First of all, I havent even heard if this strain has been correctly characterised yet.

Secondly, what the hell are these if they are not epidemiological? case studies? medical analysis? or are these just reports form the news?

EDIT: in reference to the above numbers.

What do you mean they haven't characterized it yet?  They know it is a H1N1 strain of influenza.  Other clasifications are imposible because we really have no idea how to genetic material and characterize it basd on the genetic information.
