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.

How many people have died to date from influenza?

Which subtype or strain of the flu can be a factor. The exact kind of flu virus infection, such as H1N1/09, is not being tracked, nor tested and counted any longer now that the pandemic is over. Therefore, this information is no longer available. Due to a good preventive vaccination program, many people are resistant now to H1N1/09 and the numbers would be expected to be significantly lower than the counts during the pandemic. In the US approximately 36,000 people die of one of the seasonal variants of flu viruses each year. The related question linked to this Q&A about deaths from swine flu during the pandemic may give a frame of reference.

When did George Vancouver discover Vancouver?

Vancouver was founded many years after George Vancouver died. Captain George Vancouver discovered Vancouver Island unexpectedly. Some of the land making up the island had previously been discovered by Captain James Cook, who believed that it was still part of the mainland. Captain Vancouver was exploring the mouth of what is now called the Juan Da Fuca straights. He believed that it was mearly an inlet and sailed into the mouth, down the Juan Da Fuca Straights, around the southern tip of the island, up the Georgia Straights, following the coast line of the island, and back into the open pacific ocean. He unexpectedly sailed all the way around the island thus proving that it was in fact an island and not part of the mainland. sorry i didn't tell you when.
