So this is my concern, feel free to refute...
Four samples sent to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) from the University of Delaware have officially been confirmed as being swine flu or H1N1 as it is now being called.
However, now the CDC is telling the University of Delaware not to send any further samples and to treat all cases as if they were the swine flu. "With confirmation from CDC that swine flu is present in the community, routine testing of UD students is no longer required and all flu-like symptoms will be treated as potential swine flu." - SOURCE
My feeling is that if the CDC does not confirm further cases officially than how do we know what the real numbers are nationwide, because you can be sure they have told other states the same thing, right?
In response to an intensifying outbreak in the United States and internationally caused by a new influenza virus of swine origin, the World Health Organization raised the worldwide pandemic alert level to Phase 5 on April 29, 2009. A Phase 5 alert is a "strong signal that a pandemic is imminent and that the time to finalize the organization, communication, and implementation of the planned mitigation measures is short."
