DOOM - Britain faces 100,000 swine flu cases a day

ah, good ol' lambo. welcome back. you've been away some time. if anyone ever feels the lack of a conspiracy...

As you say scotspine but testing should be used to verify clinical diagnosis.

Otherwise how will we know if swine flu is a pandemic.

that is true i guess but don't you think that the workload of testing could overload the hs, perhaps even to the point that results would so postdate the events as to be, to all intents and purposes, useless?


edit: besides, i thought the fact of a pandemic had already been established?

So are you saying that testing is woefully inaccurate and the spread of an epidemic is better monitored by clinical diagnosis?
