Check out David Mattison's blog for a discussion of the Fluwiki. Call me crazy but I don't think public health is one of those areas where everyone has an equally good chance of getting it right.
Someone writes in something wrong, I look at the site, it's corrected a few minutes later...I still got wrong info and more importantly, I don't know I have wrong info.

This has something to do with a culture of fear don't you think?
First the flu coverage in Business Week and now the huge story in the recent issue of National Geographic warning of a pandemic that will kill 180-300 million people...
According the National Geographic article, the US has only ordered 2 million doses of Tamiflu, while France has ordered enough for 25% of the population. I wonder who will get those 2 million doses if they are ever needed?
The President, congress, the richest, rich...how about the poor? The middle class? Hmmm...
I'm almost tempted to move to France.
Only Texans, I think, will be be able to get the vaccine. Sue, you may need to repatriate!
