How many people in the US have been infected with the Swine Flu?

Answer 1

Every state in the US has experienced the pandemic with many cases of Swine Flu (A-H1N1/09) in each state over the course of the 2009 pandemic.

There may be some ongoing cases in limited locations around the world even now, including in the US. However, the specifics and counts of cases are no longer being tracked by CDC, WHO, the US states, and most other countries, now that the pandemic has been declared over. Influenza cases are monitored, but specific H1N1/09 counts (and the lab tests needed to isolate the specific virus to be able to count them correctly) aren't being done. Influenza cases in general are monitored, but statistics are not being kept for H1N1/09 cases separately from other influenza types for reporting any longer in the post pandemic phase.

GENEVA, Switzerland (CNN) -- The World Health Organization raised its pandemic alert to 5, its second-highest level Wednesday, indicating the outbreak of swine flu that originated in Mexico is nearing widespread human infection. Patients wait at a hospital Wednesday in Mexico City. The swine flu outbreak began in Mexico.

Dr. Margaret Chan, the U.N. agency's director-general, said the decision means that all countries should "immediately" activate pandemic preparedness plans. "This change to a higher phase of alert is a signal to governments, to ministries of health and other ministries, to the pharm industry and the business community that certain actions now should be taken with increased urgency and at an accelerated pace," Chan said. The annoucement came as the number of people infected with swine flu increased rapidly across the world, and health officials scrambled to get more information about the virus -- which has no vaccine. "It's a virus that we've never seen before," said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. "There's no background immunity in the population, and it is spreading from human to human, all of which has the potential for a pandemic." Germany and Austria on Wednesday became the latest European countries to report swine flu, while the number of cases increased in the United Kingdom and Spain. There are 132 confirmed cases in 11 countries, the majority in the United States, according to the WHO and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Those figures include seven deaths in Mexico and one in the United States. The virus has been reported in 10 states, and the number of people infected with the 2009 H1N1 influenza strain grew to 91 in the U.S., the CDC said Wednesday. That number includes the first U.S. swine flu fatality: a 22-month-old child from Mexico who died of the illness Monday at a Houston, Texas, hospital.

The answer to this question will, sadly, change. When the virus has "run its course," you will get a finite number of countries that experienced death and complications from exposure to the virus involved in this current pandemic level 5 (April 29, 2009). There are suspected cases in several countries, but the ones with definite cases that I am aware of are Mexico, United States, Canada, Great Britain, Spain, New Zealand, Australia, Austria and I believe I may have heard Luxemborg and Hungary. Not sure if the suspected case in Israel has been confirmed.It is in Isarel.It is allso in China,Germany,Dennmark,Netherlands,Switzerland and Germany.

All of the US states have had cases of the swine flu as well as deaths from it. There may be some ongoing cases in limited locations around the world, including in the US. However, the specifics and counts of cases are no longer being tracked by CDC, WHO, the US states, and most other countries, now that the pandemic has been declared over. Influenza cases are monitored, but specific H1N1/09 counts (and the lab tests needed to isolate the specific virus to be able to count them correctly) aren't being done. Influenza cases in general are monitored, but statistics are not being kept for H1N1/09 cases separately from other influenza types for reporting any longer in the post pandemic phase.
