Quick note..Health Alert..Eastern Equine Encephalitis

A 3rd case of eastern equine encephalitis [EEE] in a horse, this time near
Reddick, was reported in Marion County this week [week of 9 Aug 2010]. It
is the 2nd case in less than a month and caused the county health
department to issue a notice to advise residents of the risk.

Though rare in humans, EEE can be transmitted through mosquito bites.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the infection
affects a small number of humans every year, mostly in the Atlantic and
Gulf Coast states. Most of those affected have no symptoms, but in severe
cases headache, high fever, chills, and vomiting are common. Severe cases
can be fatal.

Economic warning of things to come?

The City of East St. Louis has laid off 30% of it's police force and defaulted on bond payments, or in government speak, has deferred payment. Concerns now arise that crime will now run rampant.

"It’s open field day now," said Tracy, the pastor of Straightway Baptist Church here. "The criminals are going to run wild."
Gang activity. Drug dealing. Cold-blooded killing. Tracy worries that a decision to shrink the police force by almost 30 percent will bring more of everything.

Additionally a town in Greece has also defaulted....are these initial signals the economic maneuverings of governments is failing?

An article addressing both looks at the economic band aides and the result.

Though both areas far away from us Floridians, this might give us advance warning of more dire things to come close by. Cities, towns and counties may decide to reduce or even stop certain safety services, this has already happened in several areas around the country.

Stay vigilant!
