Actually the figures I have came from multiple sources. The health
authorities in Australia, New Zealand and the UK have no

is not a chargeable treatment. Indeed costs of H1N1 are already
imposing a unwanted drain on their financial resources
Ignoring the facts may make you feel good but its not good science.
