That's only amalgamated statistical data by region, though. If I claimed to have caught a 'flu strain which was reported as only being present in, say, China, then I doubt that the WHO would stand up in court and call me a liar. Especially if I hang around airports a lot.
And, more to the point, what proportion of 'flu cases are never identified as belonging to a particular strain and therefore don't appear in the statistics?
