That is a possibility. While officially they have announced swine flu is ruled out, without a confirmed alternative diagnosis, it remains possible that it could be a false negative. I'm not sure that refusing to call the outbreak swine flu would prevent panic among the people; there seems to be more panic viewing the outbreak as an undiagnosed disease than there would be for confirmed H1N1.

. . . there seems to be more panic viewing the outbreak as an undiagnosed disease than there would be for confirmed H1N1.

This is an important point. Fear of unknown is always magnified over fear of the known.

Public fear and panic is greatest when authorities fail to name a disease or discuss possible etiological origins. It is simply human nature to fear the worst in an undiagnosed disease outbreak.

Re: Jordan - Cluster of approximately 19 people with acute pneumonia type illness (11 confirmed) - 1 confirmed death

Nice find, Treyfish. That case appears to be in the same general area as the cluster of HCW in "Hawooz" ("blue") Public Hospital, and was treated in Prince Hamzah Hospital (which might just be the best respiratory hospital in the area) which treated several of the nurses.

But I don't see any evidence that case ever set foot in Zarqa Hospital to contract anything there, nor do I see any evidence of any contact with the previous suspected cases before taking ill. So it remains unclear whether this undiagnosed respiratory death is linked to the previous outbreak (possibly indicating community spread) or may be due to something else. We already have 4-5 deaths in this thread that are currently viewed as unrelated to the outbreak...

Update: Treyfish's post #92 below seems to indicate that this man died of myocarditis which is not suspected to be linked to the main undiagnosed outbreak.
