Breathe Easy: The US Government Has a Flu Website

November 8th, 2005 Net News, Public Health

The website PandemicFlu.gov is a clearinghouse of documents, guidelines, and strategies for monitoring and containing the avian flu, should it spread this winter.
There’s information for patients and health care workers, as well as travel guides and research updates. It’s very informative and useful. And the site’s publishers are looking to improve their track record on natural disasters and contagious outbreaks.
Also be sure to check out H5N1 blog, Flu Wiki, and Bird Flu Update for the latest new-media coverage.
