“CDC officials estimated this week that 1 in 5 children had symptoms of H1N1.”


These folks are so intellegent they can create statistics without the need of data! They stopped testing for the Swine Flu (except for hospitalized and dead) back in July. I wish I could have gotten through my statistics classes with this new Marxist math! Easy A’s! Who knew that the change Obama would bring to the nation was Chicago thug math!

They have collected and tested 4,855 specimens, most probably swabs.

http://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/

* 4,855 (37.5%) specimens tested by U.S. World Health Organization (WHO) and National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System (NREVSS) collaborating laboratories and reported to CDC/Influenza Division were positive for influenza.
* All subtyped influenza A viruses being reported to CDC were 2009 influenza A (H1N1) viruses.
* The proportion of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza (P&I) was above the epidemic threshold.
* Eleven influenza-associated pediatric deaths were reported. Nine of these deaths were associated with 2009 influenza A (H1N1) virus infection and two were associated with an influenza A virus for which subtype is undetermined.
* The proportion of outpatient visits for influenza-like illness (ILI) was above the national baseline. All 10 regions reported ILI above region-specific baseline levels.
* Forty-six states reported geographically widespread influenza activity, Guam and three states reported regional influenza activity, one state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico reported local influenza activity, and the U.S. Virgin Islands did not report.

“That’s because studies have shown...”

“Experts agree...”

“Latest opinion by experts has resulted in a WAG....
