If this were true, as radiation would disipate as it moved eastward (maybe by the square of the distance or the cube) then we should have well over 1 million deaths in Japan and islands like Guam, Samoa, and others should have had 5-10% of their populations wiped out.
That is what first came to my mind when I saw the head line. That and I snorted Dr Pepper through my nose (ouch) because it was so unbelievable.
I knew before opening the story it was complete BS. I would have read about 10 times that dead or dying in Japan.
Good info. Thanks.
