A semi-logarithmic chart of laboratory-confirmed A(H1N1) influenza cases by date according to WHO reports. [196] Mexico, USA, and Canada are shown as a breakdown of the total. In the United States, initial reports of atypical flu in two individuals in southern California led to the discovery of the virus by the Center for Disease Control in
