Hi Mq -

Here is a link to the curve for influenza in general from CDC. You could say we "licked" influenza but we all know that we didn't. It's very seasonal.
cdc.gov

I got the link from Niman has a SARS email group. You can PM him to ask for the email address, or find it, as I did, on the web. I don't want to violate SI TOU so won't post.

A whole week with no more deaths: who.int

Cumulative deaths and weekly deaths graphs:

On a weekly basis: Deaths for the week.

z = early days, fewer than 10 per week.

....2 July x [only 4]
....9 July none

With almost 200 still infected, and a 10% [or 15%] death rate, that should mean another 20 of those sick will die. But a whole week went by with none and the previous week went by with only 4. Which means there's something odd. Two weeks and only four deaths?!!
