If you're alive today, you're immune to it.

Maybe the Spanish Flu - which spread pretty much world wide, but certainly not a relatively local plague in ancient Egypt.

I don't know if we know it was only local. It was recorded by the Egyptians but may have been wide spread.

The Dark Ages was once thought to have been an European event...we know now that it was worldwide.
