I work close to Newark. I am about 12 miles from Newark.

While health experts say the risk to the public is slim to none...

Wasn't it the mice that spread the thing in the first place back in the bad old days?

Damned Pan-Dimensional beings. Always up to something.

If the mice got outside the lab, New Jersey Health Commissioner Fred Jacobs said they would have already died from the disease.

Uh, Oh. These mice may be more than just outside the lab trying to get by on their own. Someone could have them, in fact, could be breeding and infecting other rodents.

They could release them any and everywhere. This thought of mine does not require a tin foil hat to be believed..I think.

Is there a (preventative) vaccine for bubonic plague?

They didn't have antibiotics in the bad old days, and sanitary conditions were somewhat lacking.

This isn't a big deal. Bubonic plague is endemic, and a few people (most commonly in the southwest) contract it every year when bitten by rodents. It is easily treated with antibiotics.

I was just kidding.

And, Newark is a great place for Portuguese Restaurants.

I only had to go once to drop papers off to an attorney in the court house that were left at the firm. I was shocked to know that Newark had motorcycle cops and they rode Harleys.

I am from the country and get pitifully lost in the city. I avoid it as much as possible.
