Estimate disease activity in near real-time for a number of countries and regions around the world. Other Information:
Google Flu & Dengue Trends -- Flu Trends uses aggregated Google search data to estimate disease activity in near real-time
for a number of countries and regions around the world. Some of these estimates have been validated through comparison with
official historic influenza data from the relevant country or region. Google Dengue Trends compares the estimates based on
search data against a historic baseline level of dengue activity for that area. Depending on whether the current estimate
is higher or lower than the baseline, Google Dengue Trends reports the general activity level as Minimal, Low, Moderate, High,
or Intense. Each category has a corresponding color that is displayed under the graph. http://www.google.org/flutrends/
