Two People In China Got The Black Death Plague—But Chances Of Another Pandemic.

One of the deadliest pandemics in human history, the Black Death plague, has cropped up again with two cases recently reported in China

A city in northern China on Sunday sounded an alert after a suspected case of bubonic plague was reported, according to the country's official media. Bayannur, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, announced a level III warning of plague prevention and control, state-run People's Daily Online reported.

The health commission in Bayannur in Inner Mongolia raised its public health warning to its third-highest of four alert levels on Sunday and banned the hunting, skinning and transportation of rodents that might carry the bacteria, known as Yersinia pestis. The municipal government raised its alert level by one notch to “standard plague outbreak alert,” which means humans have been infected.

“There is a risk of a human plague epidemic spreading in this city,” Bayannur’s health commission said in a statement.

What are its symptoms?

 A person infected with bubonic plague will experience the following symptoms — swollen lymph nodes, which can be as large as chicken eggs, in the groin, armpit or neck. They may be tender and warm. Others include fever, chills, headache, fatigue and muscle aches.
