Two people just got the plague in China — yes, the Black Death plague

Actually, not *that* exciting. Pneumonic plague, the more doom-laden version of the same disease as bubonic plague, pops up with some regularity. But thanks to the anti-vaxxers and the masses of refugees fleeing crapholes like Syria and Guatemala and California and the like, diseases that had seemed to be virtually extinct are making comebacks. So along with measles and polio and typhus, expect to see plague return.
