USA Influenza Activity 2001-2002 - Part 2 Return to Part 1 On the following three charts, the horizontal bars represent flu histories for geographical areas around the country which are identified by Postal Zip Codes. A Microsoft™ Excel™ Spreadsheet (423 Kilobytes) was used to keep track of the daily changes in activity. On the graphs below states are placed in the chronological order of their "appearance" on FluWatch.com. For each state the "stacking" (by zipcodes) is earliest on bottom - latest on top. The reason that the unexplained school rashes (which have occurred in 14 states, beginning in October 2001) are being noted on the influenza histories is because, in the opinion of the author, the rash outbreaks may be related to a new kind of influenza or influenza-like-illness. See the non-prediction prediction about that possibility in the beginning section of the Global Developments - Spring-Summer 2001 page. Yellow asterisks mark the approximate dates that the new influenza A(H1N2) strain has been identified in states in the continental United States. The following index shows where to locate state info in the graphs. The two numbers listed after each state name represent the applicable graph, 1,2 or 3, followed that state's position on the graph.
