Get out of the way Mantracker, everyone is worried about swine flu now. If you ever wanted to know where the swine flu is ocurring around the world, and how many confirmed cases there are, then head over to http://flutracker.rhizalabs.com/
This website is created by Dr. Henry Niman, using the technology offered by Rhiza Labs and Google. He has then created the Flu Tracker website, that provides detailed and credible information showing how many cases of swine flu have been reported from each country around the world. The number of cases has been highlighted in various colours, from white describing the cases as non-fatal, to red being fatal cases.
For someone who may be traveling on vacation, this is vital information to know so one can avoid places where contracting fatal cases of the swine flu are a high probability.
At the bottom of the website is a forum that contains excellent information. This website is an excellent site that I visit to learn which areas around the world are most dangerous.

Public Health Agency of Canada
Fight the flu! How, do you ask? By getting the information you need! The last few links posted were either partly or fully owned and maintained by the American government, but this link is all Canadian.
The Public Health Agency of Canada has created a website to provide Canadians with detailed information on the H1N1 influenza virus. There are two specific sections made, one for individuals seeking general information on H1N1, and another for specific groups such as pregnant or breastfeeding women or senior citizens.
The website also offers updates through various resources if getting online is a problem. Users can get updates on their Twitter page, Facebook page, or on their mobile phones. Users can also subscribe to RSS feeds.
This is one of the few websites that is created by Canadians providing information for Canadians. To access the website, point your favourite browser towards http://www.fightflu.ca/

World Health Organization

The website for the World Health Organization has the responsibility to follow various health issues around the world.

Center For Disease Control And Prevention
The famous quote, "Knowledge is power" was given to us by Sir Francis Bacon. If there's one site I'm following closely in order to obtain knowledge on H1N1, it would be the website of the Center For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This website gives a day to day detailed update on the number of deaths from H1N1 and the number of reported cases.
The website also gives fair warnings on how to avoid the disease and tips on how to keep oneself clean in order to prevent catching infection.
The CDC website is maintained by the National Center for Health Marketing, Coordinating Center for Health Information and Service.
The website also lists which countries have had an outbreak of H1N1, and has a link on the left hand side of the website on treatments for the H1N1 flu. If you are unable to visit the site for daily updates, on the right side of the website, there is an option to receive email updates which may be more convenient.
To those who would like to visit the website and also get updates on H1N1, please copy and paste the following URL into your address bar:
