Funny, I've been wondering when that little bug was going to surface again. Interesting that it sprung up in a relatively secluded island nation which would be comparatively easy to quarantine. If that hit in the slums of India or Brazil...CDC would be losing their shit right now.
Speaking of the CDC, nothing about the outbreak on their website right now. Neither in the news or outbreak sections. I also checked the travel section and the plague does not show up on the radar as a disease with a history in that nation.
