It's Flu Survey time!

For the last few years, in the winter, Influenzanet have been running a flu survey. If you sign up they email you a link once a week to an influenza-like symptom survey, which helps track the spread of flu geographically and by demographic, and send you little reports on flu action in your area. A couple of years ago they included means of transport as well, but concluded that public transport is not much of an influence. If you want to help out this year you can register at http://flusurvey.org.uk

If you sign up and enter my Flusurvey username (bugshaw) I have a very small chance of winning a tablet (not a cold&flu tablet) or a cuddly virus. I have more chance of getting flu.

EDIT: This is a UK-based survey.

But is this only for potential sufferers in the UK. Don't imagine they;d have much use for symptomology from Estonia.

Sorry, I have edited the entry to make it clear.

At https://www.influenzanet.eu/ they have 10 European countries (including Denmark and Sweden) and are hoping to expand.

Too flattened by actual flu to do surveys at the moment. But might give it a go when its over!

No problem. Maybe by next year.
