For example here in the UK barely anyone is beign tested now: if you have flu like symptoms they assume you have H1N1 and hand you Tammiflu (there is even a phone line for you to self-diagnose.... doh). My doctor admitted to me last week that he has no idea how many of his patients are infected - it's faster just to assume swine flu - and that he suspected the figures are significantly lower (here in the UK) than reported (currently they are waffling about 100,000 new cases day)
