We had some suspected cases here (meaning they'd not tested positive for known strains of flu but were not tested for swine flu).  My friend got sick & went to the doctor.  She was told the only people being tested for swine flu now are patients who are so ill they require immediate hospitalization.  Which means the reported numbers of confirmed cases are actually being kept artificially low.
