Ever since I found WHO twitter, I have been following the A(N1H1) flu update.  The first problem I have with the daily updates were that the data was presented on a one dimensional basis.  The number of cases and number of death were the latest figure.  When I see, oh 2000 cases world wide, 60 death, with number of cases broken down by country.  It was just data and did not really makes sense. 

So I start to compile the number of cases since WHO started twittering about A(N1H1).  As I go along the dates coming to today’s date, I could see the seriousness of the issue.  The number of cases has exponentially increase since more than 2 weeks ago.  You can see the number of cases on the below chart.  You can see also the number of cases in the US has overtook Mexico (Since May 10th), indicating that the control on the spread of virus is not effective, especially in the US.  Also, on a daily basis, new countries start to report confirm cases, further strengthen the argument. 

The above data is compiled from Who Twitter News daily update.
