Navajo Nation calls focus on other health concerns
The Navajo Nation seeks to divert attention from the mystery hantavirus like illness that has caused 16 deaths in the Four Corners area and to highlight long standing health problems tied to the Bennett Freeze on a 15 million acre region west of Tuba City. Spokesman Duane Bayal from Window Rock says the illness pales beside chronic conditions and lack of development. CDC in Atlanta confirms 16th death under investigation amid 30 total cases nationwide with concerns rising.
