I read Richard Lehman's roundup of the major medical journals nearly every week on doc2doc. He provides the perspective of a wise yet whimsical generalist who's been 'around a while'. One of the papers he reviewed in his January 4th edition was the recently published overview of the Australian swine flu pandemic:

• Bishop JF, Murnane MP, Owen R. Australia's winter with the 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) virus. N Engl J Med. 2009 Dec 31;361(27):2591-4. Epub 2009 Nov 25. PMID: 19940287 (fulltext)
