Howell Mon, 11 May 2009 19:47:08 +0000 http://www.gleamviz.org/?p=739#comment-50 5/1/09 I first read "Worst Case Scenerio" of 1,700 infections by May 17th here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20090501/sc_livescience/worstcasescenarioforfluestimated. At that time I was wondering how two teams could make such a confident prediction for a Novel type A virus, particularly in our current era of mobility, using an extremely low-ball idea of "worst-case". I am glad to see that 6 days later you have changed your position and perhaps these predictions will match better with the reality. Thank you for the newer reports, I will gladly recommend your pages. S.

Regarding the number of cases given in the world-wide figure: these are cases confirmed by the governments of the different countries as of May 5. They can be slightly different from the CDC report since we maintain an in-house up-to-date list of confirmed cases based on a number of official sources. We are looking into the broken links issue. Thank you for reporting this. Beatriz: Thank you for your kind words.
