If my memory serves me right...........................

Bubonic Plaque responds well to antibiotics such as Ampicillin (which nobody knew about in the middle ages)

It's "vector" is the fleas on rodents, presumably like the rats in NYC

You may hear of outbreaks at campgrounds from time to time in California (from chipmunks, squirrels etc.)

The RATS are thick in NYC (though not as thick in D.C. as they were yesterday).

So are large rodents.
