You all realize bubonic plague is easily curable with an anti-biotic right? Science :ahh:

only reason it killed so many people back then is because they didn't have that shyt. I'm pretty sure around 100,000 people get it a year to this day.

Health officials in Los Angeles County announced yesterday that a squirrel found covered in fleas has tested positive for bubonic plague, the scourge that develops into the deadly pneumonic plague known as the Black Death and wiped out an estimated 200 million people in Europe during the 14th century. Last month, two pet dogs in New Mexico were also discovered with the disease, which is genetically very similar to the strain from the 1300s.

So vets are just picking up random dead squirrels and testing for the Bubonic plague just for GP huh?

I believe when they find dead animals from unexplained or strange causes, they examine them.. it's their job, ya know?

You gotta remember we live in a country
where people will shun vaccines and anti-biotic's :pachaha:
So you just might see a few deaths if the right people get infected.
