Neither Jeremy nor I is an epidemiologist. Thanks to the intertubes, solid and reliable information is available, information that isn't tinged with hysteria.

A developer "niman" from Philadelphia has a Google maps app which is tracking occurrences of swine flu.

Tara Smith over at Aetiology is an epidemiologist, and she provides an easy-to-understand synopsis of what swine flu is and what it isn't.

As always, the best way to avoid the flu is to wash your hands. Cough and sneeze into your elbow instead of your hand.

Ah, ain't evolution grand? Those crazy mutating viruses and their determination to party on in our cells . . .
