Don?t know how the locals are reacting at the moment Al because I am currently cruising in the South China Sea. However, on reading posts on the local news it appears to be confined to educational establishments in or around Canterbury which is about 15 miles from me. Meningitis is an infectious disease so my locals are a little bit worried about their children although we no confirmed cases in my town.
