Sections other than the Timeline Section

I think the Confirmed and Suspected cases just duplicates the table in the main article and is harder to keep updated. I like the idea of the timeline in the first section and would like to expand this to include all the significant events, but would like to delete the rest of the article. -- Pontificalibus (talk) 16:34, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes the table do the things better, but the timeline is a good idea to illustrate the tendency of the influenza, too. -- Grochim (talk) 20:16, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the non-timeline sections should be integrated into the timeline, then removed. There's no sense in duplicating 2009 swine flu outbreak by country here. Calliopejen1 (talk) 14:25, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Patient Zero

Edgar Hernandez, 5yo boy, contracted from Smithfield Farms (Smithfield Foods) pigfarm in Veracruz, Mexico (state), according to CNN, Sanjay Gupta. (aired 9am EDT 29 April 2009 CE) 76.66.202.139 (talk) 13:07, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know the young boy got ill on 2nd April (check http://www.latimes.com/features/health/la-fg-mexico-flu28-2009apr28,0,1701782.story. Therfore, "Patient Zero" (so far) must be the two children from California, who fell ill at the end of March. The flu in March in Mexico was a normal flu, except of that of the one boy. Please correct the timeline (I don' tknow how to do it. It is my first time that I take part in Wikipedia.) --201.153.40.28 (talk) 14:31, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Someone posted in the discussion area of the main article some links where it is said that an earlier case was found in September 2008 in Texas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2009_swine_flu_outbreak#Patient_zero_2 Here I copy the content (I hope this is fine): ^[1] Please update!--201.153.40.28 (talk) 17:43, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
