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.

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.

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. CDC: 4,714 cases and 4 deaths Illinois: 638 cases. 473 in Chicago and Cook County (metro Chicago). Wisconsin: 655 cases. 476 in Milwaukee. State count is slightly higher than CDC. Texas: 556 cases.

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.
