Flu Wiki
Whatever happened to the flu that was going to take over the world? That’s a question that may be on a lot of people’s minds as we enter another flu season relatively free of epidemic in the U.S. Flu hasn’t gone away, however, as one can see in this informative Flu Wiki site. Comprised of information from contributors, Flu Wiki is an amazing resource on this important subject. Bird flu is, of course, the major focus of the site and, as visitors will quickly discover, complacency is a major concern. Coverage includes information about the 1918 pandemic, flu news (reported daily), general scientific info about flu, and even a section on rumors (among other things). Excellent sites combine information for a wide variety of audiences into a single site, and I’m pleased to see that Flu Wiki has managed to do this with a very complicated topic. My hat is off to the designers for an excellent compilation.
