THE BLACK DEATH AND PLAGUE IS BACK

The Black Plague claims a 2nd life in Chinese town

08/02/2009

A second man has died of Pneumonic or Black plague in northwest China, in an outbreak that prompted authorities to quarantine an entire town where about a dozen people were infected with the highly contagious deadly disease, a state agency said.

The man who died Sunday was identified as 37-year-old Danzin from Ziketan, the unfortunate town in Qinghai province, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
Danzin was a neighbour of the first person who died, a 32-year-old herdsman.

More than 10 people, mostly relatives of the first dead man, are infected and undergoing isolated treatment in hospital, Xinhua said in a report late Sunday. The patients fortunately do not have to worry about cost as China has healthcare for more than the last 50 years.

The town of 10,000 people has been placed under quarantine and a team of experts was being sent to the area, paid for by the Government it said. The local health bureau warned Sunday that anyone with a cough or fever who has visited the town since mid-July should seek treatment at a hospital.

Pneumonic, a form of Bubonic or Black plague is spread through the air and can be passed from person to person, according to the World Health Organization. It is caused by the same bacteria that occurs in bubonic plague—the Black Death that killed an estimated 25 million people in Europe during the Middle Ages when there was no healthcare.

It is not yet clear if President Obama's Healthcare proposals will be enacted in the US before the Black Plague arrives there.











And a track to comfort those worried about the cost of the plague to the taxpayer!.
