The plague isn't history: where it still exists and how it's treated
Original: The plague isn’t history. Where it still exists, how it spreads and a cure
The plague has not disappeared. South China Morning Post reports that the disease still exists in parts of the world today, explaining where cases occur, how the infection spreads between animals and humans, and how it can be cured with modern treatment such as antibiotics. The piece aims to correct the assumption that plague is purely a medieval scourge.
Why now: Readers are surprised to learn a disease associated with the Middle Ages still causes cases today.
