My sister and one of her daughters were diagnosed with Valley Fever recently. But with the similarity of symptoms between Valley Fever and H1N1, you wouldn't necessarily know which one was the cause. At the urgent care facility that she has gone to, they have not swabbed her to test for the possibilities of antibodies left by H1N1.
Don't you think, given the proximity to border traffic, they would have tested them? Besides Texas, Arizona has the largest land border with Mexico, and they along with California and New Mexico have the largest geographic spread of the virus within their boundaries.
So I checked Google Trends, and in fact there is a fall off of Valley Fever searches, yet there was an enormous spike in the middle of April for H1N1/swine flu/swine influenza. Considering that it was 2 weeks ago that her earliest symptoms began, I think there is a stronger correlation between H1N1 than Valley Fever.
Seems to me that the doctors in Arizona may be unwittingly hiding the full scope of H1N1, and that should be troubling to everyone.
