Bubonic
Plague Reported in Michigan
This
article is about yet another American who has come down with bubonic plague.
This is now the fourteenth case of the plague nationwide during 2015. Media is
saying that the person who has just contracted the plague, did not contract it
from Michigan, but from Colorado where there has been the most plague/ outbreak
activity. The Michigan medical department will be keeping an eye out for any
other possible plague victims, as well as all medical institutions
nationwide.
Analysis:
This article, to me, is frightening. Though there hasn't been an extreme number
of cases, there is still a lot reported for the age of America we live in now.
Never would I have thought that the bubonic plague would still be going around
in America. This whole article relates back to colonial times where Settlers/
Native Americans/ Spaniards, and Europeans would contract this disease and
almost everyone who got it, would die. Though today not everyone who contracts
the plague dies but there is still a large risk and possibility. I think that
our medical institutions are doing everything in their power to help stop this
disease, but we can only hope that history does not repeat itself.
I completely agree. This is very frightening for the people of the U.S. but like you said, hospitals and medical institutions are doing everything they can to put a halt to his disease.
ReplyDeleteI agree, because I too did not realize that something as old and historic as the Bubonic Plague was still sprouting up today and infecting.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely, our nations nurses,doctors, and hospitals are doing anything in any possible way to stop this disease right in it's tracks.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the bubonic plague is frightening. It is concerning that a disease present in early U.S. history is still present in our time.

I think that it is hard for people today to imagine that the bubonic plague, the infamous disease that killed over a third of the population in Europe and caused the end to feudalism in England, could cause the same devastation today. If administrators, doctors, and other officials do not carefully monitor the situation, it could quickly get out of hand. Hopefully, this will not happen.

I know the plague was spread by rats, so thankfully it won't get as out of hand as it did before, but how did it come back in the first place?
