Apparently they aren't testing for swine flu unless you are really sick. I wonder how many people have actually had this flu and noone knows?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend testing for H1N1 in patients with flu-like symptoms and those at high risk for severe complications: cdc.gov/h1n1flu/identifyingpatients.htm#... They also advise that most people with H1N1 flu won't need medical care: cdc.gov/h1n1flu/sick.htm#4 If everyone followed the CDC's advice, most people would not see a doctor and would not be tested, and the actual infection rate would be at least double what it appears to be. However, emergency-room visits due to flu-like symptoms are up sharply, and it is unclear how many of these patients had H1N1 versus some other respiratory illness. http://publichealth.blog.state.ma.us/2009/06/this-weeks-developmentsa-very-saddevelopment-this-week-was-the-announcement-on-monday-of-the-states-first-h1n1-related-de.html The ER spike in flu-like symptoms is easing, but the number of reported H1N1 cases continues to rise.

This suggests that people in the early stages of the pandemic, when there was a great deal of concern, may have sought medical care without being seriously ill. Now, more people with H1N1 may be staying home and treating it themselves, and there could be an increasing undercount as a result. However, the official count is accurate enough to track the flu's progress, although if there are unreported cases the actual death rate from H1N1 would be lower than the official figures indicate.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
