    Default WTF China?? Now Bubonic Plague??

    25-50 million in 1st outbreak. 1/3rd of European population and more. The 3rd, of course starting in southwest China, 80,000+ dead.

    Granted, all 3 of those were a long, long time ago. Time and medicine made things different. And we still see 600+ deaths of this thing yearly?? Likely from China.

    Also used in warfare as biological weaponry. So probably also stored in Wuhan.

    China does look to have some very beautiful places to visit. But no way, no how that ever happens. Centuries of eating the nastiest shit on earth, followed by things like this.

    And look away, bubonic plague isn't anything to worry about. Can you imagine? "Hey boss, not gonna be able to make it in today. I got the bubonic plague."

    W.H.O. Backs China’s Handling of Bubonic Plague Outbreak: ‘Not High Risk’

    An outbreak of the deadly and highly transmissible bubonic plague in China is being “well managed” by Beijing and is really no cause for alarm, the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) said Tuesday.

    Authorities in the city of Bayannur, in the Chinese region of Inner Mongolia, issued a warning Sunday after a hospital patient – reported to be a herdsman – presented with the disease, as Breitbart News reported.

    Eleven people have died of the plague, known as the Black Death in the Middle Ages, across China since 2009.

    Symptoms of the bacterial infection, mostly spread by rodents, include a fever, swollen lymph nodes and feeling weak.

    There were four reported cases of plague in people in the same region last November, including two cases of the deadlier pneumonic plague. On that occasion the Chinese government blocked the release of all details about the patients.

    Now W.H.O. spokeswoman Margaret Harris has told the BBC the latest outbreak is absolutely no cause for concern as the Chinese Communist government has the matter well in hand. She said:

    Bubonic plague has been with us and is always with us, for centuries. We are looking at the case numbers in China. It’s being well managed.

    At the moment, we are not considering it high risk but we’re watching it, monitoring it carefully.

    We had to be immunized against the plague to go overseas/on deployment. Same with typhoid and cholera. Those diseases aren't gone just because they aren't here.
