is much known about the testing procedures that we have here in Australia, compared to those in North America?
I’ve read some reports of American health professionals stating that we have a large number of positive cases simply because our testing methods aren’t 100%, therefore we sway in the side of caution and if it seems likely that you have it, then it is officially stated as you been infected with the H1N1 Influenza virus..
I wondered how true that was..

56 cases of swine flu in Canberra now. Swine flu is mainly dangerous for kids and the elderly so just keep an eye on your kids as the virus is in our school system already.

This is similar to what happened in Melbourne, as soon as the virus got to the schools that was it…
Australia now has 1823 confirmed cases of H1N1 Influenza 09.

I just love how the Victoria government uses social networks and modern web tools to communicate with their community.
