WHO Influenza Update # 45

 

# 3306

 

 

Today’s WHO (World Health Organization) update has a jump of more than 3,300 cases since Friday (and 4 new countries) but has to be taken with a large grain of salt given the reports we’ve seen that many countries are not testing aggressively for this virus.

 

The totals from the United States are only a little over 13,000, while our CDC admits the true number is probably well in excess of 100,000.  

 

The same inaccuracies undoubtedly hold true (to varying degrees) in countries all over the globe.
