Talk:Epidemiology - H1N1 influenza

		+	==Very early but unrecogonised Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 Influenza Community Transmission==
		+	===OZBUG: Peter Collignon, The Canberra Hospital, Aug 2010===
		+	For those interested in swine flu, I thought this was a very interesting article from Heath Kelly and colleagues. It suggest that swine flu was already circulating in Victoria at the same time that it identified in the US (April 15th) and a week before the first “official” cases were reported in the media from Mexico - April 25th. It suggest we are nearly always quite late in identifying these new epidemics (apparently this was the case also with Asian and Hong Kong flu epidemics) and only do so after very large numbers of people have already been infected (and this making any containment very difficult). I understand swine flu was likley to be circulating in Mexico for 6 months or more before it was first reported in April 2009.
