Well, although with any disease Y.M.M.V. There will always be those who suffer more severely than others just as there are those that will suffer far
less severe symptoms than others...and some that show a natural immunity. That is the case with all diseases.
However, I do believe that there is a major amount of misdiagnosis going on as well. The Health Care Industry is so quick to chalk every Flu-like
symptom up as a "confirmation" of H1N1, and as the only reliable test costs over $400 and over a week to get the results, they either err on the
side of caution, or use the inexpensive Nasal Swab Test which is more incorrect than it is accurate.
If this later case is true, that there is a lot of misdiagnosis going on in regards to H1N1, and simple Type A or Type B Influenza cases are being
attributed to H1N1, then the numbers of those infected would be over-inflated by roughly 58% making it not as a widespread pandemic as it is feared to
be. Although, the flip-side of this would also mean that those who really have H1N1 instead of those misdiagnosed with it, are facing far more severe
symptoms than those who don't really have it but are yet further statistics of having been infected when they really haven't.
All in all, I highly doubt it comes down to anyone lying, at least as far as those who have been told they are infected with it by their doctors.
We also tend to regrow things other people don't. I just wish it was
TEETH.
