The black plague still exists

[JustAndy]

This poor guy has got the black plague from a stray cat that he took into his home that had a rodent infected with the plague lodged in its throat when he was attacked by the cat resulting in him being infected.

Yeah it still exists. The bacteria that causes it is still out there. Only difference nowadays we have anti biotics. Shame they didn't catch on to it sooner and treat it with the right antibiotics he may have still had his fingers.
