: U.S. says Too many Swine Flu Cases to Count

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Government doctors stopped counting swine flu cases in July, when they estimated more than 1 million were infected in this country.  Health officials initially counted lab-confirmed cases; however, the tally was skewed because many people who got sick never were tested.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is relying on a patchwork system of gathering death and hospitalization numbers.
