Walker570 Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) The Black Death. I read that a young man in New Mexico has died of bubonic plague.........aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! runnnnn!!!!! hide!!!!!! ...the article goes on to say that quite a few people in those south western States of the USA get the Plague each year and have done for as long as anybody can remember. Then a report from China, that a case of The Plague has popped up in their northern regions. I can just see the shear panic now very similar to that with this covid deal which now seems to not have been as fatal as reported with all the scientific statistics way out and the country and businesses now struggling as a result. I'm afraid I blame the media, because with all this facebook etc etc etc news travels so fast and not always true news either. Get a life, it ain't a rehearsal , get out there and enjoy every minute you can. On edit , it says that it is mainly caught from handling and eating rodents.

Vince Green Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 My nephew is an archeologist and this was the subject of a conversation we had some years ago. He was digging up skeletons of suspected plague victims at the time. Its still around, it never went away, but it responds to antibiotics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 It isn't exactly common, but dies still occur in many parts of the world including the USA. Unlike Covid, there is an effective treatment. https://www.vox.com/2015/9/9/9279775/bubonic-plague-black-death-fleas-rats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesitate and you will die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
