Authorities in China have stepped up precautions after a city in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region confirmed one case of bubonic plague.

 

According to state reports, the Bayannur patient - a herdsman - is in quarantine and in a stable condition.

 

Officials issued a Level 3 warning, the second-lowest in a four-tier system.

 

The bubonic plague, caused by bacterial infection, can be deadly, but can be treated with commonly available antibiotics.

 

The new case was first reported as suspected bubonic plague on Saturday at a hospital in Urad Middle Banner, in Bayannur city.

 

It is not yet clear how or why the patient might have become infected.

 

The level 3 alert forbids the hunting and eating of animals that could carry plague and calls on the public to report suspected cases.

Fatal but treatable

Cases of bubonic plague are periodically reported around the world.

Was just saying this morning if Biden wins I have a feeling the vaccine will be cleared sometime before Christmas.  If Trump wins we may be waiting another 4 years.

Is there a special mask for this type of virus? I want to get a jump on them before the supply chain dwindles.....that and toilet paper of course.

Masks don’t work until we’re 3 months into the pandemic. Keep up.

If Biden wins, all talk of the Flu Manchu will drop from the media, and no one will care if a vaccine comes out.

Unless you're protesting rioting. Then masks aren't needed, as you magically become immune.

And once the new swine flu gets here it will of course be Trump's fault....

As for the plague, if I remember right, it was carried by rats that themselves were immune. So I think most Democrat officials are pretty safe from it...

I believe it was fleas infesting the rats that were responsible for spreading it.

 

Either way, still democrats.
