The Corpus Callosum is an occasional journal of armchair musings, by a suburban, reality-based, slightly-left-of-center guy, who reserves the right to be highly irregular at times. Topics: social commentary, neuroscience, politics, science news. Mission: to develop connections between hard science and social science, using linear thinking and intuition; and to explore the relative merits of spontaneity vs. strategy.
Corpus Callosum is written by a psychiatrist at a small community hospital somewhere in the USA. Email to cc.scienceblogger at gmail dot com.

I'd take the reports on this map with a grain of salt. It reports 'confirmed' swine flu in NZ. We only have confirmed Influenza A at this point, no confirmation on whether or not we have the new strain. That will come from testing in Melbourne within the next day or two.
