thing is swanny, they should be activly encouraging people to get this stain of it before it mutates (although i have heard that it has already done so with 15% needing hospitalisation due to complications, in some parts of the world), we have had swine flu, the kids and i and although i was knocked for 6 they werent, (gave them nasty homemade yuk as soon as i realised i had it, their symptoms were greatly reduced, and infact amber still went to school! without any probs). as for the number reported it is guess work, the only way they would know for sure is by swabbing (viral check throat swab) or blood tests (checking for antibodies), guess as usuall it comes down to money and who knows their own agenda?
