Black Plague: History's Worst Biological Disaster | Mankind: The Story of All of Us (S1E5) | Full Ep
🦠 Plague Today:
-
The plague still exists in the modern world, but it is rare and treatable with antibiotics.
-
It is caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, the same one responsible for historic outbreaks.
-
There are about 1,000–2,000 cases worldwide reported each year (per WHO estimates).
🌍 Where It Still Occurs:
Plague cases still happen in parts of:
-
Madagascar
-
Democratic Republic of Congo
-
Peru
-
United States (mainly rural areas in the Southwest like Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado)
⚕️ Modern Context:
-
The disease is no longer considered a major global health threat.
-
Prompt antibiotic treatment usually leads to full recovery.
-
Public health systems are generally well-equipped to detect and manage outbreaks.
So yes — the plague still exists, but thanks to modern medicine and hygiene, it’s a very different reality than it was in the Middle Ages.
