      maybe other regions are getting it now - as in USA, Canada

      multinameflu is not so fast until it grasps a region

      with only a few % of people infected in New York (and Mexico-City ?)
      they can have another wave of the same thing soon, why not ?

      Hmm, why did it decrease anyway ? Lots of non-immune people
      still available...
      I'm interested in expert panflu damage estimates
