Rabbit virus detected for first time in SC | Greenville Health
Rabbits at a homestead in Greenville County tested positive for a hemorrhagic virus not seen before in South Carolina.
A release from Clemson University emphasized that Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus Type-2 (RHDV2) posed no danger to humans but has a high fatality rate among both domesticated and wild rabbits.
Clemson’s Veterinary Diagnostic Center tested the rabbits in its Columbia lab. It was alerted to the problem after several feral rabbits suddenly died at a single location in Greenville County. The remaining rabbits in the area were quarantined to avoid further spread.
The mortality rate in rabbits with the disease is about 70 percent, according to Michael Neault, state veterinarian and director of Clemson’s Livestock Poultry Health.
“Our goal at this point is to prevent the virus from spreading into the wild rabbit population and potentially further infecting domesticated rabbits,” Neault said in the release.
The virus is endemic in the western U.S., with symptoms that can include sudden death, anorexia, lethargy and blood around the nose and mouth. More information about the virus can be found at www.clemson.edu/public/lph/ahp/species/rabbit.html. The test for RHDV2 can’t be performed on live rabbits.
Rabbit owners suspecting the presence of the virus are urged to contact a veterinarian. For issues with wild rabbits, contact the state Department of Natural Resources at 803-734-3940 or hookm@dnr.sc.gov.

Greenville Super Regional Live Updates: Texas vs. East Carolina
— The home runs by Campbell and Hodo on Saturday made them the sixth and seventh Longhorns to reach double-digit home runs on the season. The offensive surge on the Forty Acres, Pierce said, boils down to “just passing the bat, getting pitches, not trying to do too much and using their strength and conditioning, using their work in the cages and just trusting.”
Texas unquestionably has pop throughout the lineup, but every significant hit down the stretch of Saturday’s game going to right field for right-handed hitters speaks to how good the team’s approach is at the plate and to the adjustments made throughout the series.
“We’re just seeing it where it’s pitched,” Campbell said. “Some of their guys on their staff like to go away, so we’re just taking it where it was pitched.”
BATTING ORDER
Texas: 1. Douglas Hodo III, Soph., CF (.316/.409/.533); 2. Eric Kennedy, Jr., LF (.308/.395/.491) ; 3. Ivan Melendez, Jr., 1B (.398/.518/.866); 4. Murphy Stehly, Sr., 2B (.376/.431/.680); 5. Austin Todd, Sr., DH (.337/.419/.497); 6. Skyler Messinger (.367/.419/.574); 7. Silas Ardoin, Soph., C (.276/.399/.518); 8. Dylan Campbell, Soph., RF (.271/.369/.512); 9. Trey Faltine, Soph., SS (.283/.396/.552)
— Pierce keeps the lineup the same for the second game in a row. Stehly at second base and Campbell in right field mean Mitchell Daly (.238/.349/.369) will come off of the bench, most likely to come in for defensive purposes at second if the Longhorns get a lead in the late innings.
East Carolina: 1. Zach Agnos, Soph., SS (.326/.398/.477); 2. Lane Hoover, Jr., LF (.343/.426/.418); 3. Bryson Worrell, Sr., CF (.338/.403/.638); 4. Jacob Jenkins-Cowart, Fr., RF (.330/.369/.552); 5. Ben Newton, Sr., C (.283/.387/.362); 6. Josh Moylan, Soph., 1B (.219/.355/.417); 7. Jacob Starling, Soph., 2B (.248/.386/.411); 8. Alec Makarewicz, Soph., 3B (.273/.350/.469); 9. Joey Berini, Soph., DH (.245/.321/.265)
— Godwin’s only lineup change is Berini at the designated hitter spot for Justin Wilcoxen (.276/.327/.398). A change could be made if Godwin gets a matchup with the left-handed Wilcoxen facing Texas freshman southpaw Luke Harrison (0-0, 3.24 ERA with two saves), the only left-handed reliever for the Longhorns (and the only lefty pitcher other than No. 2 starter Lucas Gordon on the postseason roster).
PITCHING MATCHUP
Texas: Tristan Stevens, Sr., RHP (6-6, 5.16 ERA, 75 innings, 83 hits and 20 walks allowed with 65 strikeouts)
— Pierce has said time and again that there’s nobody he trusts more in a big spot than Stevens, who’s making his 25th appearance of the season and his 12th start. The fifth-year senior hasn’t started a game since an April 30 loss to Oklahoma State where went 5.2 innings, allowing six earned runs on six hits with two walks, two hit batters and a balk while striking out eight. Stevens has officially thrown 0.1 innings over two the first two games in Greenville, allowing four runs on three hits with two walks, one wild pitch and one strikeout.
