Bubonic plague has always been around though. There is an average of 9 cases a year in the US for instance. 2015 there were 16 in the US.
World wide there are between 600 and 700 caes per year annually.

Lately we keep being plagued by one thing or another from China.
Might not ever stop. Certain regions of the world don't have the controls on health and hygiene that we might be used to where we live, but a well prepared and organised response from competent health officials will stop the spread of such things within our countries. If governments act accordingly and prevent a disease's spread, it won't be an issue.
Woke up with a sore throat and it's getting worse. I have an appointment to be tested in half an hour. Don't think it's Covid but you never know. I'll let you know the results.

An interesting experiment to determine how effective mask are
Does This Photo Show the Difference a Mask Makes?

Positive thoughts, Marcel. Hope you are okay.
Well, not really. What you see is bacteria. They are a 1000 times bigger than viruses. Of course they are effective against bacteria. After all, that's why surgeons wear them. This is like saying "my fence can keep the cows in, so it should also be able to keep the flies out".
Edit: read the text and they agree with what I said. One thing I don't agree with is the droplets. This only measures big droplets and only up front. Korean scientists showed that with non-medical masks and most medical as well, turbulent air from coughing is redirected sideways, vortexing around the mask through the side. Had you had been standing next to this person wearing the mask, you would have gotten the full blast. Also the mask would have been soaked with mouth liquid and virus particles, so after this you should discard the mask.

Thanks for the well wishes, guys. Up until now the illness follows the normal pattern of a common cold. I still don't believe I've got COVID, but hopefully I'll get the results today.
