who had “plague in July”??
Happens at least once a year. Just don’t mess with the ground squirrels or prairie dogs.
Exactly, where I live is plague ground zero. New Mexico, land of the flea, home of the plague,
For decades our local sci-fi convention was called “Bubonicon”.
I live in Western Oregon. Central and Eastern Oregon, mostly arid or outright desert, has cases of plague every few years.
the plague is endemic to eastern colorado ... prairie dog colonies host the plague-carrying fleas ... the most common trans-species infections occur when fools let their dogs run through the colonies and bring home the plague-carrying fleas ... we typically get a few cases of plague here every summer ...
Donate to The Human Fund.
Marxism is the deadliest pleauge ever.
I used to be one of those, but I returned back to my petri dish where I can only infect my fellow Californians.
We need to create a Being Fund.
What is the source of this plague? Border jumpers bringing it up with their dogs?
Fear porn. We need a vaccine! Oh you mean we already have 1 million doses ready?
Actuslly, no. Trade ships from China from the late 1800s/early 1900s. Plague actually spread out from San Francisco.
It's not a real big deal if you treat it early enough.
Seems the Plague came into the US from China around 1900 in San Francisco but was covered up and never publicized.
Given how disgusting and unsanitary our rat infested our cities are becoming and how "homeless" drug addled people live in very close proximity to these rats it would not take much to start another mini pandemic and San Francisco or LA would be the perfect place for it to start.
I’m actually surprised there hasn’t been a plague outbreak yet.
I understand the naming of this disease with the word “plague,” did not mean it was the original bubonic plague that killed tens of millions of people in Europe in the 14th century. I assumed it was the generic term for it. Little did I know that the infectious disease caused by the Yersinia pestis bacteria is still hanging around and accounts for over 80 percent of U.S. plague cases. Plague cases have mostly occurred in Africa, according to the WHO. “The three most endemic countries are the Democratic Republic of Congo, Madagascar, and Peru,” according to the CDC.
The human plague persists because it can survive under the ground for years. Animals that burrow underground can pick it up. The article was short of information. It made me think people can get infected and be carriers. However, it may need the bite of an infected flee which changes that explanation. Dogs can carry those infected flees.
We had a dog infected with flees so bad, we had flees hopping all over the house. We didn’t even know he was infected until they started crawling up our leg. I think the flees came from the squirrels living in our trees and spreading them in the lawn. Lucky the flees weren’t carriers of infection.
No vaccine required. Treated by a fancy new drug penicillin.
Per the CDC, around 7 cases annually in the US.
The enemedia outlet left that part out for some strange reason.
[[sudden fever and chills, severe headache, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting and a general feeling of illness]]
Hmm, just had that a couple of days ago, used ivermectin and by the next day, it was nearly gone (was still weak from being so sick though)- others in town have been sick, for a week plus with whatever flu or cold or covid it is (not sure what is going around nowz- but pretty sure it isn’t h7msn plague lol)
