Re: Week 40 fluview.
100% of influenza A specimens that were subtyped were H1N1.
"From August 30 ? October 10, 2009, 4,958 laboratory-confirmed influenza associated hospitalizations, 292 laboratory-confirmed influenza associated deaths, 15,696 pneumonia and influenza syndrome-based hospitalizations, and 2,029 pneumonia and influenza syndrome-based deaths, were reported to CDC."
remember our situation update for last week said 84 hospitalizations.
P&I 6.7% above the epidemic threshold (6.5%)
"Since August 30, 2009, CDC has received 43 reports of influenza-associated pediatric deaths that occurred during the current influenza season (three deaths in children less than 2 years, five deaths in children 2-4 years, 16 deaths in children 5-11 years, and 19 deaths in individuals 12-17 years). Thirty-nine of the 43 deaths were due to 2009 influenza A (H1N1) virus infections. A total of 86 deaths in children associated with 2009 H1N1 virus have been reported to CDC."
Probably all H1N1, there is not much of any other strain about.

2009-2010 Influenza Season Week 40 ending October 10, 2009
All data are preliminary and may change as more reports are received.
Synopsis:
During week 40 (October 4-10, 2009), influenza activity increased in the U.S.
?4,093 (29.4%) specimens tested by U.S. World Health Organization (WHO) and National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System (NREVSS) collaborating laboratories and reported to CDC/Influenza Division were positive for influenza.
?All subtyped influenza A viruses being reported to CDC were 2009 influenza A (H1N1) viruses.
?The proportion of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza (P&I) was above the epidemic threshold.
?Eleven influenza-associated pediatric deaths were reported. Ten of these deaths were associated with 2009 influenza A (H1N1) virus infection and one was associated with an influenza A virus, for which subtype is undetermined.
?The proportion of outpatient visits for influenza-like illness (ILI) was above the national baseline. All 10 regions reported ILI above region-specific baseline levels.
?Forty-one states reported geographically widespread influenza activity, Guam and eight states reported regional influenza activity, one state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico reported local influenza activity, and the U.S. Virgin Islands did not report.

Re: Week 40 fluview.
Yes, the confirmed death and hospitalization graphs give a misleading impression. All it shows is that testing for H1N1 is happening less often. The original graphs which included syndromic deaths and hospitalizations were more useful.
