The big hysteria causing story in the NYC/NJ news today is the return of the infamous Bubonic Plague. It is currently reported to have been brought to town by a visiting couple from Mexico City. Sorry to let you down, no terrorist ties seem to exist at this point. The plague does not spread from person to person, so it is unlikely this will turn into a bigger problem. It is also extremely unlikely that these two cases could lead to the NYC rat population becoming infected, the primary carriers of the disease.

Between Anthrax and West Nile, it really does not take much to get people in this area on edge...
