Funny how they report flu searches of citizens to the feds. But when Illegals come over with untreatable crap like TB nothing happens!!



We know how you're feeling, we know if you're sick.... We'll report it to the goverment...



GOOGLE will launch a new tool that will help U.S. federal officials track sickness. 'Flu Trends' uses search terms that people put into the search giant to figure out where influenza is heating up, and notify the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in real time.

GOOGLE claims it would keep individual user data confidential: "GOOGLE FLU TRENDS can never be used to identify individual users because we rely on anonymized, aggregated counts of how often certain search queries occur each week."

Dr. Lyn Finelli, chief of influenza surveillance at the CDC: "One thing we found last year when we validated this model is it tended to predict surveillance data. The data are really, really timely. They were able to tell us on a day-to-day basis the relative direction of flu activity for a given area. They were about a week ahead of us. They could be used... as early warning signal for flu activity."

Eric Schmidt, GOOGLE's chief executive vows: "From a technological perspective, it is the beginning."

That's because illegals with TB work cheap, Americans who might catch the flu do not.

Yes LaRaza we hate - the corporate and political traitors who sell Americans out for a few bucks.

By the way I remember when I flew into Hong Kong airport, you had to go through a body temperature detector, they were trying to catch people who might have the bird flu.

Let's all get online and search for weird diseases like elephantiasis. That should get them going ...

The high school here sent a note home last month that a student had come down with whooping cough.
