I like to turn coincidence into convergence whenever possible. This weekend, a user of [cdcfluview](http://github.com/hrbrmstr/cdcfluview) had a question that caused me to notice a difference in behaviour between the package was interacting with CDC FluView API, so I updated the package to accommodate the change and the user.
Around the same time, @recology_ tweeted:
we're at 6983 #rstats pkgs https://t.co/4i6dWF103I – quick, someone submit 17 more so we can hit 7K
— Scott Chamberlain (@recology_) August 9, 2015
Finally, the [2015-2016 flu season](http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/season/flu-season-2015-2016.htm) is also fast approaching (so a three-fer!), making a CRAN leap for `cdcfluview` quite timely.
Since I can’t let @quonimous have all the `#rstats` fun & glory, I added a function and two data sets to `cdcfluview`, did the CRAN dance and it’s now [on CRAN](https://cran.rstudio.com/web/packages/cdcfluview/). I also did the github dance to have it’s entry in the [Web Technologies Task View](https://cran.rstudio.com/web/views/WebTechnologies.html) updated.
The new function lets you grab the XML behind the high-level [Weekly US Map: Influenza Summary Update](http://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/usmap.htm) (I’ll be adding a function to make a similar plot that won’t require gosh-awful Flash) and the data sets provide metadata about the composition of HHS regions and Census regions, making it easier to compose factors, add labels to maps or even segment maps/combine polygons. The existing two grab current & historical detailed national & state influenza data.
