Birdflu Mailing List: FW: FluSTAR - The local flu report that you requested

[William Weir (weirwilliam]

I suggest going to FulSTAR.com and FluFACTS.com because, though they 
currently deal with seasonal flu, I believe that they may help us raise 
awareness of flu symptoms (not confused with the stomach flu that is not 
really flu).

I also hope that when pandemic flu comes, these sites may prove helpful to 
us in communicating to more people at a popular level, if only with the 
symtom acronym FACTS and the symptom checklist leading to a printout 
intended to be taken to a physician.

You might even find it fun to give kids a printout of the Happy Feet 
activity book pdf containing  some flu info.
