How do you diagnose swine flu and what is the accuracy of the diagnosis?

Sunday, July 5th, 2009
I am a bit astounded that doctors in minor clinics in Nova Scotia can claim to have diagnosed swine flu in four high-school students. Are they using some form of test like the HIV western blot, or are they just looking at these people weezing and in light of the present hysteria, saying OH MY GOD! SWINE FLU!

What is the appropriate face mask for the A(H1N1) virus?

Sunday, June 21st, 2009
I’m planning to buy face masks for the A(H1N1) virus and I wanna know if the appropriate one is the N95 variant. And would different brands give different levels of protection against the virus (eg. cheaper brand, less effective)? Thanks and God bless!

Is swine flu just a big rumor to jumpstart the economy by making people spend money on the health industry?

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009
Because swine flu is one of the top stories on every news media resource, many people who have normal flus or even colds, are going to the doctor’s office or buying lots of medicines and drugs. What if it is a corporate and government sponsored media sensationalized rumor to try and help the boost the global economy?
