A Second rabid raccoon has been identified in Manhattan, reported the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) on August 28, 2009.1 “Stay away from raccoons, skunks, bats, stray dogs and cats and other wild animals that can carry rabies; 12 rabid animals have been identified in NYC this year. Eight were found in the Bronx, two in Manhattan (most recently in Central Park), one in Queens (Long Island City) and one in Staten Island (Tottenville). Raccoons are rare in Queens and Manhattan though bats with rabies have been found in all five boroughs. People and unvaccinated animals can get rabies, most often through a bite from an infected animal. Infection leads to a severe brain disease that causes death unless the person is treated promptly after being bitten. For more information on protecting yourself, your family and your pets visit www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/vet/vet5.shtml.

“Swine flu could infect up to half of the US population hospitalizing up to 1.8 million people and causing as many as 90,000 deaths -- more than double the number that occur in an average flu season,” according to the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology and reported by The Washington Post.2 “Although most of the cases probably would be mild, up to 300,000 people could require intensive care, which could tie up all those beds in some parts of the country at the peak of the outbreak, the council said."
