FluView

FluView is a freely available online resource developed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It provides timely information about influenza activity across the United States, with national, state, and regional weekly summaries of activity.[1] Weekly update takes place during the normal flu season.[2] FluView also reports about antiviral drug resistance.[1]

Presentation

CDC distributes its weekly surveillance report via two websites, FluView and FluView Interactive. While FluView is a static report, FluView Interactive allows the user to see more detail such as geographic breakdowns, seasonal variations, etc.[3] FluView's platform uses a range of maps (all of which are color coded) to represent the extent and severity of influenza outbreaks, at the state and national level. It complements with a range of podcasts and videos, with the purpose to educate users about the impact and dangers of influenza.[4]

Management

FluView is maintained and used by the CDC to determine, for example, the quantitative level of influenza among the U.S. regions.[5] The Epidemiology and Prevention Branch in the Influenza Division at CDC collects, compiles and analizes data from a range of sources. Estimated geographic spread of flu activity are reported by State health departments each week and the level of flu activity is categorized as being widespread, regional, local, sporadic, or no activity. A series of tables and charts display the summarized data, which can be downloaded by users in a PowerPoint version of select surveillance summaries.[1]

gollark: Random human cells are not a "person".
gollark: You're killing something but it isn't necessarily a "baby", please do not get into this now, etc.
gollark: I can't really be bothered to read this in much detail, but the paper is specifically about poly*gyny* and is apparently not correcting for other factors involved (correlation isn't causation and all).
