If you’re anything like me, you don’t like being sick. No one likes being sick. To help you through these contagious times, TOE’s twelfth web find allows you to keep track of today’s “public health emergency of international concern”, aka swine flu, as new cases crop up around the world.
Make sure to keep your hands clean and avoid touching your mucous membranes.

UPDATE: The swine flu tracker has moved here.

I just flew from Phoenix to Chicago. Plenty of people wearing those little surgical masks. It was creepy.
I didn’t know people were wearing the surgical masks here in the States! That is creepy! Do they hand them to you when you board the planes?
Patricia, no, they didn’t hand them out. People, I assume, simply brought them to the airport. As an aside, I wish the two guys who sat behind me who kept sneezing wore them. Fortunately, even after my flight, I appear to be swine-flu free.
