Students at an area university are not being tested for H1N1.
The Press Republican reports that Dr. Kathleen Camelo, who is the director of Plattsburgh State's Center for student Health and Psychological Services says -- quote --“We will see a percentage of different viruses, but H1N1 will probably be the majority of causes for influenza illness.” She says anyone with flu-like symptoms will be considered to have H1N1 or swine flu and will be treated accordingly. She says young people are the focus since they tend to have the virus before symptoms set in and can carry the disease to others. Camelo added that while 90 percent of the deaths from seasonal flu are senior citizens, 90 percent of deaths from H1N1 are probably, as she described them "non seniors".
