Social mood and rabies

I saw the story about rabies in South Carolina last week and thought it was odd, but possibly an outlier. Now there's another case in Massachusetts; both are suspected bat bites.
South Carolina has first human rabies case in 50 years

Coroner: S.C. woman dies from rabies
South Carolina's last documented rabies case in a person was in Florence County in 1959.
First Human Rabies Case In 75 Years Diagnosed In Mass.

See A Socionomic Study of Epidemic Disease – Parts 1 & 2 for a possible explanation for why these rabies cases hit at the same time.
