Friends with Flus

Analyze your network and find out how the flu could spread to you and your friends. Friends with Flus looks at your Facebook friends list and the connections between your friends, then lets you select friends you are likely to see in person. It also suggests you select family members, and friends that you are tagged in at least one photo with, since these are people you likely see in person. Simulate the flu, testing out what happens when different friends are vaccinated. You'll find some friends can spread the flu to many more than others. If you identify these popular people, share your results and the latest CDC information with them to encourage them to get vaccinated. Datasets used: Influenza Vaccination Estimates, RSS Feed of Influenza updates, RSS Feed of Influenza podcasts
