Summary: Recent Cases Of The Bubonic Plague

Recent Cases of the Bubonic Plague The Bubonic Plague didn’t quite vanish in the Middle Ages. In fact, we still see examples of the plague today. In September, 2015, there was a reported case of the Bubonic Plague. This was the 14th reported case in that year. It is unknown whether the plague was contracted in Colorado or Michigan, but it is known that there had been other cases in Colorado that year. Although there have been deaths associated with the plague in recent years, the disease is not nearly as serious as it was in the middle ages. This is because of our scientific advances in the medical field. We are able to treat the plague much easier and quicker today than we were able to in the Middle Ages. This is most likely one reason
why there have been very few (around 7 per year) total cases since the Middle Ages. Although the Bubonic Plague is most commonly known to be around the Middle Ages time period, it is still around today. The author of the article is trying to discuss the importance of this situation, but also making it clear that it is not a deadly disease anymore. This is displayed by showing that even though there were about double the average amount of occurrences of this plague in 2015, it was not much to worry about. The disease is very easily treated today, and not many people will die from getting it.
