Updated: Information sources about influenza A/H1N1 (swine flu)
Similar information in German.
Swine flu A (H1N1) seems to make big news now and then. Since only spectacular news are good news, it might be a good idea to go to other places additionally, where the information is not so much biased towards being news worthy and has a higher chance of being reliable. My interactive graph and map of the development of influenza A (H1N1) with recent data from the WHO.
Here is an interactive website to do a flu Self-Assessment based on material from Emory University and provided by microsoft.
