POPSGoogle Flu Trends ~ How does this work?
used by CDC. Of course, past performance is no guarantee of future results. Our system is still very experimental, so anything is possible, but we're hoping to see similar correlations in the coming year. The doctors keep track of the percentage of their patients who have an influenza-like illness, also known as an "ILI percentage". CDC and state health departments collect and aggregate this data each week, providing a good indicator of overall flu activity across the United States. So why bother with estimates from aggregated search queries? It turns out that traditional flu surveillance systems take 1-2 weeks to collect and release surveillance data, but Google search queries can be automatically counted very quickly. By making our flu estimates available each day, Google Flu Trends may provide an early-warning system for outbreaks of influenza. This is an exciting development, because early detection of a disease outbreak can reduce the number of people affected.

POPSA BREAST of Fresh Air Seeing this article reminded me that profession often dictates perspective i.e - a surgeon will want to operate, a baker will want to bake... and in this case a doctor specializing in asthma... will look for a way to suggest suckling milk increases lung efficiency? While this is a good news article - I think too often the truth is slighted and spun in favor of one's own professional bias. But alas, we live in a world of bias. PS - who is paying for all these studies to tell us breast milk is good for babies... isn't that fact just as old as human beings? Search google for "oligosaccharides in breast milk" if you want the bigger scoop. To sum it up breastmilk is the only natural source of all necessary glyconutrients which are derived from oligosaccharides contained in breaskmilk. These are responsible for cellular communication, bacterial intestinal health, brain development, lung health, allergy health, immune system. More to come... I am on a BREAST QUEST!

POPSSpanish Flu Never Happened Well - it did happen... it just was not really the flu at all. See - the CDC records statistics for ever disease and sickness. Problem is that Pneumonia and Influenza cases are reported as one figure, when they are 2 separate things altogether. Influenza symptoms are just early onset bacterial infection, not ever proven to be a "Virus" at all. In fact the word "Virus" is not even correct for the original discovery is now called an "exosome".
