What do you think? Are you afraid? Even a little alarmed? (I am) |

Another reason why the bubonic plague spread so quickly was due to extremely tight/cramped slums that were infested with plagued rats. The water got infected also. Today, things are much cleaner and people have (usually) a better sense of hygiene. Diseases don't get completely wiped out. There will always be carriers that are immune to it who spread it to people who aren't. Most epidemics occur in cycles. They emerge in and out of civilization. As medicine/technology and personal hygiene improved, the number that are exposed to it and/or those that actually die from it decrease. I'm not worried. I was only worried when a New Jersey lab lost a rat that was infected with the plague because that is incredibly stupid. |
