Great New Map that Tracks Swine Cases and Has Information ( gender,ages etc).


Please see this New Google Map it tracks the virus as it travels from place to place....( hat tip to Fran for finding this...) Click the Title....really interesting...Still trying to determine if it is accurate or up to date- so it is in test mode right now. I have already been told of some issues, and inaccuracies...so check you area and see if it is accurate...

That map is sure not very up to date or something.. there are at least 2 cases in MO that have not showed up as possibles yet.. and the one lady is already out of the hospital and well.. It's been all over the paper here this week.. and the 2nd case is a 19 year old boy who is from KC and has been in the hospital in Omaha, NE for 3 days.. So the map isn't very good I don't think.

I don't know how it gets updated , I think it is about 12-20 hours behind...
we shall see- I am still trying it- over the weekend - now that it is over 200 will be the real test...

thanks for the update- keep me posted on your state...I am trying as many as possible to keep me posted on your region and your state- any new info or articles I will post on the Swine Site...I am trying to track this- it is important...

esp if it is mostly children....
or where there are poor or uninsured....that can't get care...so I am trying to track clusters ( ie schools) and also Flight patterns....

Oregon has 3 cases pending as well that are not showing up.
AS I had stated in my recent post on my blog about the Swine flu.... the CDC is not showing a 2nd grid with pending/suspect cases.

I understand they want a chart with officially confirmed cases, but we do also need to know about the pending, as a heads up- and apparently the CDC only updates 1 x a day.... in a rapidly changing situation, they need to be posting numbers a few times a day.

Are the suppressing info or just really slow?

Plus that info should be front 7 center on their own web site.... for a while you really had to dig in a few layers to get the updated numbers. You'd think the CDC would have it together better.

If anyone comes up with lists that have a better flow of info, let me know.

I think they are not up to speed- let's be real , a week ago the DHHS website was still running data ( cough- fluff ) from 2000- I kid you not...so they are struggling to get caught up...

I really feel for them....about the data- we have 6 case pending too- and they are not showing up anywhere-

we need to know AGES and Hospitalization Rate is Critical....
