Is the black plague still around n this era?

Question

explain please

Answer 1

If the bubonic plague was the black plague (there is doubt - several other diseases are possible) it is still around. An outbreak started in California 80-90 years ago and has been moving east since then. It should reach the east coast in 15-25 years. Infections is mostly in animals. Less than 10 humans per year. But what will happen when it reaches the dense populations of the northeast?

in a high containment ficility in fort bragg maryland .

along with most other diseases.

Answer 3

Yes it does and I have seen posted warning in campgrounds warning people to keep their tents and bedding away from ground squirrel holes.  You can get the plague still we do not all have immunity but some people do.  There is treatment however.  Blessed be.

Answer 4

The actual Black Plague as we have heard it told is not around, but we are WELL on our way to a brand new strain with the OVER-USE of the Broad Spectrum Antibiotics we use to try and "Cure" Drug-Resistant" Infection. It's only a matter of time. Basically a Catch-22

Answer 5

if there will be another black plague outbreak the human casualties won't be so high because scientists would develope a cure for the dreaded disease. in the 14th century this disease claimed the lives of 16 million europeans that number was 1\3 of europe's population. in recent times there were no serious outbreaks of black plague :)

Answer 6

It still most likely exists, but we do not contract it because we have all built up an immunity to it over time. Eventually natural causes will make it all deteriorate, but as of now, its still there.

Answer 7

Watch out for rats, garbage, and waist.

Answer 8

Black Death or Bubonic Plague is still around, though very rare. It is transmitted by infected fleas on rats and squirrels. Today it is treatable if caught in the early stages. If you are camping or hiking the use of a flea and tick repellent and appropriate clothing decreases the risk immensely. In the middle ages it was so prevalent because of lack of sanitation. They threw garbage in the streets and the rats lived off of it, people did not bath or wash their clothes regularly which attracted  the fleas. Today people are fastidious  about cleanliness. Again diminishing the risk.

Answer 9

I'm sure it is.  We don't see it, (thank you antibiotics and household cleaners) but the cause of the condition still exists.  A monkey in a Colorado zoo died last year of Bubonic Plague.
