Pestilence

6 children killed in adenovirus outbreak in New Jersey - UPI
UPI reports: "At least six children died from an adenovirus outbreak at a pediatric medical center in New Jersey, officials confirmed Tuesday. [...] Adenoviruses are a common group of viruses that can cause cold-like symptoms, sore throat, bronchitis, pneumonia, diarrhea and pink eye, and are most common in young children."

Comment: While this is tragic it's also encouraging that the wider population is likely not at risk.
