Maybe I missed something in the logistics of this story, but what do Yuma and Mesa Cardon Hospital (bo0th AZ) have to do with California stating they have a 910-case epidemic? Does Arizona have an epidemic? Or with the California Boycotters of all things Arizona, do they want to make sure Arizona doesn't get the epidemic business, too? [beam] Fine by me!!
