Pneumonic plague in China

[AmandaBrown23]

I dont know if anyone has posted this yet, I didnt see it. Its really really scary.
From article:

A second man has died of pneumonic plague in northwest China, in an outbreak that prompted authorities to lock down a town where about a dozen people were infected with the highly contagious deadly lung disease, a state news agency said.

TY Amanda. This will need to be followed closely I think, China should have a handle on it hopefully.

 

[AmandaBrown23]

I sure hope so. We all know what happened the last time.

Amanda any updates on how contained this outbreak is so far? I haven't seen any TV news coverage, but then again I have been very busy lately.

here is an update, I dont think its spreading too quickly because only 3 people have died so far.
