How many people in Texas died from the Swine Flu?

Answer 1

Since the daily and weekly counts of cases and deaths from the Swine Flu, which were initially required by the CDC, WHO, and national health departments of most nations have stopped since the pandemic was declared over, there is no way to know how many now. One reason is there are still ongoing cases scattered around the world even as of fall 2012. Another reason is that it was a burden on the reporting entities to try to track and report the numbers. And a large portion of people who had swine flu had mild forms and did not go to the doctor. Their cases could not be counted. And, if no lab test were done to confirm the specific type of flu, there is no way to know for sure if each case should be included in the count or if it is another type of flu.

The treatment is the same as for other types of flu, so there is no real medical need for testing to determine what form of flu someone has in most cases. For this reason, there is no definite count possible on cases of this type of flu any more.

Answer 2

The state has stopped keeping totals of the case numbers. There may be some ongoing cases in limited locations around the world, including in the Lone Star State. 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.

Answer 3

Alabama, like most states, is no longer keeping track of every case of probable A-H1N1/09 infection, and most suspected cases are no longer being tested for confirmation unless there is a hospitalization or other specific reason to test. This is partly just because of the sheer numbers of cases and difficulty tracking and testing along with the unnecessary costs of testing when the approach to the treatment wouldn't be altered based on that information anyway. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has lowered the reporting requirements and now is asking states only to report confirmed hospital cases and cases resulting in death.

The following information about the numbers of cases in Alabama includes "official" and "unofficial" numbers as of 8/25/09. The number of official laboratory tested cases in Alabama is 477, and an unofficial (probable) count of cases is 1125 and in both ways of counting, the number of deaths due to the A-H1N1/09 Virus in Alabama is 2 and have only recently happened.

Knowing how many cases are currently active is not possible, since by the time you get the results of confirmation testing, the patient has usually recovered. Therefore, the numbers are kept for an accumulated total rather than a more "current count".

Answer 4

There may still be some ongoing cases in limited locations around the world, including in Pennsylvania. 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.
