USA FluView Reports - Week 48 (2009) - Week 20 (2010)
"Synopsis:
During week 48 (November 29-December 5, 2009), influenza activity continued to decrease in the U.S
* 478 (8.9%) specimens tested by U.S. World Health Organization (WHO) and National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System (NREVSS) collaborating laboratories and reported to CDC/Influenza Division were positive for influenza.
* Over 99% of all subtyped influenza A viruses being reported to CDC were 2009 influenza A (H1N1) viruses.
* The proportion of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza (P&I) was above the epidemic threshold for the tenth consecutive week.
* Sixteen influenza-associated pediatric deaths were reported. Thirteen of these deaths were associated with 2009 influenza A (H1N1) virus infection, two were associated with an influenza A virus for which the subtype was undetermined, and one was associated with an influenza B virus infection.
* The proportion of outpatient visits for influenza-like illness (ILI) was 2.7% which is above the national baseline of 2.3%. Six of the 10 regions reported ILI at or above region-specific baseline levels. Regions 3, 6, 8 and 10 reported ILI below their region specific baselines.
* Fourteen states reported geographically widespread influenza activity, Puerto Rico and 25 states reported regional influenza activity, the District of Columbia and seven states reported local influenza activity, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and four states reported sporadic influenza activity.
During week 48, seasonal influenza A (H1N1) and influenza B viruses co-circulated at low levels with 2009 influenza A (H1N1) viruses. Over 99% of all subtyped influenza A viruses reported to CDC this week were 2009 influenza A (H1N1) viruses.
During week 48, 7.8% of all deaths reported through the 122-Cities Mortality Reporting System were due to P&I. This percentage was above the epidemic threshold of 7.1% for week 48. Including week 48, P&I mortality has been above threshold for 10 consecutive weeks.
Sixteen influenza-associated pediatric deaths were reported to CDC during week 48 (Alabama, Arizona [2], California [3], Colorado, Minnesota [4], Missouri [2], New Mexico, North Carolina, and Virginia). Thirteen of these deaths were associated with 2009 influenza A (H1N1) virus infection, two were associated with an influenza A virus for which the subtype is undetermined, and one was associated with an influenza B virus infection. The deaths reported during week 48 occurred between August 9 and December 5, 2009."

Re: CDC Week 48
falls like a stone. Faster than it did rise.
So similar curves: New Zealand,Hongkong,Netherlands,Argentina...
It can't be the weather.
What is it, that makes the waves end abruptly but still allows another wave
some months later {some short-term immunity !?!}
Deaths are still high, there is usualy a delay in the deaths-curve
I'm interested in expert panflu damage estimates

Weekly Flu Report Week 49
During week 49 (December 6-12, 2009), influenza activity continued to decrease in the U.S.
* 391 (6.9%) specimens tested by U.S. World Health Organization (WHO) and National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System (NREVSS) collaborating laboratories and reported to CDC/Influenza Division were positive for influenza.
* Over 99% of all subtyped influenza A viruses being reported to CDC were 2009 influenza A (H1N1) viruses.
* The proportion of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza (P&I) was above the epidemic threshold for the eleventh consecutive week.
* Nine influenza-associated pediatric deaths were reported. Eight of these deaths were associated with 2009 influenza A (H1N1) virus infection and one was associated with an influenza A virus for which the subtype was undetermined.
* The proportion of outpatient visits for influenza-like illness (ILI) was 2.6% which is above the national baseline of 2.3%. Five of the 10 regions reported ILI at or above region-specific baseline levels. Regions 3, 6, 7, 8 and 10 reported ILI below their region specific baselines.
* Eleven states reported geographically widespread influenza activity, 20 states reported regional influenza activity, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and 11 states reported local influenza activity, the U.S. Virgin Islands and eight states reported sporadic influenza activity, and Guam reported no influenza activity

Re: Weekly Flu Report Week 49
Six hundred ten (99.7% of 612 2009 influenza A (H1N1) viruses tested are related to the A/California/07/2009 (H1N1) reference virus selected by WHO as the 2009 H1N1 vaccine virus and two viruses (0.3%) tested showed a reduced titer with antiserum produced against A/California/07/2009
That's up one from last week.
