Don’t ask, don’t tell

Why is the NHS in England not testing flu patients for H1N1?

According to callers to BBC radio programmes yesterday GPs in England have been told that tests can be carried out only on flu patients who have knowingly been in contact with someone who has visited an infected area

So Scotland may not be being particularly badly hit after all – they may just be testing more widely

Tamiflu was nevertheless prescribed, a caller said

I am not a conspiracy theorist – I do not believe that the reasons for this are dark ones. I should just like to know what they are
