Swine flu update: Week 50

Yesterday the Ministry of Health said that the swine flu has killed 163 people. In Campania the regional authority has recorded 45 deaths, in Puglia 25, in Lombardia e Calabria 12 each. In the South of Italy the fatal cases are 90, more than half of the national cases. Maybe there's a different kind of recording or updating the data, but it's really strange such a large number.
Until now the Ministry has recorded 811 hospitalized cases, which required respiratory aids in 439 cases. All the cases are 3,794,000. All over Italy the pandemic has already peaked, the total incidence is 0,22%. Only in Sardinia, where the incidence is above 1%, there's still some flu activity. The update has received almost no  coverage by the newspapers.
