The swine flue will be big news for awhile. One of our local high schools is closed. I'm sure more will follow. The scare is this will turn into a pandemic, with lots of people catching the disease, and many dying.
While we wait to see if this will blow over and become huge, there are a few web sites you can use to track the status.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is one of the best known. They have a page for just the Swine Flue.
The HealthMap uses Google Map technology to show outbreaks of various diseases around the world. You can select just the Swine Flue.
Google has a Flu Trends site with a graph and a map showing flue activity and the status by state for the United States.
