I quite like this map from the Globe and Mail, as it gives the stats on hospitalizations, ICU admissions and deaths from lab-confirmed H1N1 in the different provinces and territories, as well as for Canada as a whole. I particularly like that it gives both the raw numbers, as well as ‘how many per million’—by hovering my mouse over Alberta, I can see how any per million in my province are being put in ICU for confirmed H1N1, for example. The data is current to October 31, and is updated weekly after FluWatch Canada publishes its cumulative weekly report. For the most recent numbers, see FluWatch Canada’ surveillance page, as well as your own provincial health authority. Alberta’s is here. If you compare the the up-to-date numbers with this map, you’ll know to expect a big jump next week—and hopefully it won’t seem as alarming if you know its coming. It bears repeating: the risks of H1N1 are overall low, but are higher than seasonal flu for a few groups.
