CDC: 25 states, including Va., reporting widespread flu | WTVR.com:

"The number of states reporting widespread seasonal flu activity jumped from 10 to 25 last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday.

Widespread activity was reported in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington state and Wyoming, according to the CDC’s weekly flu advisory report, covering the week ending December 28.

“Widespread” means that more than 50% of geographic regions in a state — counties, for example — are reporting flu activity. It addresses the spread of the flu, not its severity."

Here's a better set of webpages that offer information about possible nuclear radiation reaching the United States.

Joint EPA/FDA Statement: Update on Ongoing Monitoring - on steps taken to increase the level of nationwide monitoring of milk, precipitation, drinking water, and other potential exposure routes.

US Radiation Map For Average Citizens

Image via Wikipedia

Given recent events, my eye is drawn to anything nuclear or radiation-related.

I stumbled across the Radiation Network's National Radiation Map that depicts environmental radiation levels across the United States. The map also shows locations of nuclear sites.

Interesting stuff, and be aware of the disclaimer:

The operator of this web site, can not independently verify that the Radiation Levels, or any Radiation Alerts, that are displayed on this Radiation Map are correct and valid.  Among other possibilities, Geiger counter malfunctions or proximity of the counters to certain medical procedures or to radioactive items can cause high readings at a Monitoring Station.
