The H1N1 Hustle: By the Numbers
Unfortunately, there's no central sneeze counter that keeps track of every sniffle in San Diego. But fear not, intrepid data detective! We can dig into some reports from the County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency, those guys who like to keep tabs on all things sniffly.
Here's the juicy bit: As of May 8th, 2019, a whopping 8,148 positive cases of H1N1 were reported. That's a lot of tissues! But wait, there's more! This number only reflects those cases confirmed through lab testing. The true sniffle count could be even higher.
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
H1N1 vs The Rest: A Battle of the Bugs
Now, you might be thinking, "H1N1 sounds scary, were there other flu strains out there?" Well, yes and yes! While H1N1 dominated the season, there were other contenders in the cough olympics. Here's a quick breakdown:
- H1N1 (pdm09): The reigning champ, clocking in at a cool 86.9% of all reported cases.
- H3N2 (Seasonal Flu): The underdog, only managing a measly 1.7%. Guess they forgot their workout routine.
- Influenza B: Took a vacation to a different county, with a breezy 4.9%.
So, H1N1 clearly won the sniffle showdown in San Diego in 2019. But hey, at least the seasonal flu and Influenza B were social distancing, right?
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.
