Swine Flu Case Counts in Select Cities May 29 2009
Here are some swine flu or novel H1N1 case counts for select United States cities or metro areas. Missing reports are due to the state health authorities no longer posting counts on their websites. It is worrisome that both Washington state and Wisconsin have ceased public reporting. Seattle, Milwaukee and Madison have large outbreaks of swine flu and that data would be useful.

Swine Flu Weekend Update – United States May 30 2009
Here are the latest swine flu or novel H1N1 case counts. The CDC numbers are from 11 am on May 29. The state numbers are from their various websites and marked with the date that they were posted to the site. Lost cases is the difference in the totals between the CDC count and the various states. The most striking error is California and I have been advised via e-mail that the CDC is looking into the problem. The CDC has listed the same case count for California since May 18. More states are no longer posting their counts. Wisconsin and Washington are the most disturbing of the states choosing to do so. Both have large scale outbreaks ongoing. By no longer providing counts, they are reducing the information available to both … Read entire article »

Novel H1N1 or Swine Flu Cases in the United States May 29 2009
Here are the swine flu / novel H1N1 case counts for the United States for today. The CDC numbers are from 11 am this morning. They have not updated the California count since May 18. Lost cases are those cases counted by the state but not yet appearing in the CDC numbers. As demonstrated by the date and time stamps for the state reports, it would have been possible for the CDC to have obtained the correct data before issuing this report.

Female Seabees Complete Lioness Program
Builder Constructionman Kasey Reed and Steelworker Constructionman Jody Gorsuch were the first female Seabees of Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 24 to complete training for The Lioness Program. The Lioness Program, established in 2004, stations female troops with Marine combat units. The Lioness members therefore play a vital role in security and the fight against terrorism, by searching females and children, since Muslim cultural tradition dictates that men are not permitted to look up nor touch females. When asked in an interview about her role as a Lioness, Reed commented, “It is a great experience, allowing women to show their importance in a joint effort with their male counter parts.” Reed and Gorsuch participated in a week long training course instructed by the Marines. The Seabees received classes covering a wide array of topics … Read entire article »
