Get the fever... Yellow Fever.

[clayhornik]

As far as fatal diseases are concerned, Ebola's my all time favourite. But as a native of Norfolk, Virginia, Yellow Fever has a warm fuzzy place in my heart. A hundred and fifty years ago, it wiped out a third of the population here. In celebration of the anniversary, The Virginia-Pilot is running a two week long feature on it: Tales of the Fever.
There's a mass grave of the victims a few minutes walk from here... prime real estate on Hampton Blvd. It's now a park.
