It is the most complete statistics on swine flu that I had ever come across so far although it is localised to some place in USA that is suffering with winter.
Before it was estimated that 80% of flu cases were swine flu.
This time, it is not just estimate but actual tests.

On November 4th, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued an update on H1N1 swine flu statistics in the US current through October 24th, week 42.
H1N1 Swine Flu vs. Regular Seasonal Flu
During the week of October 18-24, there were 19,642 specimens tested for influenza virus. Of those, 8,268 (42.1 percent) tested positive for some variety of flu virus. 21 specimens were influenza B, with the remaining 8,247 being influenza A. 5,453 of those cases were confirmed as H1N1 swine flu; the remainder either were not subtyped, or the sub typing was unsuccessful. Not one single specimen successfully subtyped showed either of the normal seasonal flu subtypes (H1 and H3).
What is the Current Spread of H1N1?
Forty-eight states reported geographically widespread influenza activity, Guam and two states reported regional influenza activity, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico reported local influenza activity, and the U.S. Virgin Islands did not report.
Region 3 (DE, DC, MD, PA, VA, WV) and Region 7 (IA, KS, MO, NE) reported the greatest percentage of cases that tested positive for flu. Region 3 also had, by far, the greatest number of confirmed H1N1 swine flu cases.
Other Important H1N1 Swine Flu Statistics in the Update
* There were 22 pediatric deaths associated with an influenza virus during the week in question, 19 of which were confirmed H1N1 swine flu, and three whose subtype was undetermined. The child deaths were located in Arizona [3], Florida, Georgia, Guam, Montana, Ohio, South Dakota, Tennessee [2], Texas [9], Washington, and Wisconsin. This brings the total flu-related deaths in children since August 30th to 74, and 114 overall with the H1N1 virus. In contrast, there was only one influenza-related pediatric death in the same week last year. * The percentage of deaths associated with P&I (pneumonia and influenza) was above epidemic levels. For the week in question, the epidemic level is considered to be 6.6 percent of all deaths; it was at 7.1 percent. * All areas reporting had levels of ILI (influenza-like illness) above the baseline for this time of year. the national baseline for the week in question is 2.3 percent; but the week's figures were right at 8 percent.

You mean all those 30,000 deaths from common flu were actually tested? Either you are an idiot or just a blatant liar.
And all those statements by WHO that 80% flu symptoms were Swine flu were all tested positive for Swine Flu.
And the model that predict that 30,000 US residents die of flu per year is also tested.
Idiot. Models and estimates are never tested. They are just models and estimates, as the authors had meant to be. Only idiots like you equate them to actual tests.
Even now, only a sample is tested, and it is done in autumn.

And you consider yourself an expert by interpreting estimates and models as FACTS!!!
At least I know that estimates and models are no substitutes for actual tests and all these models and estimates must be substantiated by tests.
So far, all these actual tests had proven that these models and estimates are completely wrong.
Just because someone with PHD and calling themselves experts, do not mean that their estimates and models are FACTS that override any actual experimental tests.
Just because I pointed out these common sense observations, does not mean that I want to be called an expert. I never call myself an expert in medicine, but I am an expert in some fields of mathematics and scientific methods.
In fact, in academic tests, I am better than these idiots who call themselves experts in fields outside their scope.
Paul, just don't waste your time. The man is a Bodoh and is just doing his best to divert attention from the CORRUPTION Flu that is running rampant in Malaysia. He is just a lapdog doing the biddings of his masters.

Paul knows he is bodoh. On the other hand he needs him just for the sake of bashing which he, no doubt enjoy. Their posts are certainly worthwile amusing.
