sick-teddy-bear.jpgHeadache, fever, congestion, runny nose… We all know the fluey feeling. It’s horrible and no matter how many tablets or what medication you take, any good doctor will tell you that there is no real cure for it. Precaution, they will tell you, is better than the cure. In keeping with this philosophy Google.org has launched a flu tracker for the US. Google Flu Trends says the flu search engine can estimate flu activity two weeks ahead of traditional means.

Predicting the flu wave can be just the thing for planning those much needed holidays.
