Severe Meningitis Outbreak Concerns New York Officials

Revelation 6:7,8 NCV When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a pale horse. Its rider was named death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill people by war, by starvation, by disease, and by the wild animals of the earth.

An outbreak of meningitis among a part of New York’s population has health officials concerned due ot the severity of the disease.

Officials have confirmed 17 cases of the heavily virulent strain and seven of the infected have died.

“Once you get infected the time from being infected to being horribly sick and possibly dying is very short,” Deputy Health Commissioner Dr. Jay Varma told WCBS. “We’ve had several cases who have been actually found dead in their apartment before they’d even gone to see a medical provider. So that is, to us, absolutely terrifying.”

Dr. Varma said that vaccination against meningitis is the best defense and urged anyone who might be at risk for the disease to get vaccinated.

Signs of meningitis include high fever, headache, stiff neck and a rash that present themselves very quickly. Symptoms usually appear within five days of infection.

  1. This month in the Nigeria town of Jabo, people have died of “meninigitis” left & right.
    Leads me to wonder how this “meningitis” was transferred -via direct contact? -via the food or water? -via close contact? -via a vector such as the mosquito, flea, tic, etc.?

    This meningitis (and Encephalitis) thing has more going on than what is appearing on the surface via the “news”. It just has that feel to it. Let alone the bacterial &/or viral infectious forms, what about the de-myelination forms through vaccination? And what about the fungal attacks / infections?

    I can see that as the physical storms of weather are becoming bigger & thereby stronger in intensity, I can also see the physical storms of disease becoming bigger & thereby stronger in intensity. Yet just as in the days of Noah, all is the same & all are oblivious.
    I see no one building their house / their physical body / their health via the Spirit -the Words of Jesus. Instead, I see the Body flocking to the medical knowledge / doctors so to build their their house.
    ¼ to 1/3 or more of the worlds’ population; just how big a storm is that? (There are always @ least 2 to 3 times more wounded than dead.)

    Because of Jesus,
    JW

    P.S. Matt 7:24-27
    24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
    26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” NKJ

    24 So everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts upon them [obeying them] will be like a sensible (prudent, practical, wise) man who built his house upon the rock.
    25 And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.
    26 And everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not do them will be like a stupid (foolish) man who built his house upon the sand.
    27 And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell—and great and complete was the fall of it. AMP

    24-25 “These words I speak to you are not incidental additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundational words, words to build a life on. If you work these words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who built his house on solid rock. Rain poured down, the river flooded, a tornado hit—but nothing moved that house. It was fixed to the rock.
    26-27 “But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don’t work them into your life, you are like a stupid carpenter who built his house on the sandy beach. When a storm rolled in and the waves came up, it collapsed like a house of cards.” the MESSAGE
