For these states you have so kindly ranked, only 1 sequence is on file that is close to the time period of High Intensity. A Utah sequence from mid-December does show a polymorphism at the Hemagglutinin segment that is correlated to Deep Lung Involvement, ARDS and a recently predicted pH1N1 severity marker.
