#1 I'm shocked that the bribes didn't happen in LA.

#2 BIG FRICKEN DEAL!!! Out here in Colorado I can walk 15 min in any direction and find a Prairie Dog colony infected with it the Plague. Its very common out here.

Move along, nothing to see here.

#3 I was thinking the same thing, Sam.

Out here in California, we have the plague, Hanta virus, rabies, tularemia(sp?), you name it.

Just the press, again, going off half-cocked, with half a notion in half a brain.

#4 Well, the plague isn't endemic to that part of the East Coast, so this isn't exactly pleasant news. But not exactly a "Black Death Come Again - Populace Despairs, Burns Down Churches & Lynches Nearby Jews" kind of disaster.

#5 YS is correct. His neighbors down in New Mexico maintain the unoffical state motto of "Home of the Flea, Land of the Plague". Usually anywhere up to a dozen cases a year. The advantage is that our medicial people know what it is and recognize it immediately to begin treatment. If caught early enough, the patient can be saved. Now if it gets hold in major city that doesn't recognize it, it could get interesting. Some of our local NM natives made life exciting in NY not too long ago - http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5231a1.htm
