“If it ain’t plague, fire, hail, or hanta virus it’s some other damn thing.”
You got that right. Someone close to me spent some time working at UNMH. When she went to work at a city hospital in Dallas, she was casually mentioned how they handled plague. Her coworkers all stopped and stared..... “plague?, like in the Black Death?”
New Mexico. Its a hard land. And as Lew Wallace said, ““Every calculation based on experience elsewhere fails in New Mexico.””
New Mexico:
“...O’er the land of the flea and home of the plague.”
I’m in ground zero for plague in the East Mountains, plus I spent 5 days evac’d for the Dog Head Fire. The best plan is to listen to the locals who have been here since the 1600’s. They know what works, even if it’s 180 degrees from “conventional wisdom”.
