Interresting charts. Uses a Google map 'look' that's interactive. Might prove useful.

Interesting that there is a concentration of cases in southern CA and southern Arizona.

Probably not too much of a stretch to think that it is due to infected illegals crossing the border from Mexico. Don’t know why Texas is clear, though.

On a college game broadcast yesterday, one of the annoucers said the teams were struggling with swime flu. That caught my attention.

The page wouldn’t load completely for me, but the chart I did say said August...and I noticed a low incidence in Atlanta. But Atlanta has had just as much swine flu as any other place, so maybe the graphs just aren’t up to date.

I spoke to a doc in Georgia earlier this week, who said that while patients are being diagnosed with swine flu and admitted to the hospitals around his area, those people with flu are no longer being tested as to whether they have swine flu.

IIRC, that happened around these parts earlier this year.

Sure. By not collecting this information, we avert a panic. Might have political implications. Big no-no.

Or, it could be that people in S. CA and S. Arizona just catch the flu like everyone else. I don’t see a greater prevalence there than in the northeast.

Not everything is about illegal immigration.

Not in CO. We’ve had our pandemic. One death, I think. Wow. We have had as many cases as Texas. I knew we had it all over here. But I didn’t realize it was so much worse here than elsewhere.

We just had a local flare-up here on Friday. A 14 year old suburban Chicago girl died from SWINE FLU

All over the new-all day

Saturday I ran across this stuck in a corner of the online edition of our local paper...

NAPERVILLE, Ill. (AP) — Suburban Chicago officials say a 14-year-old girl whose death has been linked to swine flu also had an undiagnosed heart condition.

Michelle Fahle, a Naperville North High School student, died Thursday.

The DuPage County coroner's office said Saturday that she had both the virus and a serious heart condition that 'strongly contributed' to her death.

The coroner's office says Fahle had a progressive defect in her heart that made her health vulnerable before she contracted the H1N1 virus.

Officials say more testing is necessary before a final cause of death is issued.

Fahle's death would bring the state's total swine flu deaths to 20. Since April, three swine flu deaths in the state have been in children younger than 19.

Our pediatrician said he wouldn’t be surprised if there were 10 million cases in the US.

Lots of kids have it at my kids’ school. Over 200 kids out of 1200 were sick on Wednesday.

My daughters’ best friend has it.

My daughters are high risk, and I’ve been debating pulling them from school. I’m just keeping a watch over them. We have 1 prescription of tamiflu already.

I’m also loading them up on vitamin D & C, and they are washing their hands a ton.
