Drug Treatment Centers in Oakland

Question by Ben: Did you hear about the man who died in China from pnuemonic plague?
I seen the story on yahoo about an hour before i posted this. apparently he got this type of plague (which is the 2nd most virulent and 2nd least common) and died. they did not say when he died. the story also says 11 people are currently in the hospital being treated with it. something worrisome..it’s caused by the same bacteria that killed about 25 million people in Europe in the 14th century. and it can be spread from person to person in the air. the whole city of 10,000 people where the people are infected and the man died is being quarantined and a group of experts are being sent there to analyze the situation. They are advising people that have been there and/or in the surrounding area since July 16th to go to the hospital if they develop symptoms. here is the story http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090802/ap_on_re_as/as_china_plague
