A loyal reader asks: With all this talk about TB, I'm starting to feel a little paranoid - I mean sick. How can I find out what's going around in my neighborhood?
Glad you asked.
There's a new application called Who is Sick? It's kind of neat. A little creepy? Maybe.
"Who Is Sick was started in 2006 with a mission to provide current and local sickness information to the public - without the hassle of dealing with hospitals or doctors. With a strong belief in the power of people and a faith that user generated content can be extremely valuable, our team set out to create an entirely new system for tracking and monitoring sickness information."
All of a sudden, I feel a little under the weather.
The system needs to be more populated. I put in my sniffle symptoms and now it looks like an epidemic in my zip code!
