Everyone on the other link is laughing and joking about this. But this CAN Be spread from human to human. I hope they have these people quarantined. This spread like wildfire in Europe.

But this CAN Be spread from human to human.

Very true. Plague can spread two ways, the first through the bites from fleas carried by rats or other rodents, the second is air borne from plague pneumonia. The airborne route is EXTREMELY contagious and likewise rapidly FATAL.

yes it did 1200 years ago... by lice and fleas.
It is not really easy to spread, if you limit access to common blood ingesting pets.

If this were a terrorist hybrid, we COULD have a problem.
I doubt we do at this time.

I keep hearing on TV that it cannot be spread from human to human. Well, then, why are the people in isolation? Hmmm?? I can understand one person getting it, but what are the chanced of both people getting it at the same time if it can't be spread from person to person?
