Why then does the flu hit the south just as bad as the north, see this map. Hit this FLU MAP this is the current map (which is incredible in itself since this is already worse than most flu seasons and they don't even usually start updating this map until November as the flu really kicks in during Jan/Feb). But back to the main point, why are southern states which gets tons of sun year round being hit hard?

You ask a good question.
I’ll ask Cannell and see if he answers.

Perhaps this review article by Cannell and colleague might answer your question. The authors state that latitude is only one of many factors affecting vitamin D creation, and that vitamin D deficiency is common in Miami.
