Is It Getting Tired?

In the last week the number of people that have died from H1N1 was 175. This prompts the question.. Is Swine Flu Getting Tired? The decrease comes in the time where many more children have returned to school. However, governments accross the world have had a chance to react and people have become more educated about the disease. So for this reason: WE MUST LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.. Here.

I'll try and update this as often as possible, but the posts won't be as awesome as they were before.

Is There Anyone Out There?

This is my first post for a few months, how is everyone?

Since the last time we spoke the situation has gradually got worse. There have now been 4013 confirmed deaths worldwide, and 458 of these have been within the past 7 days. The worse place statistically is South America with 295 of those 458.

I'm still here, i'm not dead yet, what about you?

Desperate

The WHO has decided to keep the H1N1 outbreak of swine flu at level 5. All the latest numbers can be found from Wikipedia. I'm sorry for the short updates - I am just increasingly busy at the moment.

Desperate: I'm desperate to keep the blog updated. It may mean short posts for a while but please put up with it. You can email me: stuart_wright1@hotmail.co.uk

I Need To Revise Guys

There are many more cases to read about, found here as I need to revise. In the UK it is widely recognised that swine flu is just a secondary news item today. The main news must be that of Katie Price and Peter Andre's divorce. Read about that here, it's massive.

I Need To Revise Guys: Sorry for the short update. Exams are important.

Another One Bites The Dust

Today is the 10th May 2009, and you are reading Swine Flu Daily. We have news on a school closure but 1st I think it is appropriate for you to see to see the latest numbers. Do not read if you have a heart condition. You have been warned.

Now there are 53 people dead:
- 48 in Mexico
- 3 in the US
- 1 in Canada
- 1 in Costa Rica

Ouch! Now there are 4847 confirmed cases:
- 2699 in the United States
- 1626 in Mexico
- 280 in Canada
- 95 in Spain
- 55 in the UK
- 15 in Panama
- 13 in France
- 11 in Germany
- 9 in Italy
- 7 in Israel and New Zealand
- 6 in Brazil
- 4 in Japan
- 3 in the Guatemala, the Netherlands and South Korea
- 2 in El Salvador, Norway and Sweden
- 1 in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Colombia, Costa Rica, Denmark, Hong Kong, Ireland, Poland, Portugal, and Switzerland
- This means that there are confirmed cases in 30 countries, spanning 5 continents.
- There are suspected cases or confirmed cases in 44 countries.
- All the numbers are from Wikipedia, correct at 22:00 GMT+1, BST.

Another One Bites The Dust: A school in Britain has closed today after a pupil there was suspected of having swine flu. This may be an over-reaction but could this just be the 1st of many around the country. The full story can be read from the Guardian.

Updates are shorter as I am doing exams at the moment. I'll see if I can get some numbers up for you tomorrow.
