No fucks given. y'all act like plague is this horrible vestige of an era long gone but I lost a classmate to it in 6th grade. I grew up being told to avoid the squirrels, particularly the ones that don't run from you because that's where you tend to catch it. New Mexico says "about half" of US cases are in that state which is pretty f'n hilarious because while everyone else is busy going "HOLY SHIT PLAGUE" NM is all "nobody panic, about half of plague cases in the US happen to someone else." What was even funnier when everyone lost their absolute minds over plague in NYC only to discover LOL nvm it was just a couple New Mexicans hauling their pestilence on vacation. I fuckin' grew up with plague. It is a disease easily conquered by fucking sanitation. My sister spent two weeks in the ICU with hantavirus; that shit's nastier because nobody knows where it comes from but what they both have in common is they only become epidemics when sanitation absolutely shits the bed at which point you're already dealing with cholera and who knows what else so you know what? If you don't know anyone with cholera you don't really need to worry about pneumonic, septicemic or bubonic plague (and yes, NM schoolkids get to learn all three of them about 3rd grade because growing up in Breaking Bad country is tits, lemme tell ya) but you know what? I am now eat-lunch-regularly friends with two people whose kids have had friends murdered by active shooters in their high schools and the law of averages dictates I'm not the only one so when I say the fuckin' Black Death doesn't concern me but awkward teenagers who mistake an AR for their penis? Fuckin' plague. You have power against the fuckin' plague.
This plague alarms me more than facadism. Do you have a Google alert on "plague" or something, mk?
