It’s Friday, and so we get the weekly WHO (World Health Organization) update, along with the weekly FluView report from the CDC later in the day.
As always, the caveat that most nations are not testing for the H1N1 virus, nor are they tracking and reporting fatalities. The numbers provided by the WHO represent a serious undercount of the true impact of the pandemic.
Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 - update 71
Weekly update
As of 17 October 2009, worldwide there have been more than 414,000 laboratory confirmed cases of pandemic influenza H1N1 2009 and nearly 5000 deaths reported to WHO.
As many countries have stopped counting individual cases, particularly of milder illness, the case count is significantly lower than the actually number of cases that have occurred. WHO is actively monitoring the progress of the pandemic through frequent consultations with the WHO Regional Offices and member states and through monitoring of multiple sources of data.
New Activity:
Mongolia, Rwanda, and Sao Tome and Principe have reported pandemic influenza cases for the first time this week.
Iceland, Sudan, and Trinidad and Tobago reported their first fatal cases.
