Thats just scary.... i didnt know that there were even cases in the US any more.
And the black death being used as bio-terrorism... thats just scary aswell.

The plague is very treatable with anti-biotics. Back in the medieval times, the plague wiped out thousands, due to the fact that no one had any idea how to treat it. Now, we know what to do. The plague is still around, but now a days we take better care of ourselves. Obviously this chick didn't shower or anything (stupid hippies).
Fear not young ones, you won't be catching the plague anytime soon.
