The *Almost* Zombie Apocalypse: The Plague Ship Part 2 – It happened again!

You might remember the original article about a contaminated crew ship, and it looks like it happened again.  On The Queen Mary 2, several people came down with what the experts are saying is a Norovirus, which has come on strong this flu season.  Hundreds of passengers fell sick.  Most simply self-quarantined, and basically shat their 4,700 dollar ticket far down the toilet.

I think my list requires a serious update:

1.  Pertussis – “Whooping Cough”
2.  Fatal rash caused by staph infection
3.  “Flesh Eating Bacteria”, also a staph infection
4.  The Bubonic Plague
5.  Ebola
6.  Capnocytophaga – Woman lost hands and feet from dog saliva
7.  Untreatable Gonorrhea
8.  Kid died from a brain destroying ameoba, found in a lake
9.  West Nile Virus
10.  Hantavirus
11.  Rabies
12.  Typhus
13.  Legionnaires Disease
14.  New Jersey Superbug
15.  Popcorn Lung
16.  Saudi Arabian SARS
17.  Spinal Meningitis (Caused by fungus)
18.  Brain Eating Amoebas (in Pakistan)
19.  San Quentin Chicken Pox
20.  The Far Rockaway Cough, and the various NY Sandy related diseases
21.  The Excessive Norovirus

This is a pretty intense list for 5 months of serious tracking, and there are still 2 more days left in this year!
