...pestilences, ...in divers places. Matthew 24:7
"State health authorities in Colorado are investigating a potential outbreak of the literal plague across a handful of counties, after it's believed a 10-year old girl died of the rapidly-acting disease. "The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment noted 
lab-confirmed reports of plague-infected fleas and animals in areas including La Plata County, where the 10-year-old died," Fox News writes based on local media.
It's the state's first known death from the plague since 2015, and scientists have now found the plague in tests of mammals and fleas from at least six counties,
including La Plata county - which includes the city of Durango, a
popular summer tourist destination in southwest Colorado. The counties
named include San Miguel, El Paso, La Plata, Boulder, Huerfano and
Adams, a Colorado Department of Public Health statement indicated.
"Public Health is doing an epidemiological investigation and wants
Coloradans to know that while this disease is very rare, it does occur
sometimes, and to seek medical care if you have symptoms,"...It spreads to 
humans through bites of infected fleas or through contact with infected animals via the bacteria Yersinia pestis, and causes severe symptoms which have a rapid onset.
Three main strains are recognized: Y. p. antiqua, which caused a plague pandemic in the sixth century; Y. p. medievalis, which caused the Black Death and subsequent epidemics during the second pandemic wave; and Y. p. orientalis, which is responsible for current plague outbreaks."
