Why a global pneumonic plague outbreak is unlikely
Original: Why a global outbreak of pneumonic plague is unlikely
Experts are explaining that a worldwide outbreak of pneumonic plague remains unlikely, despite periodic detections of the disease. Pneumonic plague, the most serious form of plague, can spread between people through airborne droplets, but it is treatable with antibiotics when caught early, and global public health systems are well practised at containing outbreaks quickly.
Why now: Public interest in plague risks typically spikes whenever new human cases are reported or coverage of the disease resurfaces.
