So dumb.

Dumb is a panic run on iodine pills in the US and Canada. Potassium iodide can be dangerous if taken incorrectly, so I'm just calling it natural selection.

A lot of pharmacies have run out of iodide here.

Compare that panic to the people who may actually have a need, the Japanese. Quite embarrassing.

So according to DFAT, Tokyo is now as dangerous to in be as:

Afghanistan
Bahrain
Burundi
Central African Republic
Chad
Côte d'Ivoire
Guinea
Iraq
Libya
Niger
Somalia
Sudan
Yemen

And more dangerous than Mexico. And Iran.

Sigh.

If there were a dramatic increase anywhere on the planet there would be cause for concern. Not sure it warrants an evac, but a trend is relative.

Water cannons began spraying jets of water into the Unit 3 reactor after initially being forced back by high radiation levels.

A spokesman for the Tokyo Electric Power Company told Japan news agency NHK that "it appears the mission was successful," while a spokesman for the Nuclear And Industrial Safety Agency says the water cannons failed in their attempt to cool the unit when the water failed to reach its target from safe distances.

The choppers dumped at least four loads on the reactor in just the first 10 minutes, though television footage showed much of it appearing to disperse in the wind.

what a clusterfuck.

So workers at the Danish embassy in Tokyo are relocating to the general consulate in Hiroshima in search of shelter from a nuclear disaster.

Seriously?!

The side effects of iodine for you guys are going to be a lot worse than the pipsqueak radiation itself.

Yeah this could cause a major health issue because of people being twits. Natural selection, as Kmar said, I guess.

I'm sure they're not all chemists. If I heard there was a radiation leak and somebody told me I could take these pills to be alright I would probably take them. However, the fact that whatever European country was doing that was retarded, they're how many thousand miles away?

Yes you only take them if you NEED to.

Exactly, but if you don't know you don't need to, because you're not very well educated on radiation and stuff, and people start handing pills out saying you need them for your protection, you would think quite a few people would buy the idea.

Yeah I think the problem here is tards from the internet just taking them 'cus they've played Stalker and shit and it will protect them from the impending post apocalyptic zone. The people who need them will be the only ones who are actually "issued" with them.

That's true, but geez it's daft. They're putting themselves at huge risk of thyroid problems which has all kinds of nasty consequences.

Ironically one of the main treatments of the kinds of thyroid diseases they're at risk of is also iodine... 131.

Well the media wants the situation to be as bad as it can be, so it will always hype up the worst case scenario. Bad news is good news.
