Being fairly ill right now, I looked at the most recent cdc map for flu. It only shows levels by state and I thought it might be a good idea to be a bit more detailed.
Doctors could be required to upload to a website on a daily basis flu cases confirmed based on a patients zip code. It would provide anonymity for the patient, yet let someone go to the site to see progression of the ailment in a much more detailed fashion.

In fact, since my wife is on immunosupressants, I would like to subscribe to the alerts - "No unusual risks today"; "Take extra precautions if going out in public"; "Just stay home. Don't answer the door."-- lurch, Jan 09 2006 random, halfbakery
