I can’t figure it out either. But it can’t be due to immigration. Because all immigrants are carefully examined before entering the county.
Oh, wait. That’s an old picture. They don’t do that anymore. Never mind.

A New Mexico man has died of complications from the bubonic plague as state health officials scramble to assess the ongoing risk in the region.
The unidentified Lincoln Country resident had been hospitalized recently with the bacterial affliction, although the details surrounding how he contracted it and how his health deteriorated remain unclear, the state Department of Health (NMDOH) announced Friday.
Despite medics’ best efforts, the patient succumbed to his symptoms, marking New Mexico’s first recorded case of bubonic plague since 2021.
This was also the state’s first BP-related fatality since 2020; the state recorded four cases of the disease that year alone.
Plague “is a bacterial disease of rodents,” according to the health department, and generally spreads to humans through infected flea bites; it additionally can gain ground through direct contact with infected animals, such as rodents, wildlife and even pets.

Measles are making a comeback also.
Hello Disease X.
It’s not ‘rodent borne’ it’s FLEAS............................

Bring out your dead. Let the tumbrels roll.
It’s been here for ages.
Maybe illegals brought the diseases in.
The CDC has a nice page about plague in the US:
https://www.cdc.gov/plague/maps/index.html
“ In recent decades, an average of seven human plague cases have been reported each year (range: 1–17 cases per year). ”
A subtle distinction. BP is one of several reasons why we should all take up prairie dog hunting.
Bubonic Plague is endemic in western states. I think Oregon had a case this year already. It’s easily treated in its early stages.
It’s pretty much a staple of New Mexico, it isn’t common but it happens regularly enough.
I can’t figure it out either. But it can’t be due to immigration. Because all immigrants are carefully examined before entering the county.

Measles, Monkeypox (formerly mpox, LOL!), bubonic plague, syphilis, etc.
Brought in by foreign barbarians, spread by domestic sexual deviants.
[[Plague “is a bacterial disease of rodents,” according to the health department]]
The same health department that got everything wr9ng about covid now gets the plague origins wrong too- it is thought that fleas and human body lice spread the disease- if they had said “is a bacterial disease that is transmitted by lice and fleas, and which also infects rodents” then yeah, that would have been correct.
Trust the science /s
My son was on a construction crew once and at lunch they started a contest where they sprayed the different colors of marking paint on the prairie dogs and, of course , whoever had the most prairie dogs won.
Someone turned them in to the authorities for animal cruelty and so they just started shooting them instead.

Keep them tumbrels rollin'...
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
The false positive rate was 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
Quarantine the sick. Protect the vulnerable. Hang the guilty. Free everyone else.
The rodents are undocumented new arrivals.
One of the reasons we used to have a border where such things are checked,and eradicted .
This rodent scourge will expand......
So get out your rat traps everyone.
More people die from Tylenol than die from plague each year- many more actually.
Plague is endemic in New Mexico, but infrequently encountered.
