Meningitis outbreak

Cheshire's got its second case of meningitis in less than a year. This time though it's at the prison (AP).

If I recall correctly, both cases were "bacterial meningitis." And if that's the case, this must be highly unusual. According to this website, there are only 3,000 such cases per year in the US... 3,000 out of 300,000,000 people or 1 in 100,000. And we've now had 2 in 30,000 people.
