..and pestilences,.. Matthew 24:7
"While the world continues to focus on the COVID-19 pandemic, several
other (far more deadly) viruses have made emerged in Africa - the most
recent among them being bubonic plague, which has
killed at least 31 people and sickened over 500 in the Biringi area of
Ituri Province in northeastern DR Congo between November 15 and December
13, according to AFP, citing Ituri Health Minister Patrick Karamura.
Aside from five instances of pneumonic plague and two cases of
septicemic plague - which occurs when the disease spreads to the lungs
or blood, the vast majority of cases were bubonic plague - with younger people 
suffering the most.
The average age of patients has been 13, with the youngest being a
three-month-old baby, according to Anne Laudisoit of New York-based
Ecohealth Alliance.
The latest outbreak in Ituri Province began after massive numbers of rats began to die, which had been infected by fleas, which have since began biting - and infecting, humans with the disease." ZeroHedge
