Most people think of the plague as something from the past. I'm not sure if most people know that we have a handful of cases in the U.S every year.

Every year, a few cases in humans pop up. Most people in the US who contract plague are successfully treated and survive. Most cases come from flea bites from fleas that had fed on the rodent vector.

The midterms are over, and immigration fury is enough to rally "the base".

Move along. Nothing to see here.

Move on to the next fear.

A few people a year get it in the Sierra, the rodents are carriers. You take a course of $4 plan antibiotics and you're good as new.

Thanks for the info
