CDC issues Swine Flu Alerts over Twitter
April 27, 2009
The Center for Disease Control has now started issuing Swine Flu Alerts over Twitter. The CDC’s username is @CDCemergency and is issuing real time streams of all the information regarding the CDC’s fight against the Swine Flu.
This is perhaps the first time in history that Twitter is being used for such a large scale planetary fight against a viral pandemic.
Some of the most recent CDC posts on Twitter:
* CDC Swine Flu Update - Conference Call for Clinicians - 2-3PM ET NOW!
* Swine flu - 40 confirmed cases. New York count now at 28.
* Antiviral Drugs and Swine Flu - CDC recommends oseltamivir or zanamivir for treatment and/or prevention.
* CDC testing shows U.S. strain & Mexico strain of swine flu virus are genetic match.
Well worth following the CDC on this one….
