First case of bubonic plague discovered in US state in almost a decade (msn.com)
Authorities in Oregon have confirmed the US state’s first human case of bubonic plague in almost 10 years. A resident of Deschutes County, located south-east of the city of Portland, is believed to have been infected through contact with their pet. The disease is most notorious for two epidemics in England over the past millennium, one of which – known as the Black Death – killed 40% to 60% of the country’s population in the late 1340s. Deschutes County officials said symptoms of plague tend to appear two to eight days after the patient is exposed to an infected animal or flea. Those symptoms include fever, muscle aches and buboes, the visibly swollen lymph nodes that give the disease its name.
Dr. Fauci, noted pathologist and multi-millionaire, warns of the possibility of contagion. "We must abide by social distancing protocols and develop stringent guidelines for interacting. Could this adversely affect the GDP? Yes, but the health of U.S. citizens takes precedent over all other considerations."
