1st Nevada death now counted as (additional) NY case
Someone has found a statement of Nevada health authorities (http://www.southernnevadahealthdistrict.org/press_releases/2009/061609.html), that they will not count the first death of a NY resident. Hence the first Nevada case has been removed in our table. Consequently it had to be checked, whether this case has to be added as a NY case or it had already been included in the NY count.
Our counting (32 NYC, 43 NY state, as of July 1) included only cases, which had been reported by NYC officials or other NY county officials.
When Nevada is saying 'NY resident' it could mean NYC resident, but also NY state resident. So we had to check all cases in NY state, whether there is an identity.
There are three cases where the age (range) and the gender (if given) is fitting:
* 1. An elderly person in Onondaga county, officially reported on June 2, being the first victim outside NYC or the 8th in New York state (http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/newyork/ny-bc-ny--swineflu-newyork0603jun03,0,6596349.story)
* 2. A person >65 yrs in NYC, officially reported on June 5, being the 8th victim in NYC and the 9th in New York state
(http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/06/nyregion/06flu.html?ref=nyregion)
* 3. A person >65 yrs in NYC, officially reported on June 10, being the 10-12th victim in NYC or the 12-14th in New York state
(http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/11/nyregion/11flu.html?ref=nyregion). CDC then confirmed only two out of these three last cases on June 12 (a total of 13 victims for New York state).
There have been two possibilities:
* The case has been reported in New York several days before it has been reported in Nevada.
* The case has been 'deliberately' forgotten.
The former did not really look sensible, the latter would fit in with the overall strategy of the public authorities to "disappear" the fatalities in the public perception. Hence this case has been added as another case in New York (July, 1).
As it is now (July 2) we have counted the 'Nevada case' as a case, which is different from the three mentioned above and we assume, that it has not been officially reported by NY authorities.

Nevada: 0 (not counting the 'Nevada case' and also missing the recent 2nd case in Nevada)
New York: 44 (when I add up this 44 and the cases of July 1st - 2 in Orange county and 6 by NYC DOHMH - I end up with 52, that is what we have. Perfect!)
I ended up updating the style of text in the chart (someone had already updated the numbers) and BELIEVE I have brought the map to current. Apparently I was sleepier than I believed while making previous edit to talk page. Der.Gray (talk) 07:25, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
On the map of states with reported cases and states with reported deaths Wyoming is being shown as having reported death(s) related to Novel 09/A(h1n1), however the table of reported numbers is not reflecting this. Was there a report that was pulled? Or did it no make it to the numbers yet? Der.Gray (talk) 05:45, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
