From what I've heard and seen, dying of rabies has to be one of the worst possible ways a human can go.
Though it has a lower mortality rate (rabies is a slate cleaner) - the tetanus end-game looks pretty rough as well. Vaccines FTW.
What is this doing on the front page?
> a rare case of rabies in a dog within the City of Chicago. This is the first rabies-positive dog identified in Cook County since before 1964
Rabies is quite rare in dogs in the USA. And breakthrough rabies in a previously vaccinated animal is exceptional.
Unusual behaviour from infectious diseases often gets attention on HN.
