“Pneumonic Plague
The lungs are the pneumonic organs in the human body. When the source of infection of a pandemic medical condition is in the lungs then the plague is considered a pneumonic plague. The pathogen might introduce itself in the lung tissue in a number of ways. The primary method is by inhalation of mist which is infected of a pathogen. This is called air or vector borne transmission and since the mist is already toxic then there is no need for an animal or flea to be involved directly.
Secondary pneumonic transmission occurs when poisoned blood is transferred to the lung tissue and that poisoned blood might be a result of a population experiencing a septicemic plague or a bubonic plague or both.
So while all three types of plagues are deadly and can cause pandemics that have the potential to kill a large percentage of the human population within weeks, it is not necessarily true that a plague is exclusively the domain of viruses.”
SO apparently it can be spread by coughing?
Pneumonic plague is transmitted only by air. So coughing and sneezing spread it. The droplets get into the lungs and it’s pneumonic. If you get it on the skin it’s bubonic and you get the charateristic pustules and swollen lymph nodes.
