RE: Good News for Central NY
Doesn't sound like anyone's accusing those two of doing anything illegal at this time Bill, merely that the paper trail and their memories may be insufficient to trace all possible leads. Doesn't sound to me like they're being treated any less fairly than any other source of a disease that needs to be controlled such as a chicken farm where avian flu were discovered, or a restaurant linked to a hepatitis outbreak.
Personally, I side with you right now and think we know too little at this time to assign any blame. There may be none and the state's controls may even prove to be sufficient to keep this an isolated incident. That would be great, but I'll bet ya there's some puckered orifices down here in PA where our monitoring and paperwork trails appear to be far, far less stringent than yours and far less likely to catch it so early.
