Fifteen-year-old boy dies of the Black Death in Mongolia amid increasing fears of an outbreak
A boy aged 15 has died from bubonic plague in Mongolia as dozens of people who contacted him are in isolation over the deadly disease. The fatality comes as Russia and China were warned that they are vulnerable to the spread of the Black Death. The unnamed teenager had a high fever after eating marmot meat with two friends. He died three days after eating the rodent meat, according to reports.
Over 80% of United States plague cases have been the bubonic form. In recent decades, an average of seven human plague cases have been reported each year (range: 1–17 cases per year). Plague has occurred in people of all ages (infants up to age 96), though 50% of cases occur in people ages 12–45. It occurs in both men and women, though historically is slightly more common among men, probably because of increased outdoor activities that put them at higher risk.

OMG, WTF are people still eating rodents for!
Rodents are plagued with a plethora of diseases.
Here’s some simple logic, if you eat a rodent, you will most likely get sick and or die.

would we have noticed this death in the United States was not in the midst of a covid-19 epidemic?

Bubonic plague pops up from time to time. Its not an uncommon disease. I think it popped up in New Mexico last year.
its easily treated with antibiotics. This poor kid must not have had adequate treatment in time. But we aren't seeing anything new here.

Holy smokes! It looks like the plague has arrived in the United States. Colorado to be exact.
