The outbreak, involving at least several hundred known cases, has been ongoing since 1999, with cases still occurring in humans and wildlife. It has long puzzled epidemiologists because the fungal subtypes isolated from the vast majority of infected patients resemble subtypes normally seen in Brazil and nearby areas of South America.

Of course it wouldn’t be the first time that we have seen a major stock market crash during the month of October. If I mention “October 1929”, you immediately know what I am referring to, and the same thing is true for October 1987 and October 2008. Today, we are facing a global economic slowdown, an impeachment crisis in Washington and a rapidly escalating trade war simultaneously, and it seems like almost everyone on Wall Street is suddenly talking about “the coming recession”. In such an environment, any piece of bad news is going to push stocks lower, and that is certainly what happened on Wednesday [more]<br /><br />Wall Street plunges on economic worries<br />https://www.yahoo.com/news/wall-street-plunges-economic-worries-203102937.html<br /><br />The Dow lost nearly 500 points Wednesday as the main indexes suffered their sharpest one-day declines in nearly six weeks. Investors grew increasingly concerned about an economic slowdown stemming from the trade war after a report showed hiring by private employers slowed last month. Stocks fell across the board, sending the S&P 500 down 1.8%. It and the Dow fell below key technical levels that could presage further losses.
