"He says the disease, once known as the Black Death got somewhat of a bad rap after killing off a third of Europes population in the 1300s."If you kill off a third of Europe, it's not a "bad" rap.

"But he says thanks to scientific advances, its no longer a death sentence." It's a kinder, gentler Black Death.

Reminds me of the quote :It appears that the elephant is highly sensitive to the effects of LSD"
This was written after a scientist was testing LSD on an elephant and it dropped dead rather quickly.

This is terrible news. This spreads very fast and can kill millions.

I recall that about 1900 there was a bubonic plague outbreak in India and something like 50 million people died.
To: Benchim
This is terrible news. This spreads very fast and can kill millions. There are a few cases every year. Here in Colorado it's spread among prairie dogs, and occasionally crosses over. It's not especially virulent -- certainly millions don't die from it.
This makes some believe that the Black Death may not actually have been Bubonic Plague as we currently know it.

The plague is not as rare as they make it sound. Every few years there is an outbreak of it on the Navajo reservations, the prairie dogs carry it. However, as the article states it is very curable now if it is caught early.

Mexico?
Obama needs a new distraction crisis?
Once we have far fewer doctors and money, thanks to Obamacare, these types of events should prove to be rather exciting.

Well with the enviroterrorists working hard to take society BACK 600 years. (With the help of the EPA) We will probably see more of these once CONTROLLED Diseases popping up.

We now have Hansen’s Disease here in the USA. It’s also known as leprosy. Guess where it is coming from.

It’s not all that uncommon... it’s just really easy to treat nowadays. Anywhere where antibiotics are hard to come by, and it can be a real big problem.
