I was setting up some internet robots to track certain keywords as they appear on the net, and I ran across an interesting site that I thought I would pass on. It's a WHO news site for disease epidemics and outbreaks news. You know, in case bird flu mutates and goes human-to-human.

You can also set up news alerts with Google News and have them sent directly to your email account when they first appear on the internet. This one is set up to search for the keyword "influenza".
