data discrepancy

[gsgs]

when you look here
http://www.health.state.ny.us/diseases/communicable/influenza/surveillance/2009-2010/

or here
http://isds.cirg.washington.edu/distribute/images/daily_counts_fever2.ratio_nyc_6.png

then there is almost nothing in week 36 in New York state and
New York City.

not much in New Jersey either according to
http://www.state.nj.us/health/flu/documents/stats08/flummwr_36.pdf


But CDC gives this chart
http://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/regions2008-2009/Images/senreg2.gif

for region 2, which is just NY and NJ.


the question is , how well are those who had got the 1st wave protected
now against the 2nd wave ?
What can we expect from vaccination ?
Is anyone examining this, is anyone interested at all ?
I don't see it mentioned/examined.

Re: data discrepancy

There is a lack of coordination between the Regional and National Communications.

Because I am Local I will bend toward the Regional Communications but still observing the National and International Communications.

Re: data discrepancy

Looking at the links you provided...

NYC has ~5% ILI reported

NJ has 3.38%

CDC has for NY + NJ ~5%

Does this agree with your assessment?
