If it's plague, breathe a sigh of relief, because we know what to do about plague,
You’d be fine. You don't die, typically,
The protections we had in 2019, early 2020–there are now fewer of them, and we are more vulnerable now than we were then,

The U.S. has surpassed 3,000 measles–the highest number of cases in a single year since 1991–and the year is not yet over!”
