Gosh. So....you're saying that there has been no increases, and if there were they wouldn't matter anyways.

FLU
Influenza spreads around the world in seasonal epidemics, resulting in the deaths of between 250,000 and 500,000 people every year,[9] up to millions in some pandemic years. On average 41,400 people died each year in the United States between 1979 and 2001 from influenza.[10]

The World Health Organization said Friday that 2,837 people have been reported as swine flu fatalities, as H1N1 ebbs and flows in various parts of the world.
There is NO SAFE AMOUNT OF RADIATION.
It wouldn't even be inaccurate to say that seasonal flu kills more people in a year than swine flu has in any of the breakouts.
1
The 1918 flu pandemic (the Spanish Flu) was an influenza pandemic, and the first of the two pandemics involving H1N1 influenza virus (the follow-up was the 2009 flu pandemic). It was an unusually severe and deadly pandemic that spread across the world.

Swine influenza virus (SIV) or S-OIV (swine-origin influenza virus) is any strain of the influenza family of viruses that is endemic in pigs.[2] As of 2009, the known SIV strains include influenza C and the subtypes of influenza A known as H1N1, H1N2, H3N1, H3N2, and H2N3.

Solar radiation is the same as Iodine, Cesium, Strontium, etc.

There are major problems with this Fukushima thing. Reporting on it seems important, but then again, there really isn't anything that anybody can do about it, so what's the point? I suppose people in Japan, and on the West Coast could decide to not get pregnant for awhile, that might delay the affects? They cannot contain the radiation, it is going to travel the world regardless of our actions. It will add to the other toxic things we already breath and ingest. I don't have the statistics in front of me, but premature births and infant deaths have been on the rise for about a decade already! Here in Florida, we are the worst in the nation!
I am mad at the press for not doing their jobs, but then again, there is really nothing any of us can do about this disaster, we just have to ride it out and hope mother nature somehow corrects it.
We still haven't see the full effects of the BP Oil spill yet! It will take a full decade before the statistics support what most of us already suspect. Now we can say the same for the Japanese disaster. 10 or 20 years from now it will be so clear in hindsight.
I swear to God, I don't understand the urge to put these things on the WORST possible places.

Sorry to be off topic for just a sec.....
Hey Aeons, my great uncle was also a Capone croney/assasin! He tried to escape and hide but they eventually caught up to him and let's just say the gas transport truck he was driving for a living 'accidentally' blew up with him in it.
Any chance we are related? All of my family is from Illinois although like you I am long distanced from them since youth.
ON TOPIC - We were living on the west coast until a month ago and I could just not stand knowing that my children were being radiated every day of their lives so we moved far away to escape the population control plan.
I just hope we got far enough away, I'm not sure any place in the world is going to be safe enough from this unprecedented catastrophe.

Citation?
Because if this statement were true, I would have died(Been unsafe?) earlier by walking out into the beautiful sunny weather my area is having today.

Do you have a source for a single one of those claims? Especially the weapons program.

The hate I have for the arrogant gorilla brained "leaders" of business and government over this issue is deep. This industry has proven they cannot be trusted in anyway to regulate themselves.
Why is that? Nuclear energy is among the safest for our environment. There's only been a handful of accidents, you better believe they were surrounded by scaremongering! Why don't we hold coal plants to the same standards?

Brought to you by the brilliant engineers at General Electric. Why don't we make them pay taxes, again?
