all over. this is a good site for info
It seemed to have started in New York. but the Southern states do have it worse becasue they do not have the harsh winters to kill of the Mosquitoes

So far as I know, the area with the highest risk is New England and Canada's eastern seaboard. Elsewhere (in the USA), your chances of contracting the virus are nearly zero.

Pretty good if you are suseptable to respratory infections. From what I have heard, small children and the elderly are the most at risk age groups . I live in Louisianna and we have it here too.
