There is an alert in Pennsylvania, Kentucky,and Maryland for rabies. If memory serves, the areas described in the bulletin are somewhat contiguous,and generally semi-rural.
Follow the “wilderness” areas a/k/a National Wildlife Refuges. You will see that National Wildlife Refuges should be renamed as National Rabies and Mosquito Borne Illnesses Refuges. The environmental activists have created a protected zone in which diseases that can kill humans are allowed to flourish. Look for that refuges to become vectors for the N1H1 virus if that virus makes a comeback.
So were Keith Olbermann or Janeane Garafalo in those states recently?

Always wondered what that meant , so I checked the “Urban Dictionary”:
“BTT 4 thumbs up
stands for Bikini Training Time. The period before the summer when women try to diet and slim down so they look good in their bikinis.
Allison had put on a lot of weight during the winter, so she had to do some BTT.”
(Yes, I do know it moves the post up. Really. :) )
A couple of years back we in lower Michigan had a bad breakout of rabies. I never knew until then that horses and cows also get it...In my county they had to put down one of each, lots of rabies carriers out there, coon, fox, bats, etc...
If memory serves, house cats can be carriers too.
Nasty !
(Not the cats: the disease !)
Yeap, and living in the country lots of stupid people just drive out of the city and dump the pets they no longer want...so there is lots of feral cats around...
Oh, great !!!
