Bubonic plague mice missing from lab in New Jersey

From the NY Daily News

Authorities are searching for three mice infected with bubonic plague that disappeared from a research laboratory about two weeks ago.

While health experts say the risk to the public is slim to none, the incident highlights ongoing security failures at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.
Yeah, risk to the public is slim because, you know, it's not like mice can transmit the plague to an entire population, killing a third of a continent or anything.
