Bubonic Outbreak in China

Someone in China thought he wants BAT in his dinner, and while the world is facing the circumstances yet, someone somewhere in China decided to ear Marmot.

 And guess what? it spread a new plague. Bubonic plague.

Infamous plague of bubonic plague, or Black Death, the deadliest outbreak in the history of mankind hit Europe in the 14th century has killed more than a third of the human population in Europe. 

Report:

According to CNN,

now after centuries, China has confirmed its first case of bubonic plague in a city of MONGOLIA, and that city has been on high alert since then. Xinhua news agency has reported one suspected case of the bubonic disease. The city has been on level 3 high alert implemented by the local government.

Xinhua reported further that the particular case was taken under consideration and was isolated on the 7th of July, and is stable now.

Causes:

Alexandre Yersin, the student of Louis Pasteur, has discovered the bacterium Yersinia Pestis in 1894, years after it had killed millions of people in Europe. He claimed that this bacterium is transmitted by ground rodents including marmots, It has been transmitted of Fleas through rodents. By consuming raw or not properly cooked rodents it can transmit to other mammals as well.

After it gets in humans it can be transmitted from human to human. Poor hygiene can spread it more rapidly.

Symptoms:

Bubonic plague can cause painful swollen lymph nodes. Fever, chills, and coughing may also occur.

In severe cases, it can cause gangrene. While mostly it happens with vomiting, diarrhea, bleeding from nose rectum, and mouth.

Treatment:

Nowadays treating this plague is not a big deal because Antibiotics have been found very effective.

These include aminoglycosides such as streptomycin and gentamicin and tetracyclines, doxycycline, and ciprofloxacin.

Authorities:

While the world got terrified by the name of another outbreak the WHO spokesperson Margaret Harris told in a united nation press briefing in Geneva;

We are monitoring the outbreak in china and we are watching the cases closely in partnership with chinese and mongolian authorities. 

We are looking at the case numbers in china, they are well managed.

Bubonic plague has been with us from centuriesand will always stay with us. 

But rigth now we are not considering it a High-risk. she added confidently.

Byannur health authorities are urging people to avoid human to human transmission and should stop hunting and eating animals that can cause infections and diseases in the human race.

BUT one or another way it should be taught to the Chinese that there are many other things to eat other than wild animals. Not everything that exists should end up in their mouth. And not everything that moves should be eaten.
