The unidentified patient, from Coconino County, showed up to the Flagstaff Medical Center Emergency Department and died there the same day, Northern Arizona Healthcare said in a statement. It is unclear when the death occurred.
The hospital noted that "appropriate initial management" and "attempts to provide life-saving resuscitation" was performed, but "the patient did not recover."
Rapid diagnostic testing led to a presumptive diagnosis of Yersinia pestis.
Coconino County Health and Human Services said testing results confirmed Friday that the patient died from pneumonic plague, described as “a severe lung infection caused by the Yersinia pestis bacterium.”
This marked the first recorded death from pneumonic plague in the county since 2007, when an individual had an interaction with a dead animal infected with the disease, according to county officials.
The most common forms of plague are bubonic, pneumonic, and septicemic. Pneumonic plague "develops when bacteria spread to the lungs of a patient with untreated bubonic or septicemic plague, or when a person inhales infectious droplets coughed out by another person or animal with pneumonic plague," according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

I don't even want to bother guessing what kind of 'interaction' that was...
The prairie doggies here in Colorado also have plague.
And the treehugging commie lunatics in Boulder made them a protected species.
SHEESH!
A man comes out with a dead-looking old man in a nightshirst slung over his shoulder.
He starts to put the old man on the cart.
Man: Here’s one-
Cart-master: Ninepence.
Old Man: (feebly) I’m not dead!
Cart-master: (suprised) What?
Man: Nothing! Here’s your ninepence....
Old Man: I’m not dead!

my sister was a traveling public health service nurse in Wyoming and Arizona for years out on the reservations and said plague and hunta are not unusual and treatable when caught early.
Some of my best friends were grunts, DATs too.
I knew one guy - 11B20 - who was a physicist - PhD type - decided in his late 20’s if he was ever going to do anything reckless and exciting it was now or never. He helped me make my career choice and study calculus.
There was a Quincy episode about it back in the '70s.
Bacterium the last living thing on earth ? don’t like that ending.

The article doesn’t explain it well, but the pneumonic plague is bubonic plague that has settled into the patient’s lungs.
This is why the catch and release program the biden administration did and also by any administration. Is and was a harrowing and a huge gamble.
Tho the mainstream media will not cover it, measles outbreaks, whooping cough outbreaks and even bedbug outbreaks as well as others have been and are traceable back to criminal illegal UN medically screened border crossers.
The mainstream medias thought processes on this.
“We done want people the little people, the average people, the sheeple to be hostile to the poor migrants.....”
THIS should scare the shit out of everyone.

**How far is Africa from the US by plane?**
This air travel distance is equal to 8,945 miles.
**How long is the flight time from the Africa to the USA?**
Non-stop flight time from Johannesburg, South Africa to New York is around 16 hours 15 minutes.
The Kinshasa Capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo flight time to Johannesburg, South Africa's non stop is around 4 hours 15 minutes.

#The Ebola incubation period, or the time interval from infection to onset of symptoms, is from 2 to 21 days. People are not contagious until they develop symptoms.
An infected person could realistically be in NYC in 24 hours if all the lights were green, EBOLA incubates from 2 to 21 DAYS before it is infectious. Just how far can they worm their way in to a city, a state the east coast, the west coast where ever before they start infecting others? A homeless camp here a bus station there an air port. One gets to good old Mexico and mingles with a thousand or so deserving dreaming ms-13 un accompanied minors.
You do the math.
In the western USA there are squirrels, rats and mice that carry fleas that have the plague.
pneumonic plague is the worst kind of plague and has a very high mortality rate compared to the other plague infection types, plus pneumonic plague is transmissible via aerosol droplets, unlike other forms that are transmitted via infected fleas ...
I totally missed that it said pneumonic. My apologies. This puts a totally different light on things.
Very good.
Pneumonic was reasoned out before explicitly documented.
The British recordkeeping starting in 1348 would record (by various clergymen serving a given village) the presence of deaths taking place and the swollen lymph nods (buboes). The counts would be meticulously noted.
You would get numbers like 5 dead one week, then 7, then 8, then 11 and then suddenly 35 and 55 and 80 and then . . . records ended. Everyone died.
What happened was some strong person got bubonic plague and was put in a hospital and he was strong and held on a long time. Too long. It reached his lungs and he started coughing before he died. That got everyone in the hospital, who then went home, or to church, coughing. That’s how the numbers exploded like that. One strong patient holding on for too long.

Per the above, FWIW, The US has a few cases annually.
Speaking of Hanta virus, I wonder if anyone ever claimed the bodies of Gene Hackman and his wife. A month after they died, nobody had.
Did they offer a prophylactic course of antibiotic to them, just in case?
Cause none of that is important. The only important question is have they been in one of the known plague zones or do we have a new one? Because the plague is known to be in AZ (and a lot of the world really), and this kind of thing happens semi-regularly. Doesn’t generally rate national news, NBC must be bored.
Wow! Thanks for sharing!
The map sure makes me want to avoid the Four Corners area!
The southwest has the VAST majority of cases!
