Yesterday morning were reported 642 cases in 41 states and 2 deaths. The second death was in a woman with chronic underlying health conditions, which made her more vulnerable. Today we're up to 896 cases in 41 states. It's everywhere, pretty much. (200 cases in Illinois? Huh.)
CDC has nifty maps of the cases now.
Revere wonders what so far, so good means in this context. The idea this is "mild" flu virus is so far true, but mild is a relative term, as we have pointed out here. And "so far" is another important qualifier. This virus is spreading relatively quickly, but it isn't everywhere and not much time has passed. He reminds us that we should pay attention to the upcoming flu season in the southern hemisphere, because it might give us a clue for what to expect this fall. Or not.
