Influenza in Holland

The following animation starts at February 10, 2007 and ends at March 2, 2007. It presents the spread of the Influenza virus in Holland. Every frame is one day. I've seen a better animation of whole Europe in which it was more clear how the virus spread, but I can't find it.
Influenza % over time in Holland:
The influenza virus is more serious than the common cold. 30% have the common cold at the moment. You can find the common cold graph here. This probably explains mr wiggles pain in his body: "they(influenza infected) have aches and pains throughout the body, most pronounced in the back and legs."

teh secret labeler strikes again ;)
Pretty shocking that the average percentage of people who have the common cold at any one time is ~27%
Imagine all the time wasted by having the cold. Bring us a cure already!

Lets write a letter to Pfizer! Lazy people can't even find a cure for a simple cold.

After seeing the result page of the poll, I'm going to have to change my vote into "Fuck Off!!" although I can't.

Hahaha, google ads? :)

Our blog is visited by around 10 foreign people every day now. Not all to the liquid metal post. We probably come up higher in google because of the liquid metal post popularity.

But you must agree that the ads on the results page are a bit excessive. Why can't it show the results like a normal poll, right on out main page without opening a new window?

Why don't you try this one?

Good post!

Is this pole better?

Isn't there a way we could comment on the poll? Otherwise I'd vote against polling.

You could just embed the poll into a standard post. Then it would slowly move down the page and you could comment on it.
