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.

If we'd like to see the trend of the chart as a line, the slpoe of this line is getting steeper recently. The desease is spreading faster now, globe-widely.
WHO has reported 35928 confirmed cases in 79 countries, with the cases from Mecixo, Canada, Argentina, Spain not included.
Today's increament is mainly contributed by the US, which has been accumulated for 7 days. In this case, just view the big number may mean nothing because it is not actually real-time. But things can get clearer when we look the overall trend: the slpoe has got steeper anyway.
Besides the US, the UK reported 404 more cases (total 1226), 49% increased; Australia 221 (total 1823), 14% increased; China 100 (total 318), 46% increased; Germany 75 (total 170), 79% increased; Guatemala 45 (total 119), 61% increased; Israel 49 (total 117), 72% increased; Netherland 26 (total 61), 74% increased; New Zealand 28 (total 86), 48% increased; Singapore 22 (total 47), 88% increased; Tailand 21 (total 29), 263% increased; Egypt 8 (total 18), 80% increased.
As said before in this blog, North America is the still the worst continent, followed by Australia, Europe and then South America and Asia. However, something is changing: Europe is getting worse than expected during the last weekend; most reports from South American countries a missed today, but it can be rackon that it won't be good; Asia may be going into its next phase--big expansion; and Africa, not falling beyond expectation, finally started its trends, like what Europe and Asia have done before.
The number analysis is good. It seems the spread for this disease in a global level is unavoidable.
However, as long as the severity, especially the death rate is not increasing. It will be fine. We are actually meeting with a new "common flu".
