H1N1:Mr Khaw, why not random test?

Considering that there are so many exceptions to the indicators of presence of H1N1 in a person, won’t it be a good idea, Mr Khaw Boon Wan, to do some random tests on groups who don’t appear to be sick with this variant of influenza A?

If among such groups are found victims of H1N1, then it would tell us that it’s more common and dormant than we dream of and perhaps the Ministry of Health’s strategies, whether for containment or  mitigation, need to be revised dramatically.

It may also explain why the benighted German researcher of A*star behaved the way he did!
