google flu trends in mexico

I have posted the link to google flu trends in the past showing flu activity geographically based on from where people are searching for flu symptoms. Google now has a version for Mexico with a couple of important differences: the data has not been validated against confirmed cases and does not include data for all states (for example where is Nayarit).
