Well I couldn’t find any city by city data but as I did a search on Twitter I found that the CoCo County has a profile just for the Health Services Dept.
Sometimes I am surprised at the adoption of social media by government. I see some of the websites in the county and other media outlets but I wouldn’t have expected the Contra Costa County to have a Twitter account. Good for you CoCo County!
The Contra Costa Healt Department has a site set up specificaly addressing the H1N1 virus. The Director Dr. Walker even created a podcast addressing the H1N1 virus.

At least in my case they said no need to come in. And, luckily he is getting better, etc.
