Novel H1N1 Flu Situation Update

http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/update.htm
Data reported to CDC by July 2, 2009, 11:00 AM ET.

33,902 confirmed and probable cases with 170 deaths in 53 US states / territories (including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands)

NOTE: Because of daily reporting deadlines, the state totals reported by CDC may not always be consistent with those reported by state health departments. If there is a discrepancy between these two counts, data from the state health departments should be used as the most accurate number.

The breakdown of the number of laboratory-confirmed cases is given in this map.

Cumulative number of global laboratory-confirmed cases = 94,512 (440 deaths)

Check out the July 7th virtual press briefing with Dr Keiji Fukuda, Assistant Director-General ai, Health Security and Environment [mp3 16Mb]

WHO has a very cool interface map as well...which requires Flash. The numbers are a little behind, but it gives a very cool overall.

----------------------------------

It is important to remember that the US CDC number includes both lab-confirmed cases and probable cases...the WHO only counts lab-confirmed cases.
