If you kill off a third of Europe, it's not a "bad" rap.
It's a kinder, gentler Black Death.
Is this close to Portland (hopefully)?
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.
Another case of DDT being needed...
“DeBess says authorities are now trying to determine the source of the infection.”
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.
Rats in Oregon, whoda thunk?
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.
What are the symptoms?
...in a private health care society, which we have had stolen from us by the Democrat Party of Death and it's Chief Kenyan.
Be ready, folks. We are being driven into the 19th century, with life-spans and technology to match.
SOMEWHAT of a bad rap??!!
Snip: Over at this thread at Jihad Watch, Max Publius of the blog Brave News World left the following information:
Muslims caused the Black Death in Europe by biological warfare. This may be one of Islam's few innovations. Muslims catapulted diseased, dead bodies over the walls into Christian Constantinople. From there, bubonic plague spread into Europe and killed over 50 million people, or one in three Europeans. Historians obscure the link to Islam by calling these jihadist Muslims "Mongols," but they were actually Muslim, using Arabic names, and worshipping Mohammad….
If the plague hits your town do not move
Snip: A hadith has been mentioned in al-Bukhari’s al-Sahih on the authority of Yahya bin Yamar, according to which Ayesha, Mother of the Faithful, says that she asked the Holy Prophet about the epidemic of plague.
He said: “It was a scourge sent by Allah unto whom He willed. Now it has been made a blessing for the Muslims. A person who stays in the affected town, shows patience and believes that nothing will befall him except what Allah has ordained, will receive the same reward as a martyr”.
Now we quote another hadith on this very subject. It is mentioned in al-Kafi, Vol. VIII. According to it Ubaydullah al-Halabi asked Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (a) whether a person was allowed to move out of a place where plague had broken out?
The Imam (a) said: “There is no harm. The Prophet only forbade the leaving of a place which was situated in front of the enemy position. When plague broke out there and the people began to flee from it, the Prophet said that he who fled from there, would be considered to have run away from a battlefield. The Prophet said so because he did not want the Muslims to desert their position.
“once known as the Black Death got somewhat of a bad rap after killing off a third of Europe’s population...”
Other than the dead part, it’s just a nice little friendly infection!!
Who writes this crap????
Jeesh!
I always try to avoid Black Death like the plague.
(Reference to FReeper Matt Bracken's excellent novel Foreign Enemies and Traitors novel, in which a plot line involves government officials intentionally introducing the plague to effect a desired political outcome.)
Let’s face it, America’s got the Black Death and we have to wait two more years for the cure...
