fluwikie starts to be translated into other languages - maybe this, too, can be considered to be a (tiny) part of the picture. Great blog - Thanks!
The flu wiki is a great project, and efforts to make it multi-lingual help broaden the scope to an International level.
Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for reading. I'm having fun doing it.

Thanks for reading and thanks for checking in. We're always happy to hear from readers, especially those who are "on the ground." We did have news about the menino outbreaks when they were going on, as we are ever mindful that the 1918 flu was often misdiagnosed at the time.
I'm sorry to hear you were sick, and that many others are sick as well. A major frustration is the lack of information people have on the real situation on the ground. Many suspect that there is more flu than is being reported.
Look forward to your comments in the future.
