If TSHTF I could easily see NYC residents hitting that park for meals, eating anything that moves, which will now include animals carrying Rabies.
I live in a rural area that got hit hard by Rabies a few years ago. So hard that the health dept and ODNR had a rabies task force van permanently parked at the township road dept parking lot for over a year.
We used to have old timers from West Virginia up here hunting raccoons and fox but won't now because of the Rabies, which is still prevalent and continues to spread to other towns towards Cleveland. This is despite the heavily implemented vaccination program, distributed from planes and on foot; the same that the article thinks will work.
In October a co-worker woke to find a raccoon on her kitchen counter eating a loaf of bread. It tore out the window screen to get in. She shooed it out with a broom and we doubt it was rabid, but still!
Has anyone given this consideration while proceeding to their SS lifestyle goals? My area has been forced to tread carefully, because we're already there.
