God damn. I thought bubonic plague was eradicated a century ago. I can't believe a teen could be infected with the plague in America. I'd perfectly understand it if it happened somewhere in China, India or another third world country. I hope it won't lead to another Black Death. It is the worst thing anyone can imagine. That's how Obamacare works; they can't even protect Americans from non-existent diseases.

The only disease that has been eradicated is Smallpox. All others are still quite dangerous and the plague is not uncommon in the Southwest of the USA.

Last human case was 1977, till now. Traces, which are still contagious have been found in 2004 and in some animals.

There is not cure but most the vaccines have been disposed of. Some labs are allowed to test samples of the virus and vaccines. The fear is that if it does occur in humans that it might be drug resistant and it will lead to a pandemic.

We should still be afraid of smallpox. Military still give vaccines for those serving in a few over seas bases.

Plague is easily treated with streptomycin or gentamycin.

However, there's no known cure for Obama Derangement Syndrome.

Yes.
The girl and her father hate Obama. They decided to go hunting for the sole purpose of visualizing Obama's face every time they shot their guns.
The trip would have never occurred if not for Obama.

Is this going to be like the internet panic when they showed pics of the ebola patients being flown home?

LOL You are blaming the ACA on this? You haven't got any critical thinking skills at all, have you?

So you are saying all of these cases occurred between 1970 and 1977? That's unlikely.

No.....it's just a wonderful opportunity to blame something on Obama.

Yep. Obama`s plan to spread Ebola throughout the country failed so now he`ll try the plague. I heard that from a crazy person.
