MONGOLIA IS LISTED AS EXPERIENCING DIMINISHING FLU ACTIVITY
Ulaanbaatar, /MONTSAME/ Mongolia is listed among countries experiencing diminishing flu activity that include Japan, Taiwan and, South America and the Caribbean, as well as parts of China.
With the worst pandemic in over two decades, the H1N1 virus has taken over and has been linked to over 10,000 deaths worldwide. The virus is not only spreading throughout the United States but rather in countries all over the world. In the U.S., the CDC estimates that 1 in every 6 Americans have been infected by the H1N1 virus.
The World Health Organization(WHO) announced on Friday, December 18, 2009 that no less than 10,582 deaths have occurred as a result of the swine flu. These deaths reportedly span over 208 countries that have lab-confirmed cases of the H1N1 virus.
Despite the staggering number of deaths, the crusade against the H1N1 virus actually seems to be working well. According to a recent statement released by the WHO, swine flu activity has substantially declined in the United States and Canada with levels nearing the seasonal baseline.
Prescriptions written for the anti-viral flu drug Tamiflu have also significantly decreased, as have swine flu diagnoses in the United States over the past month.
The rate of infections have notably decreased throughout the U.S. The rate of infections in Europe have decreased as well, however 99% of all flu cases in the countries throughout Europe are confirmed cases of the swine flu.
Unfortunately some countries were not so lucky. Countries experiencing an increase in the rate and severity of cases include the countries scattered throughout Western, Central, and Southeast Asia.
The 10,582 deaths so far only include the deaths from April of 2009 to December 13, 2009. Several more death may have occurred since that time, and many more deaths are likely to happen thereafter. The WHO identifies that the number of deaths in a typical flu season are between 250,000 and 500,000.
