At least there hasn't been a case here since 1939.
gophers are carriers of it. It's endemic amongst many of their colonies.
That totally won't get the people in the prairies to panic.
The virus is very nasty stuff and is very resilient.
Let the Zombie Apocalypse begin!!!
I am given to understand that in England there have been case where in Cathedrals where a number of black death victims were buried and attempts were made to renovate the place that it was discovered that Y Pestis the virus causing the plague is alive and well and has to be handled EXTREMELY carefully.

It's a bacteria, not a virus. And it is, to my understanding, an uncommon but regular occurance in the SW USA.

Thank you for the correction it is still nasty stuff though I haven't heard if it being a regular occurrence in The States. I'm going to look into it though.
From the article: "Oregon has about one human case a year, while the U.S. as a whole records an average of 11 cases a year, mostly in the South."
