Swine flu seems to be spreading fairly quickly… Gizmodo has posted up some new ways to track the outbreak, including tracking WHO announcements of reported, or potential infections via Google maps (see below for a quick look at Oceania). Theres also the American Center for Disease Control that is also twittering the latest info. Australia seems a bit technologically behind on this one, but the Dep. of Health and Ageing website is getting news updates out fairly regularly.
Overall on the subject of the actual flu though, its early days with this and its not at a pandemic stage at the moment – although Mexico doesn’t seem to be fairing so well…
View H1N1 Swine Flu in a larger map – the source for this is a user called “niman”, who has the summary of “Biomedical Research from Pittsburgh, PA USA” so its likely to be fairly accurate…
Please note the following key/legend for the map:
- Pink markers are suspect
- Purple markers are confirmed or probable
- Deaths lack a dot in marker
- Yellow markers are negative
Thanks to Gizmodo for the tech news – Here and here.
