Want to know if the flu is progressing in your area or school...

then Rhiza Lab has a great tracking system here... Go down to the forum to get specific area info.

1. Very nice, and able to zoom in on individual cases, too.

It could help bring the facts home to some people, I hope.

6. I thought it was pretty useful also. They're saying in Dallas that...

our school district is somewhat reluctant to report cases, so I need to stay informed.

3. Last time I checked that site a month or so ago...

there were none in my town. Now, there's 10 cases in a school a mile or so away from me. So, yeah, it's progressing.

4. I think we're doing pretty well here in Dallas, but what scares me is...

it seems like this h1n1 comes on so fast. The first little girl in Garland (a suburb of Dallas), started having symptoms on Thursday (so her mother said), and by Saturday she was dead. But, I do think she had underlying medical problems.

5. It's out of date

Just in this city in NM, there were 3 confirmed fatal cases among school kids last week, one 28 year old man so far this week.

They probably updated only every two weeks or so, inadequate for an epidemic situation that is producing fatalities among a younger population.

7. It might be out of date in some circumstances...

but the tracker is used by parts of our government, so it's probably the best we're gonna get. But if there's one better, let us know.
