Hooray! After a woman in Los Angeles was admitted with the Bubonic Plague late last month, the state of Utah decided to get in on the action and infect some field mice and squirrels in a campground, thus turning themselves into Europe of the late 1700s."We come down on the conservative side when it comes to closing campgrounds," said Joe Winkelmaier of the U.S. Public Health Service. "We just like to be sure when it comes to plague."
Oh yes, of course. Wouldn't want you to have to close your precious park for something as tiny as typhoid or rubella. Plague's where they draw that line though.
