Swine Flu As Spectator Sport

Filed under: Net News


HealthMap, an online project started by a couple scientists from the Informatics Program at Children's Hospital Boston, tracks disease spread as is reported by the CDC, WHO, ProMED Mail, and a number of other relevant sources. As the excitement about the new strain is spreading faster than the pathogen itself, HealthMap is keeping up to date on the latest reported cases with links to news stories and other relevant information. Additionally, a Twitter feed has been setup to provide timely updates on the latest of what the virus is up to.
