Top Five Swine Flu Information Sources
Posted by Filippo on April 29, 2009
- The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) dedicated site
- The World Health Organization (WHO) Disease Outbreak News
- WebMD set up Swine Flu Center with excellent facts and figures
- HealthMap (for a geographical overview of multi-source data)
- Google.org Flu Trends | Experimental Mexico Data*
30/04 Update: In the last few hours pandemicflu.gov has greatly improved its coverage and organization. I guess we are at Top 6.
Of course, most major news organizations have come up with dedicated spaces to the issue, which are not considered here.
*Google has created experimental estimates of flu activity in Mexico using aggregated search data. Unlike Google Flu Trends for U.S., this data has not been validated against confirmed cases of flu.
