Good luck socially distancing from this if it ever gets over here again. I'm sure people will still rush to the pub.

At least it is treatable, we might want to stock up on antibiotics though

HACTUALLY
Bubonic plague was never fully eradicated (basically no disease ever has been) and there are sporadic small outbreaks all the time. I believe there were a couple of cases in the US as recently as 2018. It's also endemic in Peru, DemRep of Congo and Madagascar (where it's occasionally quite bad). Cases in China aren't uncommon. You just don't usually hear about them. Diseases are "front page news" at the moment though, for obvious reasons. |

I guess the main thing worth pointing out is that plague (both bubonic and pneumonic) are bacterial infections which means they're curable with modern healthcare so long as they're caught early. "The Black Death" was 600 years pre-penicillin, and The Great Plague 250 years.

A 15 year-old boy has died of bubonic plague in Mongolia, according to the country's health ministry.
The National Centre for Zoonotic Diseases (NCZD) said the teenager from the western province of Govi-Altai had died from eating marmot meat. A quarantine has now been put in place on five districts in the province, which shares a border with China. https://news.sky.com/story/bubonic-p...sease-12028222 |

...the irony is that it isn’t eaten because of hunger... it’s specifically eaten raw because that’s considered to be some kind of folk remedy capable of delivering good health...oh...
