My comment - LA County reported no new deaths in Week 2 for a total of 122. Note that these are confirmed H1N1 deaths and not total influenza deaths. I have noticed a surge in fatalities in Week 3 despite the relatively low flu activity reported in most states.
Since the beginning of the pandemic in April, 2009 there
have been 352 ICU admissions and 133 deaths due to confirmed
pH1N1 in Los Angeles County according to individual
case reporting. Of the 133 deaths, 116 had been admitted to
the ICU. The number of ICU admissions and deaths remains
low during this time of year (Figure 5).
