Age distribution of cases in different countries. Standardized rates of swine flu in different age classes and different countries. The number of cases in each age class is divided by total population in these ages, and these rates are later divided by the sum of all of the rates in all age classes. These rates were calculated for the USA - A (confirmed cases from the 15/4-24/7/2009 Based on [55]), Europe - B (confirmed cases up to the 20/7/2009 based on [17]) and Chile - C (all confirmed cases up to the 2/7/2009 based on [7]) and compared to their parallel rates in Israel.
