- greedo 7y agoAnd how does Italy test the flu? In the US, there's minimal flu testing and most of the metrics are based around surveys.
- SkyPuncher 7y agoI'm not disagreeing with you. However, at this point, some of the flu estimates are actually inferred/modeled by the CDC. The flu is a well-enough study disease that they're able to, relatively accurately, model population statistics based on a sub-set of tested patients.
