Could someone who understands German please have a look at the Germany section? It is in very poor English right now and the sole reference in in German. magnius (talk) 16:38, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
In Germany is a suspect case, just at the border with The Netherlands.
The flu is in two men and a woman, who are in isolation in a hospital.
They came back from a trip to Mexico and felt a bit feverish.[1]
Please update the numbers on Germany. The 3 cases mentioned in the initial source are confirmed negative influenza A - so it's not swine flu. Source: http://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/0,1518,621426,00.html. (Headline says All-clear for suspicious swine flu cases). Btw, local hospitals have not seen any "third" person - there have been only two persons quarantained and tested. And the mentioned city, Bielefeld, is not on the German-Netherlands border, it's pretty much central. If you want to specify the localisation, I suggest "in the state of Northrhine-Westphalia". --hilmarwoy 20:58, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
Brazil already adds up 4 suspects of the Swine Flu. Two are interned in Belo Horizonte with suspicion of swine flu. It rises for 4 persons interned in Brazil with suspicion of swine flu. A couple was interned by suspicion of swine flu in the Hospital of the Clinics of Belo Horizonte, in this Monday (27). According to the General office of Health of Minas Gerais, the couple had spent some days in Mexico and began to present the symptoms of the flu still in the aircraft, which landed during the dawn in the International Airport Tancredo Neves. The two will be subdued to examinations.

New Zealand now has 4 confirmed cases. However no details have been provided about the new confirmed case other than that it is not one of the Rangitoto college group. The MOH has also stopped providing a geographic breakdown of the figures, so we don't know what geographic area the new confirmed case is in. Hence the map is now out of date as there may now be a confirmed case outside Auckland. Furthermore we have no way of updating it. We may be forced to consider deleting it.Hawthorn (talk) 09:09, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

False alarms and hysteria?
As of today (2. May 09), the Singaporean Health Ministry has informed all students at university that they must take thermometer measurements prior to entering exam halls from now on and are not permitted to enter if high. As students are not able to re-take any exam under any circumstances here, this means that they would have to fail that particular exam. - I know this is not really headline news, but I just felt like sharing the madness that the hysteria has caused around the world. There are no reported cases or probable cases in Singapore so far. Just thinking about thousands of students taking exams, I bet at least a few will have higher temperatures, and that they have to go through all this nonsense is just ridiculous. - In fact, knowing this country this is one of the typical measures taken to create fear in order for the citizens to rally around 'the' party in protection.
Any thoughts on mentioning something about the side-effects to all this hysteria? Unnecessary slaughtering of 300,000 pigs in Egypt and the like. (apparently they belonged mostly to Coptic Christians.) Or look at the number of possible cases in the UK - skyrocketing out of angst. This could all turn into a classical case of ringing the fire alarm when there is no fire. - And next time no one will believe it (and more to the point, if this virus mutates by the next season, public response will be lower).

1. Can we make a separate article for Thailand akin to Mexico, US, UK and Spain. If this is not necessary can we please reduce the size of the section.
2. Thailand so far as a sum total of 2 suspected cases. No one has died, no one has been confirmed of having it. Why then is this section growing and growing each time I come back. Someone is adding every tiny little bit of excruciating detail that is totally unnecessary.
3. The sections on France (4 confirmed), Germany (9 confirmed) Denmark, Austria, Ireland and Netherlands all have one confirmed case - added together all of those sections are still shorter than that of Thailand which has zero. Can we therefore delete most of the Thailand section, or if someone is adamant about keeping it then create a separate article for it.

There are two versions of the map... 76.66.202.139 (talk) 04:03, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
The Peruvian map is incorrect, the virus have been confirmed in Lima Province, which is the metropolitan area of Lima, the map currently have in red the Lima Region where no cases are confirmed or suspected. Also one of the confirmed cases is in the Arequipa Region. 201.230.37.233 (talk) 06:17, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

