Q: What's the purpose of GermTrax?
The short answer: GermTrax is for fun. The long answer: Rather than attempting to pinpoint exactly where and when you got sick, GermTrax uses broader strokes to map all of the places you potentially got sick.
At the local level, this information might illuminate a particularly unhealthy location (for example, if 50 people who were sick with food poisoning all visited the same restaurant, you might not want to eat there tonight). At the global level, GermTrax can help individuals and health agencies discover large-scale sickness trends.
