Assessment:
New cases continue to be reported although rate
appears to have slowed
Relative impact of decreased disease transmission vs.
decreased testing is unknown
Epidemiology of novel H1N1 cases appears unchanged
Adjust daily surveillance reports to clearly reflect
increased use of aggregate reporting by states
Continue to follow up special studies currently ongoing

No new influenza-associated pediatric death were reported

ILINet (graphs by region, EARS analysis as of 5/13/2009)
week ending 5/9/2009, % of ILI outpatient visits was above the national baseline
Overall, % of outpt visits for ILI decreased slightly, based upon daily ILI reports
Geographic Spread of Influenza as Assessed by State and Territorial
Epidemiologists

The influenza activity reported by state and territorial epidemiologists indicates
geographic spread of both seasonal influenza and novel influenza A (H1N1)
viruses and does not measure the severity of influenza activity.

6 states reported widespread activity, 14 states reported regional activity, the
District of Columbia and 15 states reported local influenza activity; 13 states
reported sporadic influenza activity, and two states did not report.
