If anybody is worried about H1n1, or just wants to follow it in detail for the sake of knowing, USAToday.com is one of the places to go. Like most other online publications, they have a page that deeply covers the "swine flu", tracks the cases per region and includes blogs, articles, photos and facts about H1n1 and the influenza season in general.
There is a map at the top of the page that shows, through color coding, which regions of the U.S. have been more affected. If you scroll your mouse over it, a bubble pops up (much like their 2008 census page) with the cumulative cases and the case rate per 1 million. The most interesting part however is the time-line beneath the map. If you drag the arrow down the time line, you can simultaneously watch the number of cases grow/shrink in the U.S.. View the video below to see the numbers changing.
