Graph of weekly swine flu death toll in UK

EACH week the Health Protection Agency releases figures on swine flu activity in the UK, including mortality figures. I've drawn up a graph (above) showing the number of deaths each week. NB: There is some ambiguity in the earliest figures as to whether they were cumulative and if they covered the UK or England. As you'll see the fatality figures are still running about five a week despite the drop in swine flu activity generally over the last few weeks. I can't promise to update this graph every week but I'll republish it every now and again. In the meantime the HPA website has the latest reports/figures and those deaths made public are detailed on this site's unofficial list. Oh, and in plain text:
