Google Maps Tracks Swine Flu


Google Maps has a new map available to add to their glorious collection. This one is an online map which tracks confirmed cases of the swine flu, created by a biologist in Pittsburgh Henry Niman, and not by Google. (He simply used their map making tools.) This map may not be completely accurate though, as Niman gets his information from various world media which sometimes have conflicting info, and some markers on the map show a case twice.
This map may be of interest to people who'd like to see the progression of swine flu (H1N1), however for official and trustworthy information on the flu please go to the CDC site for the disease or to WHO's site.
