Just to take a quick pause from the budget crazyiness. I thought I might share with you all that in 2009 (the latest data available) the Lyme Disease count and rate in Ulster County has surpassed Dutchess. In 2009 we held the second highest in New York State. These are probable (2 or more symptoms plus treatment) or confirmed cases only.
Dutchess: 413 cases for a rate of 1.5 per 1,000 people
Ulster: 582 cases for a rate of 3.5 per 1,000 people.
We finally beat out Dutchess for something. Yeah?
we beat dutchess out on all sorts of thangs. did you not see the CRREO regional well-being report? ;)
