“DNA from the earliest known stain of bubonic plague suggests new outbreaks possible.” I love history and this is one I don’t want to see us repeat. 2/3 of Europe was extinguished in the blink of an eye and the Justinian Plague wiped out 1/2 of the known world at the time.
I also had no idea but there are about 2000 cases of bubonic plague reported yearly. Scary!
A quick word on the Plague – its transmitted by the flea and the fleas are generally transported by rodents. We occasionally receive news from the 4 Corners area of the Southwest that fleas are tested and test positive for the Plague.
