Cases of swine flu - the A(H1N1) casualty maps

Updated October 17 2009:

Since I started collecting these maps in April, several are discontinued. It seems the most up to date maps on A(H1N1) are source 3, 6 and 7...

Source 1:


View 2009 swine Flu (H1N1) Outbreak Map in a larger map

Black: Confirmed death
Black with "?": Unconfirmed Death
Red: Confirmed infection
Red with "?": Probable infection
Green: Influenza-like illness
Purple: Suspected case

Source 2:
It Ushahidi is now tracking swineflu.
Update: this map is discontinued

Source 3:
Healthmap is also tracking.
Update: seems to be one of the most up to date maps

Source 4:
The mainstream media are catching on: BBC..
Update: BBC's map is discontinued

Source 5:
WHO's A(H1N1) page mapped with the outbreak timeline also.
Update: This map is was discontinued end May.. :(

Source 6:
You can also try this flu tracker
Update: seems to be one of the most up to date maps

Source 7:
Here are the maps by AirDB

Source 8:
And of course, there are the Wikipedia pages on A(H1N1), though for the latest confirmed figures, I would still refer to the WHO epidemy pages I discused in this post.

Which reminds me... you need to put everything into perspective: how many people die of flu every year, and how many died of swine flu?

Picks of the week: How rich am I, news sites and giving.

[i-links]

Here are the interesting links I harvested this week:

  • A blog about strange maps and nothing but strange maps.
  • Where do you rank on the World's Richest List"? Find out on GlobalRichList. They put it nicely into perspective too.
  • A great news site that lets you filter the news by subject: Topix.
  • Talking about news: did you know you can browse through the list of lists of online newspapers, magazines and Ezines via Google/Top/News?
  • United Prosperity is announced to be up soon, claiming to be the world's first person to person loan guaranteeing website. An alternative to Kiva?
  • Giving in a Digital World is an interesting blog with ideas and news related to all forms of digital fundraising and non-profit marketing.
  • This project is just one of many creativity projects featured on the Behance website.
  • And last but least, Pifworld is a new website providing an easy way to find projects that you really care about. From hunger relief projects to wildlife protection. From HIV awareness to building a school.
