Public health officials have linked two deaths in Utah to hantavirus in the past month, an unusually high rate for the rodent-borne disease that isn’t always fatal.
The two victims — one in Millard County and another in Salt Lake County — had been exposed to rodents in the two to three weeks prior to their deaths, according to Utah Department of Health epidemiologist JoDee Baker.
“We get maybe one case a year,” Baker said Tuesday. “It’s unusual to see two fatalities so early in the summer.”

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
