It's pretty minor now. If you get medical help within 12 hours, your chance of survival is almost 100%

Plague occurs in the United States. When I was stationed in Colorado I had to get vaccinated against plague because the natural reservoir is prairie dogs and is spread by the fleas that infest them.

ETA: 10 to 15 cases in the US every year.

Hmmm. Didn't know the mil was vaccinating us against plague. But with all the vaccinations I've gotten from them over the last sixteen years, there's no fucking telling what I got.

Should be in your shot record. They only give it where there is a problem. It's a 3 shot series, one shot every 30 (or is it 60?) days. You know when you're getting the series because it's a hassle to make sure you get them on time. I had to start the series 3 times.

Yup...you will see signs similar to these in Northeastern AZ up by the Petrified Forest, Window Rock, etc.

They are more ominous, as I recall.  Something like "WARNING!  You are entering a United States Plague Zone".  Pretty sweet!  Unless you cop the plague!!!

The more dangerous pneumonic version is currently active in Colorado (see my post and link above).





We might treat cases in humans but fleas and rodents carry it so it's hard to picture ever eradicating it.





ETA: More dangerous in that it is airborne

Already 4 cases of pneumonic plague, (the respiratory version of bubonic plague), in Colorado this year.  If proper meds are available these diseases are easily cured.

Look. If China closed of a city to protect the rest of China. Then it is worst than they are saying.

Communist countries always lie about the casualties.

For example. The death toll from the Chinese earthquake.

They did not include some eight+ towns totally buried by the mudslides. They kept the numbers extremely low so they could have their Olympics.

Pride is always a lie under Communism.

Look at Obama with the labor and healthcare numbers.

Pretty sure a few cases pop up in the US every year.

Then again, it is China.

You'll find out when they lose your medical records and they want to give you everything all over again.

You thought wrong.

It has been lurking in nature for centuries, even in this country, as other replies noted.

I remember in the 80's as a kid watching a show on armadillos. It always stuck with me that they had said they still carry the disease.
