It would be interesting to know many Swine Flu killed in its first month.

In the first month starting from the first death in the US (a Mexican child) there were deaths in 7 states. The total for the first month was about 10-15 in those 7 states. [Sorry, the best graph I can find has a granularity of 50 on the vertical axis, so I have to estimate.]
