Attached is the LA County surveillance report for Week 33 that I received via e-mail just now. The report shows 35 deaths, which is 10 more than its previous reported for the period ending August 8th. That's 10 deaths in two weeks!

With that, my total for California is 165, as follows:

Alameda 11
Berkeley City 1
Contra Costa 6
El Dorado 1
Fresno 4
Humboldt 1
Long Beach City 2
Los Angeles 35
Marin 4

I haven't seen anything in papers about California outbreak. But they seem to far and away ahead of any other state in terms of mortality. They're also approaching Mexico death toll, having passed Australia's which is unsettling to say the least. Perhaps over the summer, California is warmer and with the avian genes in H1N1 - it might like it. Or perhaps California got hit harder. Or there are 'other' possibilities which aren't so friendly.
