Swine Flu Cases Overestimated


www.cbsnews.com
If you've been diagnosed "probable" or "presumed" 2009 H1N1 or "swine flu" in recent months, you may be surprised to know this: odds are you didn’t have H1N1 flu.

In fact, you probably didn’t have flu at all. That's according to state-by-state test results obtained in a three-month-long CBS News investigation..

If you have a fever they report it as swine flu, so says a family member who is a nurse in an ER. He says people have been coming in freaking out due to sniffles etc. If they dont have a fever they send them home, if they do, they give them tamiflu and send them on their way and report it as swine flu.

He also says its very mild unless you are already sick or you do not take care of yourself while you are suffering from it, ie. not drinking fluids, not resting.

exactly that is what i mean- if they don't test you and wait for the results how do they know it is the swine flu, the regular flu or something else?
they just say it is they are tryingto scare the world.

Strictly addressing "Agenda" why would they do this? To force a vaccine on all those people who already had H1N1 and presumably don't need the vaccine?

(just a little speculation)

Nah, I really doubt it. They can't seem to keep up w/demand as it is, let alone provide enough to force it on the population. I'm betting it's being hyped and used to put pressure on Congress to push through the health care bill. There is one thing that I do believe and that is that the Admin. will not waste a "good" opportunity...

Did you go to the doctor and get tested?

I got sick last week and would have sworn it was the flu, felt like the flu, but they tested me and it was not. My doctor stated (I live in a large metro area) that he had NOT seen a confirmed case of the flu in anyone over 20 yrs old.

Said at the start that swineflu was rubbish, and people like ron paul said too. Unbelievable what commotion it caused that first month.

I wonder how many people in the usa will listen to this?

I've emailed my step-mom who told me she had the swine last week. I've asked her if she was just told she does or if they actually tested her for it and it was confirmed as swine.

I guess we'll wait and see what she says. I'm very interested to know.

This is what is worrying me about whatever people are getting sick from. So far it seems the people that are dying are people who either already had medical issues and the ones that don't have medical issues are young kids.

As said in an earlier post, I was watching the doctors and they made a point to say that the rate of death amongst kids with no other health issues was worrisome.

Something here is out of balance.

While our (German) media inform us of 1,000 dead children from swine flu
in the US out of a total population of 300+ million, Germany reports three
dead out of 25,000 infected out of a total population of 83+ million.

Vaccination started yesterday all over Germany with little interest from the
population due to controversial discussions about the side-effects and the
gravity of the flu, and because of preferential treatment of the army with
a different vaccine.

Health care and ambulance personnel are the first to be vaccinated.

Recent US Martial Law legislation in connection with swine flu or using swine
flu as a pretext to prepare for financial operations with respect to unrest ?

flutracker.rhizalabs.com...
This web site has statistics that don't make sense. Over in Kansas supposedly 2000 have died form h1n1 yet when I talked to the Kansas Health Dept they said only 7 haved died?
This flu tracker also says only one person has died in China of H1N1. If I remember correctly China is usually a country that has outbreaks of communicable dieases a lot.(Sars,avian). China's population is about 2 billion so why isn't rampent there? Is there anyone in China who can confim any of this?
Look at the other countrys who have a lot less deaths? Even mexico has less deaths than the US now. Third world countries are dealing with this better than the US or at least not being hit as hard?
You are right about being out of balance.

My step-mom said she was tested (she lives in Missouri btw). She also had this to say:

"Yes I was tested. However, I have been told that the tests aren't always correct so the Centers for Disease Control tell most doctors if the symptoms are there and the test says no then treat it as swine. "

So docs are being told to call it swine no matter what. Because a negative test could still mean it's swine and a positive test could still be wrong but it's still swine.

So basically, anyone with flu like symptoms is said to have swine.
