Who is keeping better track of the cases for Swine Flu? CDC or WHO?
Someone mentioned that there were two confirmed cases in Marin County, Florida, and I wondered if she meant Martin County, Florida? Or Marin County, California?

1. WHO? (i don't think that i'd put too much stock in any numbers released by roger daltrey.)

3. CDC reports confirmed cases...
... and their counts lag behind the suspected cases. I believe WHO reports suspected or probable cases (not totally sure about that).

If you are interested in learning about new cases (suspected and confirmed) as soon as they are detected, you can follow Veratect's timeline on Twitter...

5. And that is changing been readying mexican press for the last
hour or so

They pulled confirmation as the WHO apparently now wants backup confirmation, which makes sense

Take into account the L-3 biolabs don't exist everywhere

They have now classified 13 cases that were previously confirmed due to probable false positives, at probable and if they test negative somewhere else, that is good news

6. Personally I prefer W.H.O., because they tend to announce them more quickly. NT
