another idea, how to track the flu:
make a device that automatically counts coughs and sneezings
and install it in classrooms and similar places.
The data is directly transmitted to CDC together with absenteism counts.
We get cough-charts, sneeze-charts, absenteism charts and can compare
with the CDC-charts for ILI,RSV etc. to better understand the connection
and how flu spreads.
That devide should be cheap and easy to build in big numbers : just a microphone
plus software and memory chip. Call it the cough-counter.
Maybe combine it with temperature and humidity monitoring.
