The University of Daytona reported that it has it's first confirmed case of the Swine Flu. The student is already recovering and back to classes. The University says that there might be other students who have been ill with flu like symptoms, but they might not have sought medical help or have primary care doctors. In either case, they are requesting that students report to them if they are feeling ill so that they can get a handle on the actual number of cases.
What the article doesn't say is if they will be getting lab confirmation on all people who report "flu-like symptoms" or if they will simply count them all as swine flu. Right now, the WHO nor the CDC require swine flu to be confirmed by a lab.
So my question, how will we ever know the real numbers since there is no way to clinically establish regular flu from H1N1? The answer is that we won't, and they don't want us too.
