Didn’t get a chance to read but the excerpt, is anyone saying this is Pneumonic plague yet? It’s more serious than Bubonic plague. :(

I had Yersinia Pestis (bubonic plague) while in Vietnam in 1970. Got it from a defective Army immunization. I spent 23 days in intensive care. That was the sickese I’ve ever been.

No, it is not “plague” – Bubonic nor Pneumonic. Those are caused by a bacterium - Yersinia pestis.

The 2019-NCoV is a coronavirus….caused by a virus.
