Re: Colorado Week 51 No deaths (59 total)
Week 52:
"A cumulative total of 1,999 hospitalizations from 54 counties have been reported.
?A total of 59 deaths (9 pediatric and 50 adult) have been reported...Eighty-five percent (50/59) of individuals who died had known underlying health conditions.
Colorado influenza-associated hospitalizations seem to have declined much faster than other areas of the US...
Children less than 6 months represent 5.4% of all hospitalizations but have the highest hospitalization rate (301.1 hospitalizations per 100,000 population in that age group), which is nearly 10 times the hospitalization rates for the age groups 5-18 yrs, 19-24 yrs, and 25-49 yrs. The hospitalization rate, for the 65+ age group, (44.6 per 100,000 population in that age group) is the highest adult hospitalization rate.
...all but 2 of the sub-typeable specimens have been the 2009 H1N1 virus (99.9%). The other 2 specimens were seasonal H3 virus."
