Resource for swine flu information

A website for up-to-date information on the swine flu (H1N1 influenza) worldwide is at:

Statistics released by the World Health Organization (WHO) indicate the H1N1 virus may be mutating and becoming resistant to such antiviral medications as Tamiflu.

Right now nations in the Southern Hemisphere (Australia, New Zealand, most of South America) are in the middle of winter...their flu season. Our flu season in the U.S. won't begin for several months yet, so the best indication of what we can expect from this deadly virus come winter will be what goes on south of us through September.
