What Next?

A patient in northern China has died of the plague in China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region - the second death from the disease in the last week.

The victim died from multiple organ failure in a case of the bubonic plague on Friday, the Bayannao'er city health commission said on its website.

This comes after China's Inner Mongolia region saw another death from the plague in Baotou last week, leading the city to issue level-three epidemic warnings.

Following Friday's death in Bayannao'er, or Bayannur, the area where the deceased lived has been sealed off, the commission confirmed.

Bubonic plague is not a problem, it is treatable with antibiotic and so although it popped up here and there over the years, it was not something to get excited about.  Of course, should an antibiotic resistant strain appear that might me another story....

COVID has as much chance combining with plague as you do with a gum tree.  One is virus, the other bacterium.

Hello

That's exactly what I meant, thanks, Dom.

What if you've got COVID and you get the plague?

Yes, and you can also get tuberculosis, cancer, legionnaires, anthrax, or anything else nasty, while you have COVID19....  or you can get hit by bus.
