I just read that the Bubonic Plague, aka Black Death has returned to the United States.

Can it get any worse???

I'm not sure why this is all making headlines.

The bubonic plague is always in the US, primarily in the southwestern states and still carried by rodents. On average, 7 people a year contract it but it's easily treatable with antibiotics now. Next time you're camping out in the desert, you can see the posted signs about it all over.
