On one of the forums I frequent, a member from the USA posted a thread about the swine flu in Mexico and was concerned about its spread to the USA.

Using Google Maps, you can see exactly where reports or discussions of disease and illness are occuring around the world. Very handy if you’re about to go travelling.
