Fluwiki Forum * Veratect Twitter
Influenza = Uncertainty. Rumors. Caution. Hysteria. Pandemic. No, wait, a media frenzy. Or maybe, serious medical worry. Where can you go to find out the latest?
The best dynamic snapshot of what is known to the media is, no surprise, the virus's Wikipedia page.
The best source for the latest published news from around the world on the H1N1 virus (and other viruses of human health concerns) is the Fluwiki Forum. This site was started for tracking the avian H5N1 virus, and is now trying to keep up with this latest outbreak of swine H1N1. The in-depth and comprehensive background material on flu available on the Fluwiki itself is excellent ballast for the froth of "news."
If you love the froth of the latest rumors and eye-witness accounts from the street, then the twitter stream from Veratect seems to be the first choice for a real time feed of raw flu news.

If the virus has its own Wikipedia page, does that mean it can infect computers AND people?

Interested people should also check out the Flu Wiki that Jimmy Wales set up recently, lots and lots of information resources, including links to innfluenza educational materials in 73 languages: http://flu.wikia.com/wiki/Flu_Wiki

The Fluwiki is an excellent source of information mainly because it includes some rock solid basic science (that is readable) and a well-maintained forum of information. I recommend it highly.

The FluTracker - http://flutracker.rhizalabs.com is one of the most comprehensive and up-to-date listings of where suspected and confirmed cases of the H1N1 Swine Flu are.
