I"ll look at this data verses the data I have on the Kansas breakout of the spanish flu to see if there are comparisons and get back with you, I just felt the need to say, yeah, maybe we shouldnt' be so off hand with this pandemic. well my two cents for the evening.

Here is the chart for this Summer's Solar Eclipse cast for Oslo.
The eclipse degree is rising in Oslo, although the eclipse was not visible at this locality. The degree of Mars' fall was on the ascendant and Saturn was on the lower midheaven. Maybe this explains why the epidemic is hitting Norway relatively hard.

I would add that those malefics are in humane signs thus indicating human illness.

Anyone worried about infection should remember simple prophylactic measures. Cough and sneeze into a tissue and dispose of it straight away. Wash hands frequently as germs can linger on hard surfaces. Door handles and such like should also be kept clean.

Best wishes

Note that in the eclipse chart Mercury is in 8? Leo. This is where the star cluster Praesepe is. Mars is about to transit this cluster, and therefore the Mercury of the eclipse chart, this weekend.

Although I barely look at fixed stars and nebulae in astrology, I was reminded of this because my astronomy annual mentions this weekend Mars being in Praesepe event. It will be interesting to look at with a pair of binoculars.

Apart from the transit through Praesepe, the transit of Mars over Mercury could be significant as Mercury can mean youth http://www.skyscript.co.uk/mercury1.html In Ptolemy's list of ages of humans Mercury is also listed after the Moon for the youngest with Venus and Sun following. In the Netherlands, several young children and adolescents have died because of the Mexican flu.

A mutation of the Swine Flu hs been discovered in Norway, Aftenposten reports today: Link.
The new variation of the virus fastens itself further down into the respiratory system and is more serious, but a new vaccine is not required. Health authorities reassure that there is no need for pannic. The mutation is to have been observed in other countries, too.

Lab tests were sent to London on Tuesday, where the mutation was confirmed.

Check the Astro*Cartography for the most recent lunation as discussed in another thread: http://skyscript.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4892

Report from the Netherlands; 6 people were reported to have died, most of them had another illnes that already had weakened them. The epidemia is said to be milder than expected (18 in 10,000 cases). Today there was also the news that the second vaccination that is given two weeks later usually is not necessary.

Substantial investigation (v. internet) seems to have pinpointed "patient zero", 5 year old Edgar Hernandez, as the first confirmed case of H1N1 infection (he survived). The date when he began manifesting symptoms was March 17, 2009; the place is the village of La Gloria in the state of Veracruz, Mexico, a village surrounded by massive pig farms and numerous pig-manure "lakes". This date and place is the nearest available for the genesis of the current H1N1 outbreak.

Since the incubation period (before symptoms show) is at least 24 hours, an event chart for noon, March 16th, 2009 (24 hrs before symptoms) at La Gloria. Veracruz, Mexico, would be the time I would choose.

Might the chart be posted? thanks!

oddly what I see in that chart is Moon and Venus in fire Signs (fever) and neptune, Mars, Jupiter and Chiron all in Airy Aquarius, Breathing, with Sun in Pisces, heart (circulation) and uranus/chaos in the top of the chart in Pisces But that is can all be called 2020 hindsight :)
