Please note, due to changes in the team which created this app, it will not be updated after March 2025.

If anyone wishes to create a version for future winters then please take the code at: https://github.com/MLCSU/NationalFlu and host it elsewhere.

So long, and thanks for all the fish. Andy McCann
