      Plague is still around, but people don’t really die from it any more because of modern medicine.

      Very fitting that the Americans are about to get rid of modern medicine.

        There are three types of black death :

        Bubonic plague, you get in glands in your armpits - rarely fatal nowadays.

        Pneumonic plague in your lungs, which can be fatal if not treated early.

        Haemhorragic plague in the brain, which is almost always fatal. Its only painful for a day, then you don’t notice it. 40 days later, your brain literally explodes.

        There are places along the highway in northern California that have signs warning you not to walk into the forest because you could get the plague.
