How, exactly, can we believe the CDC on this...considering that doctors are being told to classify ANY flu as the swine flu. I guess testing would be just too expensive or inconvenient.

Who you gonna believe? The government.....or your own eyes.

How will I know what strain of flu I have or if it’s 2009 H1N1 (formerly known as Swine Flu)? You may not be able to find out definitively what flu virus you have. Currently available rapid influenza diagnostic tests cannot distinguish between 2009 H1N1 and seasonal influenza A viruses. Most people with flu symptoms this season will not require testing for 2009 H1N1 because the test results usually do not change how you are treated. As of September 2009, more than 99% of circulating influenza viruses in the United States are 2009 H1N1. Therefore, at this time, if your health care provider determines that you have the flu, you most likely have 2009 H1N1.

H1N1 swine flu killed an estimated 3,900 Americans from April to October, U.S. health officials said Thursday.

We need neighbor-funded universal health care NOW!

This flu is real, it's fast and hard hitting.

I have found that I can't read the H1N1 or ARDS threads because I am still too tramatised about what happened.

I was dying and didn't even know I was that sick. Sure, I knew I was sick but when the 02 got too low, I didn't know anything though I was responding to people. While I was on the ventilator, in my dreams I was living my life with no clue that I was in ICU, on a ventilator, or had been so close to death.

Two H1N1 tests came out negative but the infectious disease doctor swore up and down that it was H1N1 that got me.

One day, when I am stronger, I might be able to handle news about this flu and the resultant ARDS.

If anyone responds to this post, I probably won't answer for a while.

Be careful, dear Freepers, take care of yourselves and pray to God for deliverance.

And what, about 60,000 die from the annual flu each year? Talk about a non-event.
