Panic has ensued in Madagascar where a recent outbreak of the plague has claimed the lives of at least 24 people. Prime Minister Olivier Mahafaly Solonandrasana has announced a ban on all public gatherings and demonstrations in effect until the outbreak can be contained.

The plague is a deadly disease caused by the Yersinia pestis bacteria. It usually begins as the bubonic plague, which is spread from small mammals (such as rats) and fleas to humans. If detected early, the bubonic plague can generally be treated and controlled with antibiotics and proper environmental measures. However, half of all reported cases in Madagascar are the pneumonic plague –- the deadliest form of the disease.
The pneumonic plague is transmitted person to person. Since this form of the plague is airborne, it spreads extremely rapidly and can have catastrophic consequences. Those who contract the pneumonic plague must be treated immediately as it can be fatal within less than 24 hours of onset.
Health officials in Madagascar are now rushing to identify anyone who has come into contact with those affected. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), those at risk will be treated with antibiotics and possibly quarantined.
Formerly known as the “Black Death,” this is the same plague that claimed the lives of 50 million Europeans during the Middle Ages. The disease first reached Europe in October 1347 and quickly turned into a contagion that destroyed nearly 1/3 of the population.
Ensure safe burial practices……just dump the bodies on a liberal doorstep.
LOL
The Progressive should love infectious diseases since after all they don’t discriminate in who their victims are….
Well, actually….

CCR5-d32 mocks leftist claims of equality.
Run fast, run far.
But… they can’t turn black – they’re already 1/2 way there.
We had 16 cases in the US in 2015. It’s an equal-opportunity pestilence.

Yeah, and it’s an annual problem in various parts of the world. Cue doomsdayers trying to make it a “thing.”
Cue “Won’t you please help these poor innocent people in their time of need?” ” For pennies a day, you can make a difference!” Call now 1-800-got-taken…. operators are standing by……….
There fixed it………..
Fiat,do not forget if you help,they send a picture of the person you are helping,now,say you go broke,do they send pictures of the person wasting away from the plague?
I will say I had no idea a form of the plague could be airborne and passed from person to person that way,tis a creepy thing.
Oh, great. This is all we need.
I’ve seen signs warning about the plague at Bureau of Land Management campgroundsin CA, UT, and AZ over the years. I guess there’s always a little bit of it around.
A guy with the middle/last name of Mahafaly Solonandrasana has a first name Olivier? WTF?
Call me rayyciss, but I’m rooting for that Yersinia pestis bacteria.
Quarantine the dark continent.
Few years back a gv employee found a dead cougar, took it home friday to preform a autopsy, he was dead by monday, cougar had died of plague. Don’t ask me how, but that is the story that was reported in northern Arizona. http://www.theonion.com/americanvoices/plague-fatality-in-arizona-15342
What’s that saying .. don’t eat where you piss and shit …or bad things happen . Don’t Screw other men in the ass is another good idea.
Geez, aren’t you a spoil sport.
Is it okay to screw women in the ass?
only if you want to sire a lawyer–
Call me suspicious, but I just wonder if these plague deaths have anything to do with scientists wanting to resurrect diseases that died out long ago and “evaluate” them or even weaponize them.
The “authorities” now say Pneumonic Plague is spread by transfer from person to person, like a cold virus. But that contradicts what happened in London during the Restoration period, which experienced both Bubonic Plague and Pneumonic Plague. The books I have read say it was spread by fleas that were infected by the virus. The fleas then infected black rats, which came into contact with people, especially in their wooden homes. But after the 1665 plague outbreak in London, the black rat, which was not immune to plague, was quickly being displaced by brown rats, which were arriving on ships from Asia and the Middle East, and the brown rats were immune to the disease, so they didn’t get the disease from the fleas and didn’t spread it, helping in the decline of the disease. In fact, in London, where there were multiple wooden houses in which rats loved to dwell, the Great Fire, which followed the “Great Petulance,” killed many of the rats. And following the fire, and the passing of a law that outlawed wooden houses in the city and declared that all newly built houses had to be made of brick and stone, the disease died out there completely. It lingered a few years more in the countryside, but with the displacement of the black rats by the brown, it died out completely in England.
So why wasn’t Bubonic Plague the only type of plague that died out? If Pneumonic Plague was carried from person to person, why didn’t it continue during that age without antibiotics?
On top of that, I don’t recall dogs and cats dying of the plague during the Middle Ages and during the English Restoration. I have read numerous accounts, including first-person accounts, and there is never a mention of this. There was a theory during the Restoration that dogs and cats “caused” the disease, and many dogs and cats were killed. But there is never a mention that the dogs and cats died of the disease itself. Perhaps I missed something. And according to Wikipedia, their accounts of dogs and cats dying of the disease only dates back to 1984. Funny that.
Are the Malignant Overlords funding that research with our money?
Perhaps they are getting concerned with the graphs of the runaway population growth? 4 billion Africans soon, invading THEIR back yards in their castels, chateaux and schlosses.
