Already 103 people have died in Mexico, if you’re cautious about this outbreak and want to keep track of the spread of this possible pandemic, the below is a quick legend to looking at the Swine Flu tracking map on Google.
The different colour on the map indicate the following:

- Yellow markers are negative

I particulary like the fact that you can import both timeline and heatmap as iGoogle gadget.
