California Resident Tests Positive for Plague. What to Know About the Disease

That's a pretty common occurrence, especially in the mountains.
mdp2021•5mo ago
> pretty common

The interpretation of "common" will vary:

> [In recent decades, a]n average of seven human plague cases are reported each year in the United States

> The last urban plague epidemic in the United States occurred in Los Angeles from 1924 through 1925

https://www.cdc.gov/plague/maps-statistics/index.html

mdp2021•5mo ago
(And I really would like to understand the reason under the following expression:

> though 50% of cases occur in people ages 12–45

...that's already near half of the USA population.)

dlcarrier•5mo ago
It's pretty common for it to have happened to someone, in a given year. It's so unlikely to happen to any given individual, that it's not worth worrying about.
mdp2021•5mo ago
It is important to know that some places still have endemic infection in rodents.

For example, in a world were some people (even those of a medical background, looking at data) die of rabies because "oh look a wild animal approaching with a sad face, he wants a little cuddle" ("it's sick, madam").

Plague

Wasnt he the hacker in the The Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson

The girl with the dragon tattoo, The girl who played with fire and The girl who kicked the hornets nest.

Bubonic plague however is the most common form of plague worldwide.

According to the WHO, between 2010 and 2015 there were 3,248 cases out of the worlds population of 8.2 billion, of which 584 people died. so we can safely say we are safe

I love the word Plague, I keep saying it in my head.

Dont get bitten by a rat

If you imagined a counterfactual reality in which the plague had disappeared (it has not), in which death would the problem (that's subjective), in which the one in a million events would be literally negligible (they are not), then you would for some reason conclude that irrational label of "safety".

> Dont get bitten by a rat

That's not how it works.

Edit:

> I keep saying it in my head

Pretty please.
