Apologies for the lack of updates recently. My thinking was that it made little sense to keep reporting increasing case numbers when they may or may not accurately illustrate the true picture of A(H1N1) spread but this caught my eye today and seemed worthy of a mention.
In Argentina there are 60 deaths in 2485 cases (34 deaths and 898 cases reported since friday 3 July) and in Chile there are 14 deaths in 7376 cases.

There are lots of reasons why this could be, remember it's winter in the Southern Hemisphere and there will be other respiratory pathogens co-circulating. Also, at this point I am unaware of how the cases are identified and processed.
However, this is something to watch for sure...
