I actually respect several people that post here regularly. They bring up very valid alternative interpretations of things. That expands my awareness.
BTW, on the same idea, Lake Tahoe has been closed due to Plague being found in rodents. Should we ignore that also?

Not ignore it but understand it and put it in perspective.
Some areas of South Lake Tahoe have been closed because some chipmunks tested positive; the areas are expected to be open by Friday. I did not see where anyone had contracted the plague due to this though I did see mention of someone contracting it last year. As it turns out, there are typically between one and four cases of the plague every year.
Not all of Lake Tahoe is closed, it isn't expected to be closed for long, and it isn't due to infected humans.
So temporary closures due to plague in chipmunks in Lake Tahoe is something to be aware of if you are planning to be in the area but it isn't a life changing event and isn't even a concern for the vast majority of us.
