Where do I look for more news on swine flu?
The CDC's new swine flu website is a good place to start, for information both on the state of the outbreak and on how to keep your family healthy. Other good options:
- The World Health Organization is tracking swine flu cases worldwide.
- The Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy is following swine flu, bird flu, and the possibility of a flu pandemic.
- The Infectious Diseases Society of America gears its swine flu news to doctors, but that information on treatment and avoidance is useful for individuals, too.
- The federal government's pandemic flu website provides a broad range of information on preparing for a pandemic.
