Roberta J. WittyThe media got such negative feedback about their “over coverage” of the Swine Flu, that it is hard to find a news report about its status anymore. But news/media coverage does not mean that an issue is no longer of importance – in fact, it’s probably the time to really take note because the “sexiness” is gone and the hard work is underway. For those organizations with operations in the southern hemisphere, your pandemic preparedness efforts should be cranking up about now because the winter season is just starting. We could see some interesting twists and turns over the next few months.

Given the advent of web 2.0 and social network, are there any web based and map based tracking system of the spread of H1N1 managed by a social network globally? I think if one can be set up with guidelines on how to enter the data that may include severity and counts by geographic regions, we may be able to get a real time picture of how the virus is spreading and gaining severity without having to wait for the official report and for the bureaucracy to catch up.
