The spread of the H1N1 virus appears to be slowing, Inside Higher Ed reported on Monday. According to a weekly report by the American College Health Association, there were a total of 3,933 new cases of influenza-like illnesses between Nov. 14 and Nov. 20 among a population of approximately three million students at colleges and universities tracked by the ACHA. The ACHA report estimated that 90 percent of the 243 institutions reported new cases of influenza-like illness, down from 95 percent the week before. The ACHA also reported that the nationwide infection rate dropped 37 percent from the preceding week, down to 13.4 cases per 10,000 students. ACHA President James Turner told Inside Higher Ed that his organization has observed nearly 85,000 cases of influenza-like illness since late August.
