On the Black Death pages, Signs and symptoms has a pretty good picture of a human body and organs targeted.-- Jonthecheet ( talk) 20:39, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
How can the disease be "eradicated" from a country that still has cases, even occasional? There are reports today that China has quarentined an entire town due to this illness. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.181.161.250 ( talk) 19:38, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2014/07/23/Chinese-City-Sealed-Off-Due-To-Bubonic-Plague — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.103.229.12 ( talk) 00:09, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
Bubonic plague, aka Black Plague: only contagious when poor hygiene and poor pest control allow fleas and black rats to flourish in close proximity to humans (where there is no fleas OR no rats, there is no chance of infection), 30-50% untreated fatality rate. Very low risk of epidemic spread when basic pest control and body/clothing hygiene is undertaken.
Pneumonic plague: SEVERELY contagious (similar virulence to common cold), spread by post-bubonic metastasis to lungs (~1% of bubonic cases) but mostly by aerosol droplets from coughs (which is a major symptom of the disease), symptoms mimic bronchitis or flu, 100% lethal if not treated within first 24 hours, death within 3 days (extremely fast). More lethal, more virulent, and faster death than Ebola Zaire virus. Potential for catastrophic pandemic spread via coughs and face-to-face contact with infected individuals.
This was notes I made from an article on plague. I'll see if I can find a place to add it. Bullzeye contribs 02:03, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
The present Ukrainian "pneumonic plague" story is being reported in the Daily Express. However, it also seems like the people propounding this story are confounding it into a conspiracy theory involving chemtrails and biological weapons.
Certainly I'd strongly discount any story coming from the countries of the former USSR, given the paranoid conspiracy theories that originate from there and the laughable standards of their press, at least until this information is verified (or disproven) by someone in the West with some standards of honesty. I hope that some editor with this page on their watchlist will vigilantly watch the page for the next few days to make sure craziness doesn't appear in this Wikipedia article.

i disagree from mainstream news russia today http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXcPr3QzChs&feature=player_embedded —Preceding unsigned comment added by Manchurian candidate ( talk • contribs) 08:01, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
Manchurian, I think you'll find that AllGlory is young, lived most of his life in America and has an "attitude" - i.e. does not interact respectfully and soberly but instead dismisses honest people and calls them crazy and insults them. He'll have no problem insisting that the people at Russia Today are all crazy and stupid, unlike himself, who he believes to be mentally healthy and super-intelligent. Basically, he's got low self-esteem, and needs to demean and insult others to protect his ego. These people treat other people very badly and are very unwise and immature. They fear ridicule above all else and constantly dish it out to others. Very immoral, actually, but part of the cocky attitude is a rejection of decent, moral, respectable behavior. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.230.16.163 ( talk) 09:57, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
I have tagged it for moving. The article deals with bacterial plague, not with viral influenza as the section does. Dysmorodrepanis ( talk) 22:00, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

It seems like this statement, tacked on at the end of the section, is both unnecessary detail and not accurate. The outbreak wasn't cause by a pitbull, but rather a flea that was previously on another animal that was then on the pitbull. So what does the dog breed (which is a controversial breed) have to add to the article. Nightmarymke ( talk) 02:53, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
Per "pneumonic form may occur following an initial bubonic or septicemic plague infection"
So avoiding rodents prevents the bubonic and septicemic form and thus would prevent the pneumonic form.
