These folks on Twitter also are worth a follow:

FluTrackers, a group of volunteers dedicated to tracking various types of influenza around the world

CIDRAP (see above aggregator)

Helen Branswell, considered one of the best reporters covering pandemic flu

CDC Emergency"




Thank you USC for recognizing the effort we make to provide quality information.


A special thanks to Dutchy who links back to FluTrackers and we re-tweet. Oh...and Fla Medic, Senior Moderator at FluTrackers, is there too for his blog Avian Flu Diary.


This is an achievement earned by everyone here.

Thank you. We are reaching many!

ahhh so sweet to tweet on flutrackers
while the swine flu flies busy bees won't be too bitter to twitter
here's hearth for the cold and hope's pitter patters
If ye olde influenza flits too close to your windahs
FT'll txt y'all faster than rumour be tittered...
Stick with flutrackers and get the pick of the litters
where letters and liters of nonzombie ink really matter.
help us lock up the flying swine, join the jolly new crew so fine the new media prodigal preppers,
henceforth shall the words of science and spin match wits foes and friends
til students and doctors, nurses, elders, exam proctors find all the answers
and all the dead are remembered and the heroes and healed sing the praises of fearless phrases again, it's FluTrackers... amen .

Thanks, Roehl_JC. Maybe it is time for FT to establish a poet laureate position.
