Are you worried about swine flu in your area (even though you really shouldn’t be)? Then be worried no longer cause lifehacker has found a nice flutracking web app that gives you an easy to read overview of where there are outbreaks and whatnot. The more you zoom in, the more details you can get. You can even get as close as to individual cities.
The map was specifically designed to track the progress of swine using Rhiza Labs and Google (which you can easily identify from the google maps control scheme) using data from various sources. Anyway, as you can see above, there is a key which identifies what each circle means. There are also more statistics on the website if you want to check it out. Apparently Bethlehem, PA (where I am currently situated) is pretty Swine-flu free. I have heard that there was one case on campus, but nothing beyond that, so woo. Can’t really say the same of New Jersey though. Not really too worried about it at the moment though since Swine-flu has been determined to be less lethal than the common flu at the moment, so until that changes, I won’t really be panicking anytime soon.
