I recall, when I was younger, there were a few cases of some flesh-eating disease in Michigan. And if I recall correctly, even though we live several hours from where it happened, everyone made quite a huge deal.
Now, there is obviously an enviromental problem that may be connected to diseases, and very little is being done. VERY little. If you recall, when that antrax-in-the-mail fiasco went on, they tested the strains and all that stuff, if I remember right. Granted, this flesh-eating-disease thing doesn't seem to be a danger to the public, but it's still a dangerous disease. Health departments around here, in Michigan, go into a frenzy whenever there's an outbreak of any sort of fatal disease, especially of the bacterial persuasion. Look at the way Michigan communities react when there are cases of meningitis in the area.
The lack of attention and concern paid to this whole ordeal in the gulf and to the fishermen who contracted this flesh-eating disease leads me to a conclusion: Someone with some power knows exactly what's going on and is trying to cover it up.
That's all I can really assume. BUt it would make sense, no?
