#1 Dateline New York, 2019

The CDC has traced the recent outbreak of typhus in the city to an airline passenger traveling with a flea-infested capybara as a companion animal on a flight from Long Beach, CA. Mayor De Blasio has announced the creation of a task force to deliver flea powder to all residents of the five boroughs.
