I wonder how long it will take the Bush Derangement Syndrome idiots to blame it on the US.

This could be a terrorist plan to spread the highly infectious disease throughout the Western nations by having these infected people (who are contagious) infect the populations they are in...

I’ve heard that they were experimenting with that idea...

That’s what less than half of the US voters and the rest of the %5 fraudulent votes (rough guess, they even had them live on cnn) believe.

A fitting plan for their 10th Century mentality.

But in western countries there is readily available and effective treatment (if the illness is detected soon enough). This is not true for a lot of countries where terrorists originate. Such a plan might seriously backfire, decimating the ranks of potential recruits.

Unless it’s engineered and/or weaponized, rodent traps and antibiotics.

The question is: Is this a natural strain brought on by fleas carrying the organism in a natural sequence of events or is this a weaponized strain that they were handling that got loose?

No vaccine, since the disease is a bacterium and not a virus.

But it can be treated with anti-biotics.

I hope because the other two options would be either we did it to them (possible but I doubt it) or they were practicing / preparing to use it meaning they have their hands on the stuff. I’d have some fear of that here in the states but I would be Europe would be an easier target for them. Hope its Divine intervention myself.
Germany did not use chemical weapons for two reasons in WW2, One they were not precise and two once one side uses it the gloves are off. Bio weapons are somewhat similar logic.

You said — “But in western countries there is readily available and effective treatment (if the illness is detected soon enough). This is not true for a lot of countries where terrorists originate. Such a plan might seriously backfire, decimating the ranks of potential recruits.”

Yeah, maybe it won’t be as effective as they think. But, then again, the health system could become overwhelmed, too, if it were a large enough crisis.

However, I would be worried more about direct terrorists attacks like concealed nukes in this country, several set to go off at the same time in major cities. That seems more likely to me...
