It is well known for many years that squirrels in California have the plague. Apparently we dont get enough cold weather to kill the virus.
Capture it and let it loose in Portland
This is not uncommon in Colorado. Just don’t touch dead animals, especially squirrels and prairie dogs.
"Bullwinkle I dont feel so good!"
Found it during a routine physical no doubt.
Actually it’s the fleas on the rodents that spread the plague.
Do you want the poor tree rat to catch something worse?
We do here in Nor Cal, where it get down to below zero during the Winter. No fleas here.
WELL LET’S SHUT DOWN THE G-D COUNTRY.
If only it had worn a mask. :-(
I am waiting to gear Fauci demand the country be shut down due to this.
Not kidding, will be waiting to see this come across the wires.
There. Fixed it.
Don’t worry!
They’ll bring it here soon enough...
We also get down to zero here in Chicago; our last dog had fleas multiple times. Our previous before her never had them, and our current is on Bravecto.
I’m over fleas. It was awful.
I should have been more specific, Southern California. I recall being warned about the plague in squirrels since the late 70s.
LOL! I thought this was the new excuse to shut down the economy. Squirrels can’t provide testimony to refute Dr. Fauci, I think!
sigh ... more panic porn ... plague is endemic to Colorado rodents, and it’s absolutely no big deal here ... it’s like rabies being endemic in the southeastern states ...
human infection occurs upon occasion, usually when idiots let their dogs run loose in prairie dog colonies afflicted with plague-laden fleas, where the fleas hop onto the dogs and then onto their owners ...
even then, human deaths from plague are almost non-existent because plague is easily treatable with common antibiotics and is relatively easy to diagnose here ...
LoL!
