The total positive cases as u have mentioned is 3095 whereas the table figure is 3905. I think there is typographical error in it.Please correct it. Also number of deaths inside is mentioned as 67 and table says 64.

The figures in the "Cured" column of the Table="Swine Flu Cases for India (last 5 days)" don't make sense...Also, do the values in the "New" figure correspond to the "daily" results from NIV ?

Thanks Parag,

Fixed the numbers. The numbers of new cases and cured cases are being obtained from the Public Information Bureau of the Health Ministry. They have stopped providing information about cured cases. We have tried contacting them and are awaiting a reply

IN SWINE FLU DEATH ARE DUE TO MAINLY Pneumonia THAT IS LIQUID IN LUNGS.

THERE ARE MANY WHO GOT SICK ONLY AFTER FEW DAYS AND NOT IN FEW HOURS PROVES WE WILL SEE EXPONENCIAL GROWTH IN CASES.

Please update statistics for Bangalore, Karnataka post Aug 25. Compared to statistics of other states, Karnataka/Bangalore updates are not timely in any of the newspapers. Everyday the countrywide statistics report a number of h1n1 deaths in Bangalore/Karnataka. But these numbers do not tally with Karnataka/Bangalore death toll published. For long time now the toll published is crawling over 43 & 44 (considering 6 deaths in Karnataka on saturday ??). Citizens would have done the math by now.
Details of the individuals who succumbed may be held confidential, but not the statistics. Also citizens have the right to know in which hospitals they died. Statistics spread "awareness" not panic. When the right numbers are not published, people may take it a bit too cool & stop taking precautions, thereby increasing the actual toll - which is what is happening right now in Bangalore.
