That’s the name of a “crowdsourcing” Web site, whoissick.org. It’s a work in progress, so slow, but go try it. You type in a zip code and you find out the symptoms of people in your neighborhood.

He wouldn’t have bothered if he knew what was going around.

And the ease with which we can now try to channel large numbers of voluntary, amateur observations into widely useful knowledge.
