Possible Forum - H1N1 ?

[Anonymous]

Jeff,

Many parents come to DCUM for health information. If H1N1 takes hold / becomes an epidemic it could be useful to have a variety of resources readily available to help out our community.

Any thoughts is possibly creating a Flu Forum? Possibly with sticky posts on the top to some reliable information sources?

I'd be willing to "sticky" a post in General Parenting that lists resources, but an entire forum would probably be overkill. Moreover, I don't think a forum that consists mostly of anonymous posts is the best place to which to turn in a medical emergency. That's particularly true with any topic related to vaccines and children. But, a list of links to reputable sites would be fine.
