H7N9 snapdate: H7N9 totals by month, 2013 vs 2014 to date

January has so far tallied 1.6x more cases than the peak month of 2013 which was April. And those cases are still being reported.

But only 2 lab-confirmed cases were added to the list last night, perhaps things have started to slow at last? 

That is extrapolating a bit much from 1 night of reporting with low numbers, but let's wait and see what happens tonight (today for you guys up north!). Seems to be the mantra for this sort of stuff.
