27,717 Swine Flu Cases Including 127 Deaths In USA So Far - Could Be One Million

According to the CDC"s (Center for Disease Control and Prevention"s) Friday evening weekly update, 27th June 2009, there have been 27,717 laboratory confirmed human cases including 127 deaths of Swine Flu or A(H1N1) influenza. Fortunately, so far the Swine Flu A(H1N1) virus appears to be no more virulent than ordinary seasonal human influenza. No reports have come in indicating that the virus may have mutated. Possibly 1 million cases in the USA Anne Schuchat, of the CDC, said "We"re saying that there have been at least a million cases of the new H1N1 virus so far this year in the United States. Reported cases are really just the tip of the iceberg." She explained that the figure of 1 million was worked out through a mathematical modeling system the CDC is using. Many people are becoming infected and self-treating, or just waiting till they get better as they would do with any flu or cold, and not reporting to their doctors. If the 1 million estimate is right, the virus is even less virulent with 127 deaths per 1 million infections.
