rabies?

the cops drove by, only lights on. they drove by slowly. they were shouting something over the megaphones

"STAY IN YOUR HOMES, DO NOT BE ALARMED, STAY IN YOUR HOMES..."
I don't understand. I turned on the news and it's telling me to not be alarmed, that there is a small rabies outbreak. It listed some generic symptoms and then said to keep away, report to the authorities, blah blah.
Normally, I really wouldn't care too much, but then I thought about Beth.
She looked like complete shit, and the way she was all day, and how she bit the old lady (our boss) at work. Then there was Charlie.
Could she have the rabies?
Nah, couldn't be.
