There is an increasing likelihood that the Bubonic Plague will become a reality in Los Angeles in the near future. No, this isn’t some wild theory. It’s based on basic scientific and medical facts. Doctors are sounding the alarm in various places in the media because this is a real threat.

Yes, we are talking about the same Bubonic Plague or Black Death that wiped out half the population of Europe in the 14th century. Yes, it is treatable with antibiotics, but it’s not that simple which will become clear in the videos and articles below.

Will Bubonic Plague Hit LA?

First up is a video of Dr. Marc Siegel explaining the current situation to Tucker Carlson.

After the video there is a list of articles from a wide range of sources.

Popular Science offers this cheerful title: You could get the plague (but probably won’t). However, read the entire thing.

For example, check out this section and think about the problem in Los Angeles as outlined in the interview above, especially as relating to the last paragraph.

According to the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 21,725 cases of the plague were reported from 2000 to 2009. Of those cases, about 7.5 percent were fatal. Most of them were in Africa. Just 56 individual occurred in the United States, of which 7 were fatal. Those cases occurred in Colorado, Arizona, California, Oregon, and Nevada, but mostly in New Mexico. As of 2015, the CDC has confirmed an additional 11 cases of the plague, sprinkled throughout those states (aside from Nevada) and one in Georgia.

The reason, according to Sandra Melman, is because of the specific rodent populations that thrive in the area. Melman says prairie dogs are particularly prone to the bacterium, with the plague wiping out 95 to 99 percent of affected populations. “When this happens, hungry fleas, rodents, and other animals take over the leftover food that the prairie dogs left. And they go back and forth from where the prairie dogs are to where humans are,” Melman says. “We call this an epizootic event.”

This is also the reason the plague is so hard to eliminate. “Once you have more than one host and vector, you would have to eliminate all rodents, fleas, and other animals that have come in contact, and that is nearly impossible,” Melman says.

It doesn’t sound like Los Angeles has the leadership to do what needs to be done. Neither does San Francisco. If someone doesn’t step up in these areas and take charge, we could start witnessing something even more horrific than what is already happening.
