Swine Flu – Novel H1N1 Weekend Summary May 23 2009
Here is the weekend summary of swine flu / novel H1N1 cases around the globe. Because of various reporting deadlines the numbers may not appear the same on all reports. In addition, many of the states and Federal agencies in the United States have reduced or eliminated regular reporting. WHO for May 23, 2009: 12,022 cases and 86 deaths in 43 countries. Nicaragua, Venezuela and Bolivia have not reported any cases of swine flu. Is it true, or are their politics keeping them from reporting? Canada as of May 22, 2009: 805 cases in 9 provinces and 1 territory, with 1 death. The median age of the cases is 21, meaning that half of the cases are age 21 or younger.

Wisconsin: Big difference between CDC- 766 cases and latest state count- 885 cases. 614 cases in Milwaukee. Texas: CDC shows 556 cases and 3 deaths, last Friday’s numbers.

Swine Flu – H1N1 Update for the United States May 15 2009
UPDATE: The CDC and the Department of Defense have elected to not update their site with current case numbers on the weekend. Most of the state sites have also done so. Expect new numbers on Monday. Ask your elected officials why updates are so unimportant. Here is the latest on the swine flu / H1N1 epidemic in the United States and the U.S. military. The number of cases continues to increase. Many states report their counts in the afternoon, after the CDC has issued its daily count, leading to differences in the numbers of cases recorded.

United States Swine Flu – H1N1 Update May 14 2009
Case numbers increased significantly from yesterday, an additional 946. CDC reports 4,298 cases of swine flu, H1N1, in the United States. Only four states have no reported cases, Alaska, Mississippi, West Virginia and Wyoming. The curious mix of case locations continues. The twelve states in the Midwest have 35% of the total U.S. cases (1,522) while the four states that border Mexico have 32% (1,394). Those numbers are not reflective of a region-wide outbreak, since New Mexico reports 51 cases while the other three border states have over 400 each. In the Midwest, the cases are primarily limited to Illinois-620, Wisconsin-510 and Michigan-141. The other states in the Midwest have only 251 cases between them. Five states have reported 57% of the swine flu, H1N1 cases, Illinois, Wisconsin, California, Texas and Arizona. … Read entire article »

Warning About Swine Flu – H1N1 May 23 2009
May 23rd, 2009 | 2 Comments
Who is going to ask the correct questions about the swine flu / novel H1N1 epidemic? The old media doesn’t seem to be. Why are the numbers of cases in Illinois and Wisconsin so high? Why are those cases primarily in Chicago / Cook County and in Milwaukee? Why are many states and the CDC not reporting totals on their websites on the weekend? Why have a small number of states such as Florida stopped reporting cases on their webistes? As of the CDC numbers on May 22, Texas had the most cases. Its site published new numbers that do not appear in the CDC report. The difference is over 400 new cases. Why is Texas next updating its numbers on Wednesday, May 27, and not sooner? As of the CDC numbers on May 22, California … Read entire article »
