Risk of 'bubonic plague' in China, also known as 'Black Death'

Beijing, Ta. 6 July 2020, Monday

There is more worrying news for the entire world battling the Corona virus epidemic. Now once again there is a risk of a dangerous and deadly disease spreading from China. The disease has killed millions of people worldwide in the past.

This deadly disease has struck three times in the world. The first time the disease killed 50 million people, the second time a third of Europe's population and the third time 80,000 people. Once again, the disease is on the rise in China, also known as the Black Death.

The disease is known as 'bubonic plague' and an alert has been issued in a hospital in northern China after a case of 'bubonic plague' was reported. A third level warning has been issued for the prevention and control of the plague in Bayannur, China's Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region.

A case of bubonic plague was reported at a hospital in Bayanur on Saturday. The local health department has issued the warning for the end of 2020 and people have been asked to remain vigilant. The disease is spread by bacteria found in wild rats.

This bacterium is known as Yersinia Pestis Bacterium. These bacteria attack the body's lymph nodes, blood and lungs. It causes the fingers to turn black and rot, and the nose to swell.

The Chinese government has expressed fears of a human plague in the city of Bayanur. Bubonic plague is also called glandular plague. It causes unbearable pain in the body, high fever. The pulse of the body runs fast and the tumor starts appearing in two-three days. The tumor heals in 14 days and the pain in the body after that is unbearable.

Bubonic plague first occurs in wild rats and after the death of rats the bacteria of this plague enters the human body through fleas. When a flea bites a human, it releases an infectious fluid into the human blood so that humans can become infected. The plague spreads to humans three weeks after the rats begin to die.

There have been approximately 3,248 cases of bubonic plague worldwide between 2010 and 2015, and 584 of them have died. Most cases have been reported in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Madagascar and Peru during these years. The disease was first reported in China, India, Russia, Africa, Latin America and South America between 1970 and 1980.

The bubonic plague was named the Plague of Justinian in the sixth and eighth centuries. At the time, the disease affected 2.5 to 50 million people worldwide. This was followed by another outbreak of the bubonic plague in 1347, at which time it was dubbed the Black Death. At the time, the disease affected one-third of Europe's population.

This was followed by the third bubonic plague in the world around 1894 and killed 80,000 people at that time. At the time its greater impact was seen around Hong Kong. There were about 700 cases of bubonic plague in five Indian states in 1994, killing 52 people.
