From page 12 of the surveillance report:

All deaths in reported laboratory-confirmed novel H1N1 influenza cases are presented in the following tables. Note that novel H1N1 influenza may not necessarily be the attributable cause of death in all cases.

Approximately 20% of deaths are in people with no clear underlying medical condition.

149 deaths in those with laboratory-confirmed novel H1N1 influenza reported as of 12:00 noon November 3, 2009.

9 deaths were newly reported (12:00 noon October 27, 2009 to 12:00 noon November 3, 2009).

Re: Florida--Week 51 (total deaths 187)

Week 51:

"The majority (94%) of the influenza viruses detected were novel H1N1 influenza viruses...Overall activity for influenza-like illness reported in ESSENCE remains slightly above expected levels for this time of year...The percentage of admissions for ILI is highest in those less than 20 years old, but the small numerators and denominators in this age group result in high variability. The percentages in the older age groups is less variable and shows a distinct increase starting around week 32. Overall, the percentage of admissions due to ILI is very low...During week 51, 1.57% of patient visits to Florida ILINet sentinel providers were due to ILI. This percentage is below the statewide threshold for moderate activity of 3.34%...About 20% of death due to H1N1 are in persons with no underlying conditions."

State Summary:

  • The fall wave of H1N1 appears to be over in Florida, as evidenced by influenza activity falling to levels normally seen this time of year in most of our monitoring systems. Flu activity is expected to continue for months, caused by either 2009 H1N1 viruses or regular seasonal flu viruses, although levels of activity are expected to vary during the season. There were no H1N1 deaths reported this week for the first time since week 22.
  • Very few new positive laboratory results for influenza have been received in the past three weeks, but those detected are still for the 2009 H1N1 influenza A virus. Strains of the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus remain uniformly sensitive to antivirals oseltamivir and zanamivir (Tamiflu and Relenza).

Weekly state influenza activity: Sporadic

  • This week Florida reported Sporadic influenza activity to the CDC for the first time since week 23.
  • Multiple indicators of influenza activity in Florida continue to show substantial reductions, and there were no influenza outbreaks reported for week 52
 
Re: No new deaths in Florida in Week 52

Re: No new deaths in Florida in Week 52

From above report:
"For the week ending January 2, 35 counties indicated that activity was decreasing, 25 indicated it was about the same, and 2 indicated
that activity was increasing" (3 counties did not respond).

Total deaths 187 (9.8 per million)

Re: No new deaths in Florida in Week 1

Re: No new deaths in Florida in Week 1

Week 1: No new deaths
Weekly state influenza activity: Sporadic
Week 1 is the 8th week in a row that Florida has been below the threshold
for moderate activity. Influenza activity is similar to previous influenza seasons
at this time.

ILI: 1.16% The percentage of admissions for ILI is highest in those less than 20 years old, but the small numerators and denominators in this age group result in high variability. The percentages in the older age groups is less variable and shows a distinct increase starting around week 32. Overall, the
percentage of admissions due to ILI is very low.

Overall activity for influenza-like illness reported in ESSENCE remains slightly above expected levels for this time of year.


As of 3:00 p.m. January 13, 2010 a total of 67 (100%) counties had reported their weekly level of influenza activity. This is the eighth week in a row we have achieved 100% reporting, thanks to enhanced follow-up with counties.
For week 1 (ending January 9, 2010)there were:
 124 P&I deaths reported
 NO excess P&I deaths
The majority of the deaths are in those aged 45 years and older.

Officials: Swine Flu Killed 18-Year-Old Man, Polk's Ninth Death From the Illness
Although the 18-year-old man had chronic medical problems, the flu led to his death, health official says.

LAKELAND | An 18-year-old Polk County man who died in October has been classified as the county's ninth official death from H1N1 swine flu.


That announcement came this week as the state updated its total deaths to 201 after reviewing all Florida H1N1 deaths.
The man had chronic and underlying medical conditions. He became sick in August during the second wave of H1N1 flu. He was outside the county for weeks before dying of his illness, according to the Polk County Health Department and state health officials.

"Although other factors were involved in the cause of death, H1N1 flu was the initial illness," said Dr. Daniel Haight, who directs the local department.

Polk previously had been listed as having eight H1N1 deaths, even though nine people died of it within Polk County. That's because one of the nine who died here is classified as being a death of someone from another county.

Woman, 66, Is Polk's 9th Swine Flu Death

BARTOW | Nine people in Polk County have died from H1N1 swine flu, the latest a 66-year-old woman who died sometime within the past two weeks.


The Polk County Health Department announced her death Thursday. Florida has had 186 lab-confirmed deaths, including the latest one in Polk, as of Thursday.

Like other adults who died locally, the Polk County woman had underlying medical conditions that put her at higher-than-average risk, said Dr. Daniel Haight, director of the Polk County Health Department. None had received the H1N1 shot.

Eight of the nine people who died were adults. The other was a 4-year-old who was recovering from the flu when she died of other, unrelated medical issues, Haight said.

There's no direct connection between the latest death and previous ones, he said.

Florida records Polk County as having just eight swine flu deaths. That's because one of the people who died had lived in Polk for a few months, but her flu was counted in the total for her home area.

The Health Department doesn't provide names or locations within the county for people who die from the H1N1 swine flu.

Re: Florida in Week 5 - 6 additional deaths (total 207)

Week 5:

"The fall wave of H1N1 appears to be over in Florida, as evidenced by influenza activity falling to levels normally seen this time of year in most of our monitoring systems. Flu continues to circulate, and we have seen slight increases in some of our surveillance systems consistent with previous winter influenza seasons. For the first time since week 1, a county has reported localized influenza activity. We will continue to monitor for a resurgence of influenza activity...

This week there were 3 recent deaths newly reported. However, due to active follow-up with counties and a comprehensive review of historical death certificates, 3 old cases from previous months were updated with specific follow up information and dates of deaths. As a result the total number of deaths has increased, bringing the cumulative total to 207 deaths in persons with lab-confirmed H1N1 as of February 2, 2010."

ILI: 1.53% All regions? percentage of ILI among emergency department (ED)
visits have stabilized and are at levels similar to normal influenza seasons.

Percent positive specimens decreasing (21.9%)

No excess P&I deaths compared with previous seasons.

Three people died in the sunshine state last week from the H1N1 virus, including a 36-year-old man from Pinellas County, the weekly state report said. The number of confirmed deaths in Florida, from the virus, stands at 207.

Three previously unreported deaths were added to the state's total. All of them lived in Tampa Bay. They included an 83-year-old Manatee County man and an 82-year-old Hillsborough County woman who both died last September.

A 51-year-old Hillsborough woman died from swine flu in November.

Swine flu case confirmed

By Kathie Colgrove
NCR Reporter Friday, February 12, 2010 11:13 AM EST

Tests confirm that a Nassau County woman who died in November had the H1N1 virus.

Although the 53-year-old woman passed away in an area hospital in November, health officials did not receive the test results until Jan. 25.

According to the Nassau County Health Department, the woman, whose name was withheld, had other underlying health conditions that may have contributed to her death.

"What happened was, the person died and the positive test results for the H1N1 came back after the person died," said Nassau County Health Depart-ment Nurse Practitioner and Public Manager Kim Geib.
