Very Important: http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/reportingqa.htm
Shows they will be using ALL flu numbers. And that this is the first year this information will be reported - period!
BTW, without divulging telling info to my position, I datamine this type of info for this type of reporting. And I can tell you, there is NO specified test for this as of this time of writing. So yes, the numbers that will be given will be ALL flu. And remember, many do NOT test for flu. But will diagnose and treat for it based on symptoms alone.
Major problem is numbers are used for fear mongering.
We are probably seeing TONS of Influenza A right now, but rarely culture. There really is no point, if there is nothing you’ll do with the information except to say “yea, you have Swine Flu”.
