    BOO! We have the plague down in these parts quite regularly. The prairie dogs have it, and people sometimes get bit by fleas. I suppose if it wasn't fly-over country, people would know.

    Yawn, just more media hysteria.

    Uh-oh, in the virus sweepstakes the Chi-Com’s in a sketchy new report are claim yet another “more deadly than Covid-10” virus springing up in next door Kazakhstan. Wars and rumors of wars has transmogrified into viruses and rumors of viruses.
