Swine Flu: Watch it happen interpipes 2.0 style!


On this link find an interactive, real-time updated map that marks out all cases of swine flu around the world. Zoom out for the whole planet or zoom in to a single city.

Fascinating, voyeuristic and more than a little morbid. Watch out for the flags with no dots, cos when you do You See Dead People..All The Time. Here's the link again, just in case.


UPDATE: Ok, i'll admit it, I'm beginning to like Twitter. Via a tweet from the esteemed Kevin Depew of smart financial site Minyanville, check out this report written by Roche back in 2008 about how it expects a pandemic to develop, the NON-preparedness of most world governments and its anti-flu treatments.
