Ummmmm.....

Didn't the last swine flu prop pay off because we passed 500 U.S. cases? Maybe you have some other number in mind and typed in "500" by mistake.

As of 11AM today, the CDC has the U.S. total at 642.

Okay, I clicked on your W.H.O. link, and they list the U.S. has having just over 400 cases. Does the W.H.O. have a separate way of counting infected patients than the CDC, or is the CDC getting false positives? And if they are false positives, why did the first swine flu prop pay out?

Confusing.
How is this prop diffrent from the one that just delisted?
Do you mean 500 NEW cases? for a total of 1000?

I've been told that the 1918 outbreak was mild at first, in the spring, Disappeared during the summer, Then came back full-blast in August.
Todays flu looks like it might follow the same patern.
Perhaps this prop:
Will swine flu H1N1 return in Aug 2009 causing xxx new cases between Aug 1 and Aug 31, 2009?

That link says "The United States has reported 642 laboratory confirmed human cases" as of today so this prop has to be changed to more than 500

do you mean that the number of active cases does not drop below the 500 mark?..... just saying that if they don't die they have to get well and if they get well the number of cases should drop right?
