them while planning two free vaccine clinics this week. the symptoms are similar to the flu, sudden fever, head ache, stiff neck and sometimes vomiting an confusion. but this can develop into septicemia which brings fatigue, rapid breathing and dpark purple or red rash. at this point there are only two confirmed cases but it's possible that people aren't showing symptoms yet because that can take three to five days or ten days at maximum. it's spread person to person mainly through contact with saliva, so coughing and kissing. this is a serious concern because if untreated people, about 50% of cases are deadly. and even treated about 5% to 10% of people will die within 24 to 48 hours. santa clara, kris sanchez "today in the bay." a deadly crash closed a closure on an east bay freeway,
