Saw this yesterday and wondered, just for a moment, whether nature had received a helping hand in the waning days of the last Administration.

teh article wrote:
Now al-Qaeda chiefs fear the plague has been passed to other terror cells — or Taliban fighters in Afghanistan.


Let it be so.

Has this story been confirmed outside of The Sun?

I'm not sure how valuable a bubonic plague weapon would be, anyway. The disease responds to antibiotics and we know considerably more about treating it than they did back in 1350.

Edit: Interesting writing... hehe
The Sun wrote:

[...]
It can be in the body for more than a week — highly contagious but not revealing tell-tale symptoms.
It's the kind of disease that kills within hours and takes a week to show symptoms. I guess that symptom is the advanced decay of your week-old corpse.

Yeah, one thing I've never heard about plague is that it can have a 7-day incubation time.

And yet, the CDC has this to say about it:

Quote:
Q. What is the incubation period for plague?
A. A person usually becomes ill with bubonic plague 2 to 6 days after being infected. When bubonic plague is left untreated, plague bacteria invade the bloodstream. When plague bacteria escape the person’s immune defenses and freely multiply in the bloodstream, they can spread rapidly throughout the body and cause a severe and often fatal condition called septicemic plague. Infection of the lungs with the plague bacterium causes the pneumonic form of plague, a severe respiratory illness. The infected person may experience high fever, chills, cough with bloody sputum and breathing difficulties. Although pneumonic plague may occur secondarily as a consequence of untreated bubonic or septicemic plague, it also can result from inhaling infectious respiratory droplets or other materials. The incubation period for pneumonic plague cases acquired by inhalation is usually about 2 days. If plague patients are not given specific antibiotic therapy, the disease can progress rapidly to death.


So I reckon it depends on whether you was bit or coughed on.

The Sun has been arguably the most malign influence on British politics and people in the last 15 years. It's a far-right populist tabloid that makes its money by alienting and demonising the most vulnerable groups in society. It's amazingly hypocritical, constantly bleating about pedophiles while having a naked 18 year old on the 3rd page on a daily basis. It claims to be "for the people", and yet never misses an opportunity to denouce "welfare scroungers", "chavs", or "feral youths". It employs some of the most revolting columnists on the planet (Richard Littlejohn and that John Gaunt ****) who peddle their xenophobic ignorant politics on a daily basis. It's vindictive, insulting, bigoted, snobbish, moralistic, holier-than-thou, populist and weirdly proud of it. It has 0 credibility amongst any journalists, even amongst those working there, or amongst people with an IQ over 15. It helps to foster a climate of fear, hatred, suspicion, xenophobia and division amongst society. And it's owned by Rupert Murdoch.

I hope it catches that bloody plague.

You know, I've been in this bloody country for nearly 20 years, and I still have a strong French accent. Even when I'm not chatting to girls. I could never have been a spy Smiley: frown.

Also, did I mention it had the biggest circulation of any newspaper in the UK? And that even its sports pages are ****? Even in there, they manage to be byest and xenophobic and stupid. And it takes quite a lot to be stupid about football, it's not a complicated game, and it's pretty subjective for the most part. And it also takes quite a lot to be xenophobic in the English Premier League: most of the clubs' directors, managers, and players are foreigners. Without foreigners, what would be left of the English Premier League? Nothing. Except the English national team I suppose, and they've been **** for what, 45 years now?

In other news, we got a new intern starting today in the office, and she's American! And quite cute, if slightly chubby. You guys know her?

Is it bubonic or pneumonic? They're two very different types of plague.

They're the same bacteria, though.
