United States Swine Flu - H1N1 Update

Case numbers increased significantly from yesterday, an additional 946. CDC reports 4,298 cases of swine flu, H1N1, in the United States. Only four states have no reported cases, Alaska, Mississippi, West Virginia and Wyoming.

The curious mix of case locations continues. The twelve states in the Midwest have 35% of the total U.S. cases (1,522) while the four states that border Mexico have 32% (1,394). Those numbers are not reflective of a region-wide outbreak, since New Mexico reports 51 cases while the other three border states have over 400 each. In the Midwest, the cases are primarily limited to Illinois-620, Wisconsin-510 and Michigan-141. The other states in the Midwest have only 251 cases between them.

Five states have reported 57% of the swine flu, H1N1 cases, Illinois, Wisconsin, California, Texas and Arizona.
