  • The black plague has broke out in Madagascar. In late 2013, a deadly outbreak of the plague hit small villages around the country killing dozens of people. Rumored to have taken root in overcrowded prisons, the disease has flourished amid Madagascar’s increasing poverty and poor waste management. Antibiotics to treat the disease have been developed and are available in most countries, but Madagascar’s rudimentary healthcare system has left a number of people stranded without care.

      problem is kinda the opposite. There's no problem treating the plague in the countries the team came from, the antibiotics they are taking stops them catching or spreading it, so no quarantine needed. That's why rich countries were overall so unprepared for covid, cause they're used to these easy fixes & being able to take it for granted

      Rats were never the culprits in transmitting the plague to humans in epidemic proportions, as science has proven through several studies. Humans have always been the ones infecting each other. During the Glasgow plague they caught thousands of rats to study and not a single one was a plague carrier despite humans of the city having an epidemic going on.
      Rats mainly infect other rats if they have the plague. The entire rat created epidemic hypothesis was based on pre-scientific assumptions and not on evidence. The oriental rat flea can be carried by any mammal and there's a lot more species that come within flea jumping distance of humans than rats, and then the rest happens through human to human transmission.

      They say that because over there they don’t Do anything with the bodies like embalm the bodies. The dead are still contagious and they handle the body and everyone touches the body to pay respect. So yeah funerals there are risky unlike in the USA. Has nothing to do with being around other attendees and more to do with the close proximity people have with the dead body. That was also the same issue of why Ebola was such an issue in Africa when handling the dead, and why they tried to get people to stop doing traditional ceremonies for the dead during that time.

However, in a village so off the grid and without any connection to the outside world, not even the politicians or infrastructure of its country make its way there.. Consequently this has been the way they've been taught to survive. Loosing sympathy for something like this, shows the lack of sympathy in the first place. They sacrificed their most precious stock for the gratitude of being shown to the world that they exist and are in need for great help. Yet you opt out due to this, instead of trying to understand the reasoning behind it. Quite arrogant, too self absorbed to be able to understand/sympathise due to your way of looking/understanding the world and its way of things, including ethics/morals. These people have no modern technology, no education besides their upbringing and life lessons, no media and no health care except shaman like traditonal healers. Do you understand what kind of volume it speaks when a whole village shows such happiness and gratitude due to a helicopter landing journalists puts them on the map and expressed their way of living under harsh circumstances in these modern times? Imagine going through a corona virus epidemic that kills much faster (in general) and not knowing what it is and where and how to get help till its way too late for many villagers. For the survivors, it was very lucky and their gratitude and more shows how serious it was and their experience of it. If you were born in this remote village, would u despise your kin and neighbours due to the fact that they did this? And no.. I dont support these kinds of offerings, even tho it was most likely due to the fact that they wanted to give the journalists their most anticipated and most delicous dish they wish they could eat on a common basis but cant.

The only reason people don't know about it is because it happens in the third world where medicine and hospitals aren't as easily available. People don't care about these poor areas.

      @a tiny leaf You take 2-4 weeks of penicillin or an equivalent and you’d be fine. Madagascar isnt exactly the most well off place, nor is it at anything close to global technological or industrial/medical infrastructure parity. It’s not something to panic about.
      The gentleman above talking about weaponized plague lacks an understanding of how difficult and unattractive bacteria are to make into bioweapons. Viruses, due to their difficulty to detect, defeat, and their constant mutation as part of their lifestyle would make a far better medium. Antivirals have to be a lot more specifically tailored than antibiotics.

      I’d agree that’s a pretty odd description - maybe they meant its population, which is ten times less than Indonesia’s, speaking of, but it’s still around the same as Australia’s, so I still wouldn’t call it “tiny” or even “small” based on that, while if they were referring to size, like you say Madagascar is about the same size as the Northeastern US. I’d reserve their description for Tuvalu or Malta or something. I think they were really just trying to sound descriptive and missed the mark - I’d maybe choose “isolated,” or “impoverished” island nation (perhaps harsh, but true) instead.
