THanks for finding that link...I was gonna look for it. From what I've read, the plague spikes after flu season. So, you know, it's just the usual flu season, then plague season...

"Plague got ya down? Tired of waking up with blood pouring from your eyes? Then try Thera-plague...by the makers of Thera-flu. The only product guaranteed to get rid of those pesky plague symptoms"

Original Message A man in Oregon has been infected with the plague, the same disease that wiped out up to 60 percent of Europe in the Middle Ages.

He caught the rare, but deadly, strain of the bacteria after he was bitten on the hand trying to pry a dead mouse from the jaws of a stray neighborhood cat.
The man, whose name was not released, is currently fighting the most horrific form of the disease, septicemic plague, which can cause victims to bleed from the mouth, nose and rectum, according to health officials.
