| 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.
