No, each case has to be verified by testing.

I think it could be possible if the news says "unconfirmed cases," Otherwise, if confirmed, the people tested positive for the Swine Flu. :o)

No. we need to know about stuff like that so the people can take caution to it.

Nope. Now if I could just get out of this hermetically sealed room .

Ya think??? It's a pathetic thing actually. Mexico has a severe outbreak of a flu variant (of which there are almost endless) and the media goes nuts following every sniffle worldwide. Don't forget, the normal flu kills, on average, 36,000 people each year in the US and up to 500,000 worldwide. This is of the tens of millions who get the normal flu. Media hype = the symbol of our time.
