How to Track Swine Flu Cases in Your Area

Do you want to know where swine flu cases have been identified in the U.S. and across the globe? Up-to-date maps are available that include fatal, probable, suspect, confirmed, negative and total cases for each state and country around the world.

• Step 1
The most recent map is a Google Map (Not Google Earth, although that does have one too). This map and the data behind it were compiled by Dr. Henry Niman, a biomedical researcher in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, using technology provided by Rhiza Labs and Google. The map was compiled using data from official sources, news reports and user-contributions.

• Step 2
CDC.org have a good website about the H1N1 pandemic with probably the most updated information at http://www.pandemicflu.gov/

• Step 3
Older maps from Google that include locations of cases could have old information but are available with state-by-state breakdowns.
