This wide variability between locales in the United States demonstrates that influenza is a local disease that is spread widely by poorly characterised vectors. Severity, concentration and transmission speed frequently vary beyond the expectations of current models by a multiple of 10.

Expect geographically-focused flashfires around the United States of High Intensity genetics creating severe clinical outcomes.
