The Fukushima Disaster -- Some Interesting Information
Recombinomics notes:
Meanwhile, anyone in the U.S. presently obsessing over fallout from Japan's reactors may find the following sites of interest -- Radiation Network and the Online Geiger Counter Nuclear Radiation Detector Map. These maps both use volunteer Geiger-counter readings from across America, but are regularly updated.
The radiation released at the Daiichi plant is forecast to go east to the Aleutian Island, and the back over Russia, China, and Korea, where H5N1 is circulating in wild birds. Exposure of H5N1 to ionizing radiation can lead to rapid genetic change, which may increase the ability of H5N1 to transmit in humans.I do not know if Recombinomics is correct in its assessment, but it seemed like something to be aware of.
Moreover, the earthquake and tsunami have led to overcrowding conditions in displaced persons, which would also favor viral spread.
