Health Media Clippings

Hat tip to China Smack, with their post Chinese Hospital Rushed By Patients & Ticket Scalpers:
about 25 seconds into the video you get a glimpse of something you won’t be able to see much elsewhere. You aren’t likely to understand much, but you have people rushing into a hospital to grab tickets to get in line for service. Take note that this isn’t a top tier hospital, at better hospital there are more people and more scalpers.


I’m also linking to Information is Beautiful that has a very nice visualization of swine flu, with their post: Swine Flu Latest: Visualized! Information presented in the right form speeds up communication, and this is a good example of it. Here is a small preview of one map:
