Times Swine flu map-update

They added a time slider to the map, but kept the circles. 

Related story in today's paper about how students at Northwestern are building a model using the physical path that dollars take, plus air traffic and commuter data, to predict the spread of the virus. So far, their predictions have been fairly close. They estimate, without the US taking preventative measures, a total of ~ 2,500 cases in the US. Not too bad in a country with 300,000,000 peeps.
