Flu Trackers

I’ve just came across with this interactive maps to follow the Influenza distribution worldwide. I don’t know how accurate and updated are, but I think it’s worth to take a look at them:

    Hi, do you have any updates now almost 2 months later after these posts and after the panic somewhat dying down even though many more cases reported throughout Mexico and the rest of the world? Were or are there any cases reported in Sayulita as of the beginning of July? Thanks.

    • As far as the official reports say, there still no cases of Influenza A/H1N1 in Sayulita.

      Some patients still come for check-ups on that one though, but they don’t even come close to the flu symptoms.

      Saludos!

    Lo ciento, only the last line caught my eye as I was scanning the post. “Free Margarita” was all I saw. Nonetheless, what better time to visit Mexico than now!

    There is no flu danger. I will go as far to say that, for the most part, there is only perceived danger in this world. I blame the fear mongering media and those who stand to gain financially from the sale of anti-viral drugs.

      You know who else is to blame? Government.

      Just kidding. But I’ve heard opinions that the whole swine flu scare was invented to make people forget about the failing economy. I guess it might be kinda working.

    Hi, me again! I just sent this note to http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29104230/ ~ anyone care to join me?

    “Hi, and Greetings from Sayulita, Mexico!

    I live here in Sayulita, and heard from my sister-in-law the other day that you recently ran a story in which you announced that there were 14 cases of the Swine Flu in Sayulita and that the restaurants here were closed because of it.

    Al contrario! Nobody I know knows a single person who has had this flu. So I contacted the local MD who told me that there has not been a single case of it in Sayulita as of yesterday, May 8, 2009.

    Our little town depends on the kindness of tourists, and erroneous reports of danger are killing us down here – Mexican and Gringo alike!

    The Mexican government wisely asked all non-essential businesses to close for 6 days to curb the spread of this flu. Stores, restaurants, churches and schools were closed all over the entire country in a noble attempt to help. We are now up and running and ready to show you all a good time.

    Please please please retract your economy-suffocating fairy tale! And then come on down and have a margarita on me!”

    • Sam says:

      I will be down there next Friday (15th) with 10 of my good friends. We are staying for a week. I’ll take you up on that margarita. Where and when?

      • Jeana says:

        Oops – sorry, that offer was for Brian Williams et al with NBC news on the printing of their retraction. (Is that you, Brian?) But have a great time here!

        Over and out on this subject from me. I’m sure the good doc wants to keep this on health-related issues.

    A friend in Colorado told me 4 days ago that NBC news ran a story that said there were 14 cases of swine flu in Sayulita. Do you?

    • Hi Jeana, so far we still have NO cases of Flu A/H1N1 in Sayulita, we should stick to official sources of information only. Thanks for writing.

      • Jeana says:

        Gracias. I agree! But I think someone should tell NBC News this, as it was national news in the U.S. and has probably affected our local economy. I will try to write them. Salud, Jeana

      • Dieta says:

        So far. But I don’t think it will last long. I’m sure sooner or later they’ll start reporting something even if it’s not exactly true it’s still a great way to get viewers (hot news and all that).
