Imagine the cool data you could visualize if you had access to this kind of info from Facebook. You trace who had the flu before you and who had it before them, all the way back to patient zero.
Obviously this would be a tremendous privacy violation, so they would never do it, but it would still be interesting.

I haven't used it, so have no idea if it works at all, or well. The flu virus is naturally recombinant among species, so patient zero for a given strain is likely to be a farm pond populated by ducks and pigs, very likely in China.
