ECDC updates - 18 July 2009 - World 120,373/732 - Europe 16,059/33

[Failing no more WHO updates, I hope to rely on some accuracy from ECDC updates for a while, until countries stop feeding the machines numbers crunchers. Let me take this opportunity to thank ECDC for the excellent work produced. Please feel free to reproduce and/or translate my abstract below in all useful languages]

Full report is here.

• 169 new cases and 1 new death confirmed and reported from the EU and EFTA countries;
  
  
• 5,530 new cases reported from non-EU and EFTA countries, reaching a total of 120,373;
  
  
• The United Kingdom has issued new planning assumptions for Pandemic A(H1N1)v 2009

Unless I am mistaken, the UK Government planning assumptions result in the following figures. Please, to those number crunchers out there, point out if I have made an error, maths not being my forte. Thanks
