Looks like Idaho is clear.  Good place to be

After living in Georgia for seven years, I have come to appreciated Idaho more each day.  The map is just one more example.

It is weird to me that it shows hepatitis in the middle of nowhere in Nevada. Maybe a brothel in the middle of nowhere???

It's probably Hep A. Sometimes there are outbreaks in the pediatric population. It's spread by fecal oral contact (not washing hands after going to the bathroom, etc). It's very common in developing nations, so if there is a growing immigrant population in Nevada, that might explain that.

It's probably Hep A. It's spread by fecal oral contact.

This is also true in the climing of the corporate ladder from all the butt kissing.