East Carolina: Danny Beal, Soph., RHP (5-1, 4.03 ERA, 38 innings, 31 hits and 20 walks allowed with 40 strikeouts)
— Beal pitched in Saturday’s game, recording two outs on eight pitches. Sunday’s outing marks his 30th appearance of the season, but it’s only his second start.
WEATHER DELAY
— At 3:31 p.m. local time, it’s announced that there’s lightning in the area. Texas and East Carolina are both sent to their respective locker rooms and the stadium has been cleared of spectators. That goes for “The Jungle” beyond the outfield walls of Clark-LeClair Stadium, which has been cleared out by security and law enforcement.
— There’s no word in the press box on when the delay will end, but officials conduct an on-field meeting with Pierce and Godwin that ends at 4:06 p.m. local time, which is the game’s original start time.
— At 4:23 p.m. local time, fans are welcomed back into the stadium and the teams are allowed back on the field to warm up. The game is on with a scheduled 5:05 p.m. first pitch.
FIRST INNING
— Hodo pulls his bat back on a bunt attempt for a first-pitch ball by Beal at 5:06 p.m. local time. On Beal’s third pitch of the game, Hodo smacks one up the middle, beating the shift with Starling unable to get over in time to retire Hodo at first base. It’s an infield single for Hodo and Texas has the leadoff man on base for Kennedy.
— Hodo steals second base to put himself in scoring position, but it’ll be up to someone else to drive him in as Kennedy reaches base on a walk. Kennedy’s free pass ends an eight-pitch at-bat, putting two on with no outs for Melendez.
— There’s a new Division I single-season record holder for home runs in the BBCOR era. It was Kris Bryant with 31 in 2013, but Melendez’s 32nd home run of the season is a laser over the left-field wall and into The Jungle for a three-run bomb. The Longhorns snag the early lead with Collegiate Baseball Newspaper’s National Player of the Year doing the damage.
Texas 3, East Carolina 0
— Beal plunks Stehly, which is the fourth Longhorn in a row he’s put on base with Todd, the No. 5 hitter, coming to the plate. That’s the end of the day for Beal, who fails to record on 17 pitches. Righty Trey Yesavage (1-0, 3.60 ERA with two saves) is the first ECU bullpen hand to be called to the mound.
— Todd’s sacrifice bunt moves Stehly into scoring position. Messinger battles back from down 0-2 in the count, slapping a single to left over the outstretched glove of Makarewicz at third base. Stehly rounds third and Pierce sends him home with no play at the plate to open up a four-run lead for the Longhorns.
Texas 4, East Carolina 0
WEATHER DELAY
— At 5:25 p.m. local time, the game is paused and enters a weather delay. The grounds crew unrolls the tarp and puts it over the infield as fans file out of the stadium. When the game resumes, Ardoin will be in the box in 1-0 count and one out with Messinger on first base and the Longhorns looking to add to a four-run lead.
— After a meeting on the field with tournament officials, Godwin and Pierce, the grounds crew removes the tarp from the field at 6:22 p.m. local time. There’s been no word yet on when play will resume.
— At 6:26 p.m. local time, the tarp is put back on and an announcement is made that the game remains delayed. However, fans are allowed to return to their seats inside the stadium.
— It’s announced by the public address announcer at 6:50 p.m. that tournament officials are anticipating another storm system to roll through Greenville at approximately 8:30 p.m. An update on the resumption of the game will be provided thereafter.

