I spoke to a doc in Georgia earlier this week, who said that while patients are being diagnosed with swine flu and admitted to the hospitals around his area, those people with flu are no longer being tested as to whether they have swine flu.

IIRC, that happened around these parts earlier this year.

Sure. By not collecting this information, we avert a panic. Might have political implications. Big no-no.

Heard a doc here say it didn’t matter if it was H1N1 or seasonal. It’s type A and is treated the same. The test is about $400 to confirm H1N1
