Plague Strikes Town in China

Who said the plague is dead? It wasn’t me. For the full article, visit this page at abc news about the plague.

There are couple of points here:

1 – China quarantined the town.  If the outbreak had been in the USA, would the Federal, State or local Government been able to do the same thing?

Anyone remember the Swine Flu, and how the President refused to close the borders?  So the new disease was able to spread freely.  Good thing the swine flu was not as deadly as it was made out to be.

Lets say that there was an outbreak of the plague in New York city, would the entire city be quarantined?  Probably not.  People would still be allowed in and out, leaving gateways for the disease to spread.

2 – This is an ancient killer that people today may not take seriously.  Most people do not realize that modern medicine has its limits.  For some diseases, there is no cure, but some people do not learn that until its too late.

Lets say that there was an outbreak of a new disease in New York – would the city be closed, and would the people take the situation seriously?

Just a little food for thought.
