They admit that they’ve stopped testing for actual H1N1. There is no way that I’ll ever believe the CDC on anything. They have become a political shill instead of a medical benefit. A bunch of hacks.
The actual H1N1 test is only 15-40% accurate anyway.
I know two people in the hospital now with pneumonia from H1N1. That’s unusual because I am the last to know anything. If my wife died, I’d probably be the last person to know about it.
The CDC considers “gunshots” a disease.
Agree. The numbers are total B.S. propaganda...
There is a reason the CDC does not recommend testing. First, the rapid tests for offices are not very accurate - a positive has good accuracy, but there is a high rate of false negatives.
There are more accurate tests, but they take a lot more time, and are only recommended for those who are hospitalized, or those for which the treatment will change depending on results.
Finally, at least in my geographic area, there's no reason to test because the overwhelming majority of flu here is H1N1 according to the sentinel testing system.
Ignore it if you want, but this flu seasons has unusual risks compared to the recent past.
I've tried to tell the 2 ladies in my office that. They will NOT hear of it. Swine flu will be the "end all" of everybody.
Some people just love drama and also love to bring others into it. They have stopped talking to me about it, lol.
