Outbreak map...are we under attack ?

Yep... or, perhaps we do a better job of reporting and recording episodes?

A little bit of both?

I got an app called "Bugs and Drugs" which tracks infectious disease nearby.  It says there are 990 infections within 125 miles of my location.  538 of them are E. coli. 127 are staph. The app also recommends drugs that best fight the infection.

Did it say anything about Chikungunga or Dengue? They have been found in Escambia County.

T, I'm sure you noticed the lack of incidents of any kind in Alaska. I am feeling pretty good about my move up here about now, lol.

yeah I would rather take my chances with the bears than some virus...at least you can see the bear.

Yes, it shows the case of Chikungunya in Escambia.

No kidding... I agree. Some of the office guys at work are freaked out because a brown bear killed and ate a mooseat their favorite golf course. I was like, "Uhh, are you really surprised?? Your golf course is in the middle of bear and moose habitat."

T, I think you will like this interactive map that shows American migration patterns:

Migration ?..LOL looks like everyone is dead in my home state of West Virginia...

Dang, you're right... no one in WV is going anywhere. A little movement in Monongalia County, but I'm sure that's because WVU is there.

Id be very worried. I hear if a infected one bites you on the forehead you become a zombie much quicker.
