Interesting, in the Q & A section of the latest article i effectmeasure, the following:

The News Media keeps suggesting that the current explosive exponential growth of swine flu will be halted by onset of summer.

But look at the growth of this flu in Arizona, where the temperatures have been around 100 degrees Fahrenheit:

May4: 17

May 7: 48

May 8: 131

May 10: 182

Similar growth has occurred in Southern California. So why do we think the spread of flu is going to slowdown in the northern USA as temperatures rise to the seventies?