Greenville Prisma Health gears up for new rush for COVID-19 vaccinations as J&J doses arrive in SC
The Johnson & Johnson vaccine started arriving Friday at both major hospitals and to the 125 private pharmacies across South Carolina.That information was released during a news conference held by Prisma Health officials as the hospital’s doctors and staff made preparations for Monday’s new phase of vaccinations.Prisma Health has received 1,200 doses of the J&J, also called the Janssen vaccine, but doctors said those doses would not be used at mass vaccination sites.To see a complete list of providers in South Carolina approved to receive the J&J vaccine, click here.Instead, they will be used in its roving mobile units and prioritized for the homeless and homebound.Vaccine registration is limited to each community targeted in Prisma’s mobile unit outreach to ensure those community members have access to the vaccine, hospital officials said.Community-site hosts will work with the hospital system to reach out to eligible residents and assist them in making appointments for the mobile events. Prisma hopes to continue to expand vaccine access to vulnerable communities across the state. Community sites that would like more information about vaccination events may contact Prisma Health through Bradshaw.Infor@prismahealth.org. More than 10,000 people already got shots this week at the hospital’s mass vaccination site at the old Kmart in Greenville, officials said.By Monday at 8 a.m., almost 3 million people who qualify for Phase 1b across the state will get their chance to make appointments for a vaccination.This new group includes those 55 and over, teachers, and those over 16 who are at an increased risk for COVID-19. Registrants will not have to provide a note from a doctor but will have to list their condition as part of the registration process.During the news conference, doctors said what concerns them most is the limited supply.”I’m still extremely concerned about the limited vaccine supply,” Dr. Saria Sccocio said. “But we will do everything we can do to get those shots in the arms of those who are eligible and want to get this very important life-saving vaccine.”To put the supply in perspective, administrators with Prisma said they requested almost 60,000 doses this week and received less than 19,000.For that reason, they’re asking for everyone’s continued patience.

Tommy’s Country Ham House to close after more than 30 years in business
Tommy’s Country Ham House in Greenville will close its doors this spring, after more than 30 years in business.According to a release from the restaurant, owner Tommy Stevenson is retiring, and the property has been purchased by a Charleston-based restaurant group with plans to remodel the existing building for a new dining concept to open in early 2022.(Video Above: Tommy’s Country Ham House celebrates 30th anniversary)”This has been one of the most difficult decisions I’ve ever made,” said Stevenson. “The Country Ham House has been my life. This year I’ll be 80 and I want to spend more time with my children and grandchildren.”Originally located on Buncombe Street, Stevenson purchased the restaurant in 1985. It moved to its current location on Rutherford Street in 1997.Along with regular diners, Tommy’s has been known as a frequent stop for stumping politicians, and photos of visitors line the restaurant’s “Wall of Fame.””Family aside, the Country Ham House has been my life’s great reward. Operating a restaurant is no easy task, but the satisfaction comes when the dining room is full of folks who say how much they enjoyed their meal and appreciate us being there. That’s made 36 years of early morning wake-ups worth it,” Stevenson said.In 2018, Stevenson was awarded the Order of the Palmetto, the state’s highest civilian honor, awarded to citizens of South Carolina.

Hundreds receive vaccines at Prisma Health Greenville vaccination facility
Gov. Henry McMaster said his administration is doing what it can to urge hospitals to speed up statewide administration of their COVID-19 vaccine supply after a visit to Greenville Thursday morning. “They get a first dose shipment one week and that same week they get a second dose shipment,” McMaster said of South Carolina hospitals. “Use them all up. Don’t keep any on the shelf. Get the people in as quickly as we can.” His message came as hundreds of Greenville County residents received their first doses of the vaccine at Prisma Health’s vaccination facility in Greenville at the old Kmart Thursday. Some people there said they never saw the parking lot so crowded. Lines grew into the afternoon, stretching outside along the front of the building. Right now, vaccinations are open to people age 70 and older. Prisma Health encourages appointments through VAMS. Gloria Duckett and her husband, of Greenville, scheduled their appointment for Thursday. They were done by the early afternoon. “I just thank God that my husband and I were able to get in and do it,” she said. “It ran smoothly. We were in and out in about 45 (minutes) to an hour and that wasn’t bad with all the people that are here,” she said. Prisma Health said if you’re having trouble registering, you can walk in to receive the vaccine without a scheduled appointment. That’s what Walt and Jean Miller did. Walt already received his vaccination, but he and Jean went together so she could have hers. They waited in line for about an hour Thursday morning. “We got through it pretty fast,” Walt said. “It was good. Everybody was pretty well staying separated and everybody wore their mask.” “I was trying to get it sooner to be closer to him and I did, so we’re fine,” Jean said. Prisma Health said it is maintaining social distancing and mask wearing for people while inside. People who went inside the building said chairs are also available to sit in while waiting. But outside, some people had concerns. “What I’m observing is that people seem to have totally forgotten about the separation,” said Dennis Anderson, of Greenville. “I’m looking at the large lines of people right close to each other, plus the huge number of people in the building. “There have to be affected people in that group,” he said. McMaster urged patience for all South Carolinians who haven’t yet been vaccinated. “I think that you’re gonna see some more progress in South Carolina, but eventually we need more vaccine and I’m confident that that’s coming, but probably won’t be until March or so,” he said. When asked, McMaster also said he doesn’t see any immediate major changes to vaccine distribution or supply with President Joe Biden’s administration.
