If the mice got outside the lab, they would have already died from the disease, state Health Commissioner Fred Jacobs said.

One can only hope they died before sharing.

mouse to cat, cat to human, is that scenario that far fetched?

I was watching Fox & Friends this morning and they were talking about this situation, and E.D. was talking about the potential terrorism aspect of these mice falling into the wrong hands, and Steve Doocy asked some talking head physician, in a serious tone, "Do you think that the Department of Homeland Security should deploy a team of specially trained cats to the area to hunt down these mice?" It was sooooo funny!

What's to funny about that? There are several "survivor" or "evacuee" cats from New Orleans looking for work. Sounds like a fit to me.

Pretty mcuh.. not many cross-species diseases out there.. Unless of course you are talking about EATING the cat.. then all bets are off!

Sorry, I was told that Bubonic Plague was the only thing that would kill what I have in my shorts.

Did any and all fleas that might have tasted these mice die too? That is after all the major means of spreading this disease.
