Swine Flu Infections Have Reduced but Deaths More Than 'epidemic Threshold' in US
Earlier this month, the CDC unveiled a new method for counting deaths from swine flu, and revised its estimated death toll from the new strain of flu to 4,000 people overall, including more than 500 children.
Worldwide, more than 207 countries and overseas territories or communities have reported laboratory-confirmed cases of pandemic swine flu, and 7,820 people have died of the new strain of flu, according to statistics released last week by the World Health Organization (WHO).
In North America, the Caribbean and a limited number of European countries, the WHO said "there are signs that disease activity has peaked."
