Despite being off-line for the last 24 hours or so, FluTrackers.com is an important repository for disease outbreak information.
Since 2006, FluTrackers posters have been archiving public health reports, media reports, blog postings, and member comments and observations about all things related to infectious diseases and disaster preparation.
Too often over the years, online pages and reports disappear or are removed. Critical documents and past media reports become unavailable. Excerpts, quotes, and snippets from media reports and public health bulletins provide the context that will help us understand the complex history of disease outbreaks. Once posted among the forums here, these entries are permanently memorialized.
The availability of these extended web posting cannot be underestimated. Disease tracking at FluTrackers.com is much more than tweets, urls, and web links. The postings here provide the context and details of disease events as they unfold in real time. They represent a repository of information that can later be interpreted and reinterpreted in light of changing perspectives on disease outbreaks.
