After staying low for awhile, the number of H1N1 cases is slowly climbing again, said Dr. Zack Moore, an epidemiologist with the N.C. Division of Public Health.

“We’re starting to see an upswing on college campuses in the last week or two,” Moore said.

“(The first wave) was a very big wave, and it definitely affected students and young people more than the seasonal flu,” Moore said.

It’s possible that the numbers could climb as high as they were last fall, but there is no way to predict that now, he said.

“As long as this virus is circulating, which we know it is, it has the potential to cause illness. We have no way of predicting if or when another wave or increase in illness will occur,” Nordlund said.

“CDC continues to intensely monitor both H1N1 and seasonal flu activity and encourage those who have not been vaccinated to seek vaccine.”

What a crock! They're not at their post. They're off spiking the punch bowls.

You might be interested in the ACHA college data for the current week.

The states with the highest number of news cases are in Mississippi and Georgia.
The region which includes North Carolina is higher than others, but not necessarily due to North Carolina cases.

scroll down to see activity by state.

The table I see has NC with the third highest number of new case (56) behind Florida (70) and California (60).

I see the same as Tex, by the second graph!!!!

The states with the highest number of new cases are in Mississippi and Georgia [and Kansas].

Oops, you are correct, but what I meant to point out was the column where they show 'attack rate per 10,000 students'.

There, Kansas is highest, at 20.8/10,000;
Mississippi is 2nd, at 15.2
Georgia is 3rd, at 10.0
Tennessee is next, at 6.1
Texas and North Carolina are at 5.5 and 5.4, respectively.


The numbers don't seem particularly high, presuming that these cases are spread among a number of institutions within these states.

I stand by my comments. NC is third in the number of new cases.
