DON'T PANIC

Because we know there's a lot of information (and mis-information) making the rounds out there, we thought we'd provide some links to quality, reliable resources on the H1N1 (swine flu) virus.

First off, two quick posts which provide some clarification about the virus and the current situation:

• What is Swine Flu? How Does an Animal Disease Spread to a Human Host? (via Geeks are Sexy)
• Swine Flu Q & A (via BoingBoing)

For official and scholarly information on the topic, check out:

• The Center for Disease Control's H1N1 Flu page: http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/
• Medline Plus's Swine Flu page: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/swineflu.html
• DynaMed's Swine Flu topic collection: http://www.ebscohost.com/dynamed/swineflu/

For even more information, try Dalhousie University's public health subject guide (or you can look at a list of subject guides on this topic here.)

Hope that helps! Be safe, and just remember, wash your hands and stay home when you're sick and we'll be OK.
