Sometimes you just gotta wonder when the Bible's Book of Revelation is going to happen. Not if, but when.
Isn’t Bubonic Plague spread by flea bites from infected animals, not by human interactivity?

Nowadays, it's getting so that any creature, including humans, can carry and transmit anything. There's also a story two weeks ago warning about another version of Avian Flu in Bulgaria.

Yes, history always repeats.

For those with question Re - Plague - from CDC : https://emergency.cdc.gov/agent/plague/factsheet.asp



Plague is an infectious disease that affects animals and humans. It is caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. This bacterium is found in rodents and their fleas and occurs in many areas of the world, including the United States.
Y. pestis is easily destroyed by sunlight and drying. Even so, when released into air, the bacterium will survive for up to one hour, although this could vary depending on conditions.
Pneumonic plague is one of several forms of plague. Depending on circumstances, these forms may occur separately or in combination:
  • Pneumonic plague occurs when Y. pestis infects the lungs. This type of plague can spread from person to person through the air. Transmission can take place if someone breathes in aerosolized bacteria, which could happen in a bioterrorist attack. Pneumonic plague is also spread by breathing in Y. pestis suspended in respiratory droplets from a person (or animal) with pneumonic plague. Becoming infected in this way usually requires direct and close contact with the ill person or animal. Pneumonic plague may also occur if a person with bubonic or septicemic plague is untreated and the bacteria spread to the lungs.
  • Bubonic plague is the most common form of plague. This occurs when an infected flea bites a person or when materials contaminated with Y. pestis enter through a break in a person’s skin. Patients develop swollen, tender lymph glands (called buboes) and fever, headache, chills, and weakness. Bubonic plague does not spread from person to person.
  • Septicemic plague occurs when plague bacteria multiply in the blood. It can be a complication of pneumonic or bubonic plague or it can occur by itself. When it occurs alone, it is caused in the same ways as bubonic plague; however, buboes do not develop. Patients have fever, chills, prostration, abdominal pain, shock, and bleeding into skin and other organs. Septicemic plague does not spread from person to person.
Pneumonic plague is highly contagious, infective, and highly rapidly lethal -even treated.

forgot - Yersinia pestis - bacteria that causes plague - is endemic in some areas of the Southwest - New Mexico - particularly among prairie dogs. Which can be used as food.

and can be a source of infection for humans.

It may be imported from China - but it is also endemic to the US.



Congratulations mm - something new and completely different?? Well - not 'completely"!
Where is all the OBLM anti'racist' complaints about the locust infestation in Africa - gotta be white supremacist racist locusts - right????
