[Maybe Comrade Barack will stop by to pay NYC a visit?
"Digital apps"? Could that possibly be something called 'Grinder'?
Nature seems to kindee have a bias against gay men the same way 1930's Europe had a bias against the Jews. That thin walled rectal epithelium will do it to ya every time.]
"It is a variant of a disease that can go from a fever and headache to a galloping rash and then to death within hours so quickly that some victims have been found dead in bed before they could even get to a doctor. Over the last two years, it has appeared only among men, and they often got it, health officials say, through anonymous sexual encounters with other men found through Internet chat rooms or digital apps or at parties, making it all but impossible to trace the path of infection.
It is a unique strain of bacterial meningitis, so new it has not even been named, and it is particularly lethal killing one out of three people instead of the one out of five who succumb to other strains of meningitis.
New York City health officials are growing increasingly worried that this strain of meningitis, which is an inflammation of the lining around the brain and the spinal cord, is so insidious that it could suddenly mushroom into a major outbreak, claiming many lives before anything can be done to stop it.
Its been sort of marching through the community in a way that makes us very scared, Dr. Jay Varma, the deputy commissioner for disease control at the citys health department, said on Thursday.
The department issued a warning this month recommending the standard meningitis vaccination for a particular subset of the population: men, regardless of H.I.V. status, who regularly have intimate contact with other men through a Web site, digital application or at a bar or party.
