True - lately the numbers have been ticking down from the 90's and the 80's. I used the 10 - 20 cases figure as a watermark for the posters that react with the heebie jeebies when they hear about a disease they know nothing about. And yes - "heebie jeebie" is a scientific term ( smirk )!

LOL

I actually met her once. She didn't seem any more tightly-wrapped in person than she does in front of a camera!

Your story is similar to one my dad told me. He's a locksmith and had to change the locks on a house that had been re-po'd by the bank. The cops had to be there with him when he jimmied the locks and they were all covered in fleas afterwards. He said it was absolutely horrible.

Bug bombs by comparison to ER hospital bills (for the plague) or doctor office visits are a LOT cheaper! ;-)

Isn't uncontrolled, unfettered massive immigration from the Third World just absolutely wonderful?

We can eventually look forward to outbreaks of tuberculosis, smallpox, and the whole nine yards.

It will not enter the national debate as long as intelligent people are debating.

You are correct, my two neighbors that are both nurses and confronting the problem of diseases among the illegal immigrant community are wrong.

So glad to have run into such an intellegent person here on FR.

Not to worry as I am pretty sure I heard somewhere JACK

BAUER is already working this case.

Another person who can't read.

I know it doesn't fit in with your little template but Bubonic Plague has been in the USA since the days when we were the third world country.

[jpl]

Oh great, another dumbass sheep who believes everything he reads in the press reports without thinking.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Yes, you are aren't you.

Try picking up a history book at some point. You can learn all sorts of interesting things. Like there was a Bubonic Plague outbreak in San Francisco in 1900.
