Swine flu is a pandemic, and a pandemic is by definition a border-crossing international problem. If you’re reporting a global dimension of the story, the World Health Organization’s H1N1 page is a good starting point. The BBC’s swine-flu page is another useful English-language resource. It includes the Fergus on Flu blog, in which BBC medical correspondent Fergus Walsh follows the “progress of the virus around the world.” The BBC and Walsh naturally focus on UK developments, which can offer an interesting counterpoint to what’s happening in the U.S. In last Friday’s post, for example, Walsh noted that the UK vaccination program is also gearing up — and also focusing first on at-risk populations.
