Disclaimer:
the number of confirmed cases reported is based on laboratory test results, except for the US. Depending on the national laboratory testing policies, the actual number of cases by country may therefore be higher.


Epidemiological update

Out of the 31 EU and EFTA countries, 30 countries are reporting a total of 13,667 confirmed cases, including 16 deaths.

In the past 24 hours, 2647 new cases were confirmed from the EU and EFTA countries, the majority of which come from the UK (Table1).

The analysis of influenza A(H1N1)v individual case reports in the EU and EEA countries has been updated as of 9 July. The results can be found at the end of this report, as well as on ECDC’s website: http://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/files/pdf/Health_topics/090709_Influenza_A(H1N1)_Analysis_of_individual_data_EU_EEA-EFTA.pdf.

The UK, now reporting on a weekly basis, confirmed a total of 9718 cases, including 14 deaths. The apparent large increase in the deaths reported is partly due to this weekly “batch reporting”. The Health Protection Agency states that the majority of the pandemic influenza cases remain mild. The fatal cases all had underlying risk factors. The full update is available from: http://www.hpa.org.uk/web/HPAwebFile/HPAweb_C/1247125493338.

Spain reported a second fatal case, in a 41-year old man with underlying chronic illness: http://www.msc.es/gabinetePrensa/notaPrensa/desarrolloNotaPrensa.jsp?id=1575.

Outside of the EU and EFTA countries, a total of 2199 new cases have been reported within the last 24 hours, including 37 new fatal cases: Argentina (22), UK (11), Mexico (2), Spain (1) and Peru (1). The first cases of influenza A(H1N1)v were confirmed from Tanzania and St Vincent. A total of 95,811 cases are reported outside of the EU and EFTA countries, including 491 deaths (Table 2). The global number of confirmed cases is 109,478 and 507 deaths.

Several media reports discussed the latest surveillance report from the Institute of Environmental Science and Research of New Zealand highlighting the high consultation rates for influenza-like illness (ILI) from the national sentinel surveillance system. These continue to be much higher (184/100 000 population) than the previous two years and are still increasing. The predominant strain identified in samples from the sentinel population and from the laboratory surveillance is now influenza A(H1N1)v, despite the ongoing seasonal flu transmission.

MANILA, Philippines – Maging ang Asia’s Song Bird na si Regine Velasquez ay hindi pala nakaligtas sa Influenza A(H1N1). Bagaman magaling na at ready na muling magtrabaho, hindi pa rin maisip ng singer-actress kung saan niya nakuha ang virus.

Ilang linggo ring nagpahinga at nag self-quarantine si Regine dahil sa A(H1N1). Katunayan, sa nakaraang episode ng Are You The Next Big Star?, pansamantalang humalili kay Regine bilang host si Richard Gomez.

"Masakit yung mga ganito-ganito," kuwento ni Regine habang itinuturo ang bahagi ng katawan.

"Kahit magpamasahe ka ‘di ba parang wala namang nagaganap, ganun, tapos ubo-ubo, nilagnat na, ganun," pahayag pa niya kay entertainment reporter Lhar Santiago sa 24 Oras ng GMA News nitong Huwebes.

Ayon pa sa singer-actress, nagpunta siya sa ospital para ipatingin ang sakit pero hindi na siya pina-confine ng kanyang duktor.

“Kasi sabi ng duktor no need [for confinement], just for me to rest in the house tapos self- quarantine na lang just in case H1N1. Sure enough it was. Yun inalagaan ko na lang ang sarili ko, inalagaan ako ni Ogie [Alcasid]," idinagdag ni Regine.

Dahil marami siyang bansa na pinuntahan para mag-show, hindi na raw malaman ni Regine kung saan niya nakuha ang virus na mabilis na kamakalat ngayon sa Pilipinas.

“I think what happen to me sumobrang baba immune system ko kasi sa kapupuytat, naging anemic pa ko kakatrabaho, kasi yung traveling ko noon tapos diretso taping tinamaan ako," paglalahad pa niya.

Ngayon, magaling na magaling na rin ang singer-actress at handa na muling sumabak sa mga trabaho. Kabilang sa kanyang pinaghahandaan ang nakatakdang concert niya sa Agosto na pinamagatang, Regine: Most Requested. - Fidel Jimenez, GMANews.TV

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Michael Jackson's father said on Friday he suspected "foul play" in the death of his pop star son, as lawyers disclosed talks aimed at settling guardianship of the singer's two children with his ex-wife.

The previously unknown talks caused a Los Angeles court to delay by one week a key hearing over custody of the kids, who are now being cared for by Jackson's 79-year-old mother.

Jackson's father, Joe Jackson, told ABC News in a TV interview Friday that he was dumbfounded when he learned his son collapsed at home and was being rushed to the hospital.

"I just couldn't believe what was happening to Michael. I do believe it was foul play. I do believe that," he said, without elaborating.

The "Thriller" singer died suddenly over two weeks ago after suffering cardiac arrest at his rented Los Angeles mansion. He was 50. Since then, numerous media reports have surfaced about powerful prescription drugs found by police at Jackson's home after his June 25 death.

"I didn't know anything about the drugs," Joe Jackson said. "I didn't even know the name of them. But I do know that whatever he'd taken was to try to make him rest because he had been working so hard, and that drug was supposed to try and make him relax.

"But anyway he didn't wake up. He never woke up. Michael died in his sleep."

Toxicology reports are pending on the official cause of Jackson's death, but numerous media reports have said that the dangerous sedative Diprivan -- normally used in hospitals by anesthesiologists -- was found at the singer's home.

A ROW WITH ROWE?

Jackson family attorney and spokesman L. Londell McMillan, said his legal team is now in talks with attorneys for Jackson's ex-wife, Debbie Rowe, about the key question of who will care for his children.

A judge gave Jackson's mother, Katherine Jackson, temporary guardianship days after the singer's death, and a hearing to continue her role had been set for July 13.

"We are pleased that the child custody hearing has been continued over until July 20 to allow us to continue to make progress in our dignified and amicable discussions for the best interest of the children," McMillan told Reuters.

He declined to detail the discussions or say if Rowe, was seeking custody of the two children she bore Jackson while they were married in the late 1990s: Prince Michael Jr, 12, and Paris, 11. Jackson had a third child, Prince Michael II, 7, using a surrogate mother whose name has never been disclosed.

Last week, Rowe told a Los Angeles television station, "I want my children," but later that same day her attorney told reporters in a telephone conference call that although the quote was correct, its intention was distorted.

At the time, attorney Eric George said Rowe had not made a decision about whether she would seek custody of the two kids, and since then Rowe has not addressed the matter in public.

In a 2002 will, Jackson nominated his mother to be the guardian, but legal experts say Rowe can challenge the guardianship and possibly win custody of her two children.

"California law, like many states' laws, strongly favors children remaining in a family that was intact when they were born, even if it no longer is at this point," said Scott Altman, an expert in family law who teaches at the University of Southern California.
