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 likelihood that a swine flu vaccine will be developed anytime soon?

I was just wondering, since I’ve heard a lot of people talking about scientists working on a vaccine for swine flu. How long will it take for a vaccine to be developed, though? After all, the HIV virus has been recognized since the late 70s or early 80s, and we STILL don’t have a vaccine for that!
