Okay, so maybe it is a really bad pun to say that the Swine Flu has gone viral (and not really accurate, web wise, but who can resist?), but three web outfits decided to throw together a website where you can get up to the minute news on the Swine Flu outbreak. NameCheap, (domain name registration) and cPanel (web hosting) has partnered with Platformic (dynamic content management system) to create and launch the site, all services donated.

So, I think this is a kind of cool idea, maybe a little scary if you have decided to be all worried about another flu. The site can give you information about where it started, how it is spread, any new cases being discovered. It also has some tips on how to avoid spreading the swine flu (and really, any other illness). The site has an up to date newsfeed as well as a Google map displaying where new cases have been found.

I know this new swine flu is really nothing to joke about, as it has resulted in some deaths and illness, as any flu does, but I think keeping a cool head, (sorry, another bad pun), washing your hands, and not panicing are the best ways to combat it. If you feel sick, stay away from people! Otherwise, we all go about our business, and try to be smart about not passing on germs. I certainly am not going to stay off of planes, trains and automobiles, just to avoid getting some pig virus!
