"The Plague" hasn't be scary since we discovered penicillin.
There's nothing quite as ridiculous as fear-addicts like the OP.
Penicillin would be useless with Bubonic plague. Bubonic plague is incurable, the reason why in Western nations Bubonic plague went away was because we developed more hygienic cities and reduced the vermin population.
Absolute nonsense. The bubonic plague is baterial. Antibiotics can treat and cure it.
Given the inaccuracies of your post, perhaps you should leave the medical diagnosis and treatment explanations to professionals.
Are you a Doctor now?
The comment was made that Penicillin cured the plague, Penicillin is useless against Bubonic plague, the antibiotics used for Bubonic plague are specifically Streptomycin, Gentamicin and Doxycycline.
Also 60% of people with Bubonic plague die, this is because someone with Bubonic plague needs treatment within the first 24 hours and most people who have Bubonic plague are in outposts in Africa where they do not have adequate medical facilities.
And your claim that it is incurable? Is that your medical opinion?
In those places it is because 60% of people die because of not having access within the 24 hour timeframe to Streptomycin, Gentamicin and Doxycycline.
This entire thread topic is grotesque and has turned me away from having my dinner, I was going to have my dinner hours ago and then I read the OP.
