Perhaps they are not receiving any more confirmed cases because they are not testing for it unless you specifically tell them you might have it. As in" oh by the way i just got back from mexico". One of my kids went to the doctor AND emergency with a prolonged fever, cough, etc. they said: oh wait for a few days and if it doesnt go away we will test for an infection". At the hospital, they said,
" oh if his dad is sick too then the baby just caught a virus....." Kind of hard to spot the swine flu that way dont you think? (not that i am saying i have swine flu of course.....
