Reported cases officially. Please change them to red. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.205.83.180 (talk) 08:56, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
What about choosing a different color scheme? The red and black seems a little extreme. I agree that Wikipedia is not an emergency system or a health care provider (people shouldn't be getting their news entirely from here), but I feel that slowly making the world black as deaths accumulate is not socially responsible and adds to the overall feeling of panic. Now 2/3 of North America is a dire black and Canada is a deep red. Could we change the black to blue? Purple? Green? Hdstubbs (talk) 14:37, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
These colors are an insult to Germany. Kjidel (talk) 11:33, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
Just wanted to add my 2 cents with thinking that the black for confirmed deaths is a bit unorthodox with regards to the color scheme. Painting the entire US black because of one death due to H1N1 looks strange. Do these things get voted on if there are enough people who request a change? Just asking...

Each time someone change the colours, the legend must be changed in 28 languages. 83.49.224.108 (talk) 17:44, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
I don't want to make more work for anyone but I really think that changing from black is for the best. It looks better and, more importantly, it doesn't look like we are slowly destroying all life on Earth. Can we come to a consensus on this and then stick with it? It doesn't have to be deep red? What about red for death (serious but no as threatening, green for confirmed and yellow for suspected? Hdstubbs (talk) 18:22, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
Support Hdstubbs's suggestion, for what it's worth. YeshuaDavid (talk) 22:05, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Support this suggestion as well. I never liked black for the deaths. I preferred the very dark red that was used at one point, but I recognize that it would be difficult to distinguish against the bright red if they have to be used together in Europe. I'd agree to Hdstubbs's particular color scheme, although I'm not married to it; I just want to get rid of the black. --DavidK93 (talk) 13:00, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
THE CASE OF PERU WAS A MISTAKE OF THE HEALTH MINISTRY. IT IS NOT A CASE OF SWINE INFLUENZA —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.254.95.137 (talk) 05:02, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
What are the grey bits? I know its sounds like a dumb question, but this is important, are they known to be unaffected?
Both should be added as suspected countries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Block77129 (talk • contribs) 09:36, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

In Poland stil 9 cases are under investigation as of May 1, according to National Institute of Public Health. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Danziger100 (talk • contribs) 16:37, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
The French Health Minister has confirmed 2 A(H1N1) cases in Paris, could you color the country in red?90.40.52.40 (talk) 18:44, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
Perú said it's case was finally negative, Costa Rica, Ireland and South Korea have initial positives not fully confirmed yet, so they should be yellow, and Hong Kong has a confirmed laboratory case, so it should be red. Can someone fix this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by DePalma (talk • contribs) 19:01, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
We put yellow for probation. Stop coloring South Korea, Ireland, and Costa Rica red until it is confirmed. You cannnot make assumption over something hasn't yet confirmed. Besides, color Russia to yellow. Kadrun (talk) 19:08, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
I didn't colour anything,I don't know how to do it. Actually I agree with you. No cases have been proven for South Korea, Costa Rica and Ireland. They just have initial positives that need final laboratory confirmation, so they should be yellow for the moment. And Peru had a previous initial positive that turned out to be negative, soy it shouldn't be red either. Please someone fix it so the map will be more accurate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DePalma (talk • contribs) 19:20, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
Now South Korea has confirmed the infection. You may color South Korea red. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kadrun (talk • contribs) 01:53, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
This map gives the impression of accurate worldwide information regarding the spread of swine flu. However, it is in fact a collection of media reports and detections by health agencies of varying responsiveness and capabilities. This means that there are probably serious biases in the map (for instance most of Africa has no confirmed cases which I find highly suspect). A casual reader is likely to miss these subtleties. I recommend modifying the key to include the caveat: "This map is not taken from epidemiological data and so may suffer from one or more measurement biases." Barnaby dawson (talk) 08:24, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
Or perhaps this wording would be better: "This map is not based on epidemiological data and so may suffer from one or more measurement biases." Barnaby dawson (talk) 08:46, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
Italy has confirm his first case (it's in portuguese) João P. M. Lima (talk) 11:28, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
Shouldn't China be red on this map? Hong Kong has confirmed its first case, but since 1997 Hong Kong is considered part of China even though it has a different government. --Tocino 17:24, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
While I think colouring all China a bit overdramatic, we can't have two systems in play here; French Guiana is geographically and culturally, if not politically, seperate from France, for example, yet that's coloured red. YeshuaDavid (talk) 22:04, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Portugal is yellow on the European map but nor here. Should it be? --Cessator (talk) 18:58, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
One suspected case. --Danziger100 (talk) 13:17, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
Five cases under investigation as of May 5. --Danziger100 (talk) 13:40, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Norway isn't mentioned in the template here and should therefore not be yellow. --Cessator (talk) 13:51, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi. I suggest using a small coloured circle, but one big enough to show up on the size of the image used for the main article, for the countries/special regions that have no islands or areas not smaller than Jamaica, which have either confirmed (red) cases or suspected (orange) ones. This is because those countries are hard to identify on even the main-sized version, especially Singapore. The circle should be centered on the country, or on the capital city if it is an archipelago, in addition to colouring in any parts of the country/region visible on the map at all. I think the general consensus here is not to colour all of Mainland China in red, so a red small circle should suit the purpose. It may seem misleading, for example, to have French Guiana coloured in red, but I suggest leaving in gray only the dependencies of a country too small to show up on the map and therefore otherwise would require a small circle. Any opinions? Thanks. ~AH1(TCU) 20:04, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
