			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are some resources to inform/panic you about the H1N1 Swine Flu that was just declared a <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2009/10/24/health/AP-US-Obama-Swine-Flu.html?_r=1" target="_blank">national emergency</a>.</p>
<p>Washington D.C. area residents should visit:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/metro/flu_shots.html" target="_blank">Swine Flu Vaccinations: When and Where to Get Them by the Washington Post</a>. It has links to all the D.C., Northern Virginia, and suburban Maryland Flu resources. Local residents should go here to find out where to get a shot for H1N1.</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://www.cdc.gov/H1N1FLU/" target="_blank">The CDC&#8217;s H1N1 Resource Page</a> is the one stop for all H1N1 information and latest news. It has recommendations on <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/preventing.htm" target="_blank">how to prevent getting the flu</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/highrisk.htm" target="_blank">The CDC&#8217;s list of high risk groups</a> include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Children younger than 5, but especially  children younger than 2 years old</li>
<li>Adults 65 years of age and older</li>
<li><a href="http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/pregnancy/">Pregnant women</a></li>
<li>People  who have:
<ul>
<li>Cancer</li>
<li>Blood disorders (including sickle cell disease)</li>
<li>Chronic lung disease [such as <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/H1N1flu/asthma.htm">asthma</a> or chronic  obstructive pulmonary disease  (COPD)]</li>
<li><a href="http://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/">Diabetes</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/heart.htm">Heart disease</a></li>
<li>Kidney disorders</li>
<li>Liver disorders</li>
<li>Neurological disorders (such as epilepsy, cerebral palsy, brain or spinal cord injuries,  moderate to profound intellectual disability [mental retardation] or developmental delay)</li>
<li>Neuromuscular disorders (such as muscular  dystrophy and multiple sclerosis)</li>
<li>Weakened immune systems (such as people with <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/hiv_flu.htm">HIV  or AIDS</a> or who are on medications that weaken the immune system )</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/healthtopics/Pages/Influenza_A%28H1N1%29_Outbreak.aspx" target="_blank">The ECDC&#8217;s (for Europe) site</a> covers the Swine Flu in Europe and worldwide.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.google.org/flutrends/us/" target="_blank">Google Flu Trends</a> is an innovative project to track flu activity based on their user&#8217;s search queries. It now also has a <a href="http://www.google.org/flutrends/" target="_blank">Worldwide Map</a>.  See how it works in this video:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is now a <a href="http://swinemap.org">Swine Flu Google Map at http://swinemap.org</a>. Black indicates confirmed deaths from H1N1. Grey are unconfirmed deaths. Red are confirmed infections. Pink are probable infections. Blue are influenza-like illnesses. As of this writing, North Dakota looks like a good place to set up your post-apocalyptic compound while you develop an anti-swine flu serum.</p>
