According to US news This is the 2nd déath the in the us of plague.

Fucking America

digitalorality I don't know, is this headline supposed to be saying, Tit for Tat?

digitalorality sigh, we have bubonic here. The long known fact is accompanied by the warning NOT to touch slow moving animals in the desert...

Easily treatable with antibiotics.. Dozen cases a year in the states.. Almost a thousand in Madagascar.. Click-bait undeserved fear inducing BS

Hope he wasn’t a Democrat.

Next product has started to catch on...😱No way

What has happened to the ABC

😐

Without vaccinations, we are deservedly stuffed.

Can’t it be cured with antibiotics

Two 20 yo males, in New Mexico, have died from the plague in a month. The story seems to be a repeat but it isn't. It starts with one case & is easily spread amongst & detrimental to young people. Hopefully they'll id the origin, usually rodents.

It can be airborne, as well.

begins to look like ' 12 monkeys' plot'...

Plague is still a problem in different parts of the world.

'From 2010 to 2015 there were 3248 cases reported worldwide, including 584 deaths'

welosthim FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR

Must be the BLM vermin spreading disease

The Yanky plaque escaped out of a nearby military lab. US government has kept it secret and bribbed WHO to keep it quiet... Sounds rediculous doesn't it?

The plague is carried around by the squirrels. This is old news...........sensationalist journalism trying to freak out the old and vulnerable. SHAME ON ABC!

Covid started with one human case, but its been around for years, let the plague get loose, it kills peoples under 50, the younger you are the greater the odds of death.

ABC has become a tool of the current government to smear China. What a shame!!

2020 just keeps delivering, doesn't it?

2020 just doing 2020 shit

Sad, but we should educate more people to let them know the actual symptoms of this disease (not virus) as we can treat and cure plague these days. A young lad in Mongolia last week died of the same illness, he ate an animal he caught.

Not now, plague.

seriously? you're posting this AGAIN?

What plague?! FFS

One day it will just go away....like a miracle.

So ho had Black Death in 2020 Bingo?

No story here. It’s been endemic in the US since the third plague pandemic of 1899-1901. We even had it here in Sydney down near the old Darling St wharfs. Thankfully it never found a natural reservoir here

So when is America going to be great again exactly... Since the orange idiot took over things have only seem to have gotten worse.

I get you want to report this (kind of) but at least have the decency to put the fact this is entirely curable higher in the story than an afterthought at the end. Enough crap on my plate without sensationalist stories from the ABC. I'll go to the Herald Sun for that. fearporn

People die of the plague all the time. Stop trying to scare stupid people

I expect more from the abc than this, don’t provoke more anxiety in people.

Don't worry Melbournians we are safe. Like covid, fleas only bite between 8pm and 5am.

How good is 2020?

2020, you crazy

whilst we're at it ... please report all all the FLU deaths; regular, swine AND avian. thanks.

Fleas.. good for nothing but disease

Spread by mutant flying sharks

legalisetweed I was like why are they calling the virus the plague and then I was like.....oh

On average there are 1-17 cases of plague per year in the United States. With respect, I think the media needs to show more care towards their Audience. There is enough anxieties today to deal with.

Just gets better and better.

dearohdear abcnews auspol

Fuck.....that's all we need now. RIP.

Such is life

fearporn

Yes, the plague has never left, there are cases every single year all across the globe.

Happens on House all the time.

No, we have enough plague already. They can keep theirs.

You have to question is this because of the small amount of anti-vaxxers? 🤔

Beam me up Scotty.

there are 1-2,000 cases of plague annually reported th WHO. Are we seriously going to be reporting EVERY case of plague? That is 5 plague articles a day. Can your department of fear and propaganda keep up?

Dan Andrews fault.

Still fear porn, but at least it's not racist this time

Who is actually working at the ABC nowadays?

Its happens

Bring on the buboes. Why the fuck not.

Just sensationalism, happens all the time. The Plague is still around.

2020... ....Whatever......

This is a preview for September's DRAMA!

I'm out....

Hahahaha hahahahaha haha Hahahaha

Umm... I’m sorry, what?
