Don't Panic! Swine Flu Advisory
Overview of the Swine Flu situation as of July 2009.
I really need to make this interactive. Can anyone help? Email me at david [dot] mcandless [at] gmail.com
[UPDATE: I've hacked together an interactive version here:

Interesting how the landscape changes when you move out of just using 'numbers of cases' to look at the situation.
Argentina has relatively low infection rates, for example. But a very high death rate.
UK is being threatened by a pandemic (according to the media). But its death rate is lower than the average.
