  Speaker 1: three to two one zero seven ten. You may have
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: heard about the hantavirus. Everybody's talking about hantavirus, any bola, hantavirus,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: any bola. And you know I heard it over the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: weekend a lot of a lot of newscasts, and having
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: been a news anchor for the majority of my career,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: and look, we can't not report a story like that.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: You have to do it, but you have to do
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: it not in headline terroristic fashion. You have to tell
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the whole story. Is hantavirus on the rise right now
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: throughout the country. Yes, here's the part they don't tell
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: you before you get. Nervous virus cases rise every year
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: at this time of the year. Do you know why, Well,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: let me give you a hint how as to how
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: hantavirus gets spread, And then you could probably put two
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and two together the only way to spread handavirus well,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: with one exception actually the very rare type. But ninety
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: nine percent of the time, the way to spread handed
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: virus is with contact with rat droppings and rat urine,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: rat feces, et cetera. So this is springtime, right, This
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: is when we clean up the garage, we clean out
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the attic well. During the cold winter, the rats were
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: nesting and they gave birth to little baby rats and mice.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Right now, So all the built up feces and urine
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: that's dry. Okay, you go to clean out your garage.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: In the corner, you move a box, You say, what
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: is that? And you sweep it up, and all of
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a sudden, dust goes in the air that could be
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: dried urine, dried feces from rats. That's how you can
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: catch it if the rat was infected with handavirusrus. Now
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: it became a newss it. And because in the last
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: month or so, we had a ship that had a
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: bunch of passengers and apparently there were rats on the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: ship and they got the virus from the rats on
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the ship. But normally you do not have to panic
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: about that. And yes, cases are on the rise, but
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the chances of you catching it are slim. And it's
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: not because we're gonna all get attacked by the hand
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: of virus. So I just want people to catch their
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: breath and understand. Yes, it's on the rise. Yes you
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: should be careful if you cleaning out the garage, where gloves,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: where a mask, maybe goggles, take a shower after you
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: clean out the garage, or have a professional do it.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Make sure you disinfect everything. But no, there is no
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: reason to go into panic mode. It's ten thirty two
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: right now, seven to ten WR the Voice of New York.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: We go to our busy phones. Gene and Toms River.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Good morning, Ken.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Just to let you know that I am a fan
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: of yours and I wish you were back on TV
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: or on the radio in in New York area. I

• 4:23
  Speaker 1: there you were working.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know what you had your microphone, but you
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: had it all for the when I spoke to you.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: But I don't remember exactly you know what you were
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: doing there. I was still I had my call being repaired.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: That's why I was on thirty ninth Street. Can like
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: to say something. Sure, I am a New York Mets fan,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: disappointed New York Met fan, but I still miss Kate
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Smith singing God Bless America at the end of the
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: seventh in the Yankee Stadium. I don't know whatever happened.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I know she must have said something when she was
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: young to hurt some people. But I growing up in
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: New York, I'm sure you said and I said something
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: to hurt somebody in anger that we regret. I still
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: miss her voice. I don't like Donald Merril whatever is.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I forgot his name already, but I just wish they
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: would put it back on to sing God Bless America.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: She was. I mean, she was one of the classic
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: voices Broadway voice in a Kate Smith and God Bless Marraga.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: All the old tape recordings of her singing that powerful
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: God Bless America. It seems like we've gotten away from that.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: You notice they don't do a lot of any anything
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: that mentions God. They try to get away from whatever.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: But I'm within and yes, my family are all Mets
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: fans too, so we're suffering the pain right now as well.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe it is a mayor's curse. You believe it's
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: a mayor's curse, cause on.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: This I think so. Well.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Gee, I thank you so much for calling. Let's remember
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the people who sacrifice their lives for us on this
• 6:01
