Default CWD found in more NY deer

I just received my June copy of the New Jersey Federated Sportsmen and it says there was more CWD found in Oneida county NY! This time it was in wild deer unlike the last time were it was in a captive herd. Man, this is not good! I talked to a warden from Wisconson on a recent caribou trip and he works and patrols in the erradication zone. He told me it is pretty bad where he is from and said he hopes that it never spreads east because of the high deer per square miles in Jersey and PA and said it would really do a number on our deer pop. Sadley it looks like it may just happen after all since they found it in the wild deer in NY within the last couple weeks. The thing that really upsets me is that I think (my opinion only) that it may have been spread through the buying and selling of game farm animals. Here in Jersey there is only one high fence operation unlike PA and NY which have many. I have hunted one in PA and those farm buy sell and trade all the time with each other. CWD can have a long period where a deer will be infected and it could take awhile for the deer to show signs of it which can make it harder to tell. What do you guys think about all this???
