Flu Season

I've spent most of the week with the flu. I'd heard flu season was starting early this year, but I wasn't prepared for it to be this early, in part because [predictions:assumption] for flu outbreaks are still not that precise - especially in germy places like here in New York City. But a new approach, borrowing real-time analysis [techniques:uniques] from the latest weather prediction [models:moods] may be able to forecast the next flu season. Weather modeling draws on current conditions and [filters:flyers] to make predictions. Now that we're all Googling flu-related queries when we get sick, real-time influenza [infection:defection] rates are available online.
