The number of swine flu cases in Illinois jumped by 35 percent over the weekend - but health officials maintain it's nothing to be alarmed about.
Total cases of the H1N1 virus, probable and confirmed, rose from 1,357 on Friday to 1,828 on Monday, an increase of 471 cases.
While the number of new cases had risen fairly steadily at a pace averaging 217 a week in the previous month, the rate tripled in the past week.

Sharp increase in number of swine flu deaths
Print09/06/2009 - 18:52:24
There's been a sharp rise in the number of worldwide deaths blamed on swine flu.
249 people are thought to have died after contracting the H1N1 virus - a rise of 90 in the last 24 hours.
More than 26-thousand people in 73 countries including Ireland have contracted the virus.
The World Health Organization says it's likely to continue spreading.

To my knowledge the only samples of 1918 H1N1 that have been sequences are post 1st wave. I certainly don't recall having read of any. And right now, that would be some handy information to have.
Do we know if early (1916 or 1917) 1918 A/H1N1 contained the lethal NS1/92 mutation? If it was acquired in 1918, how much did that add (% of lethal mutations) to it's lethality? I've often wondered where it comes from, given that it isn't in the seasonal human flu. Where does it hide, or is it self-initiating like the polybasic cleavage site? I wonder if in 1918, it was present in a circulating avian flu, just like today.
I tried to look up early sequences in the NCBI database & couldn't find any (even only HA) prior to 1918.

I believe there is a 1902 chicken isolate from Japan. For Breveg Mission, the viral genes were from a frozen victim (which I believe is true for all 1918 sequences).I think that no entry before 1918 is due to the fact that the only 1918 human pandemic virus samples were result of a laboratory re-construction rather than isolation from samples collected on the field. The research done in frozen soil to exumate corpses of individuals died by spanish flu resulted in the discovery of viral fragments, subsequently re-built, in fact creating hybrids.

Where do they spend those 3 months?