The Japan map File:H1N1_Japan_Map.svg (the second version) is incorrect, and this map should be removed. No domestic infection case has been confirmed in Tokyo. This map is now questioned also at Japanese Wikipedia, mainly because Tokyo is categorized mistakenly. Drawing area-grouping maps for certain countries (like this one) may be a good idea, but such a map should not be used at least until it becomes well-verifiable. What is the source for Tokyo? The problem as to this map is not where Narita Airport is located (exactly not in Tokyo, though). I think port-quarantined (i.e. non-domestic) cases are to be excluded from such an area-grouping map. If included, wrong information can be read from the map as if an outbreak had been confirmed in a certain area, only because an international airport is located there. --Dumpty-Humpty (talk) 02:58, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

The one thing I see missing from the table that would give a ratio indication of the transmission rate of the virus now, is a column to report on the number of suspected cases that are reported to be NEGATIVE. The table over time, depicts the change in status to the number of cases that are postive.
Further, the number of suspected cases that are reported fluctuates a lot more than the confirmed cases. Right now that only shows one side of the story as suspected cases may be removed because it some are erroneous, not becuase it was confirmed negative. So perhaps report the erroneous number as well, if not here on another page. It is vital to understand how many suspected and investigated cases are reporting NEGATIVE. This may obviously be very hard to do as bad news is discovered and spread more than news that does not shock, but reduces the expectation of the event. Prehaps Google Flu Trends can help.
This page is BRILLIANT, it is a fairly accrurate (as fairly can be) and vital number representation of the past week, this can not be found anywhere else. The version history will be (painful) but valuable for someone if the wanted to try to estimated the doubling time of the suspects and confirmed case. That is an important figure. For people and not only Google, to be trending the future, we need to think of the value that this massive community of people can make in realtime, to assiting us to get an informed overview of the current state and future evolution. To ALL technical people out there humanity has a virus and we have no patch, it has spread to multiple subnets and it is spreading within these subnets, it has spread from a subnet to another. AND we are NOT shutting down the gateways. If it does not stop naturely than we have a pandemic already. The network has a virus.
What is the infection ratio, what is the transmission rate, these are not the most important things. These numbers will represent the change, either way, decrease or increase. Someone that knows wikipedia better than I would know if that was possible to do or not.
Thanks

If no one registers an objection, I'm going to seriously trim the UK section. It is exceedingly long for something that already has its own subarticle. The US or Mexico, both more greatly affected do not suffer from excessive section length. 70.29.208.129 (talk) 12:22, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

I think we should delete from the list the countries that hasn't report a confirmed case, because as the title says: "Affected countries" and countries that had reported suspected cases aren't affected. Maybe at the end of the list we could me another section that says: Suspected cases or something like that. Or we could change the name of the section. What do you think?

The North American map is missing Greenland. As Iceland, Canada, USA and Denmark all have swine flu, Greenland could conceivably get cases as well. Since Greenland is part of North America, it should appear in gray on this map. 70.29.208.129 (talk) 11:45, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Should a confirmed cases map be made for North America, like Europe and South America do? If one is made, it should incorporate Greenland in the mapped area (even though it has no confirmed cases at the moment. It is still part of North America). 07:57, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
I think the scale needs adjusting. For one thing "red" as 30+ looks out of place, for another, 20+ and 30+ seems too close together. I suggest using the standard key (1+/5+/50+/500+/5000+) or the magnitude modified key (1+/10+/100+/1000+) or the 5x key (1+/5+/20+/100+/500+/2000+/10000+) or the doubling key (1+/5+/10+/20+/50+/100+/200+/500+/1000+/2000+/5000+/10000+)

There are 5 swine flu cases in romania currently. Could someone update the main page?
Cantacuziono Institute representatives declared on Monday that there were two more cases of swine flu in Romania: a 28 year-old woman, who recently returned from New York, and her mother.
The patients are in a good physical shape for the moment, according to the doctors. They started an epidemiologic investigation to find out who else has been in contact with the two women.
There are five confirmed cases of swine flu infections in Romania. The newest two are not related with the first three. The first swine flu case from Romania was announced on May 27. A 30 year-old woman, also returned from New York, was tested positive for AH1N1 virus. Several hours later, two members of her family were diagnosed with swine flu. english.hotnews.ro/stiri-top_news-5765632-two-new-swine-flu-cases-confirmed-romania —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.116.84.27 (talk) 14:09, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
