The goal of this initiative is to share data and information regarding the H1N1 flu out-break(also known as Influenza A or swine flu). This flu is a current event since April, 2009. We are dedicated to provide you a better view on current situation and trend by charting cases in United States and the world everyday.
This chart, a week later than the first one, again confirmed the point that influenza A H1N1 is not that severe to cause death, compared with SARS. The death rate for US declined from 0.22% to 0.09% and the rate for Canada slightly increased from 17% to 17.53%. This is not a bad news for people to know that the worst result by being infected by the desease is not likely to happpen to most confirmed cases and on some level controlable. But as well, is this a signal that the situation for colder areas(Canada) tends to be worse than warmer areas(US)? Closer attention will be paid to this issue by this blog.

Bo, I like your comments. But I think you misread the fatality in Canada. It is for SARS rather than swine.
Thanks man, you are totally right. It was from the SARS, not swine flu. I appologize for the mistake.
Thank you very much!
