[QUOTE]Test were carried out after at least 20 people in the village, near the north-western town of Mandritsara, were reported to have died last week.
The International Committee of the Red Cross warned in October that Madagascar was at risk of a plague epidemic.
The disease is transmitted to humans via fleas, usually from rats.
Bubonic plague, known as the Black Death when it killed an estimated 25 million people in Europe during the Middle Ages, is now rare.
Last year, Madagascar had 60 deaths from the plague, the world's highest recorded number.
The Pasteur Institute of Madagascar confirmed on Tuesday that tests taken from bodies in the village last week showed that they had died of the bubonic plague.[/QUOTE]

Pandemic lied to us.
'Disease has started in Madagascar'
- Said everyone who played & won Pandemic ever.
Nobody will be left to close the borders now.
What if we are living inside Pandemic II? Whoever started this game is a lucky bastard.
It begins.

do your part.
Fun fact, when I first played Pandemic, I actually managed to get Madagascar.
Australia, on the other hand, became the last place on Earth to hold life.

japan, madagascar, and buttfucking greenland always survive
"A hurricane is hitting Russia"
~Pandemic joke~
The Black Death is back for another tour?
The Mobile game of Pandemic is surprisingly quite good. Microtransactions though, I mean it's expect.
Anyway, GWS Madagascar.
Nowhere's safe now.
So, how likely is it that we can't contain this? I mean, will the old antibiotics still work, or is it possible that this is a new strain that's resistant to that? New Zealand recently discovered a completely antibiotic resistant disease, how far off are we from having an[I] antibiotic-resistant black death?[/I]

We can try some medieval remedies. Those guys were experts on the matter, right?
[quote]-If a person gets the disease, they must be put to bed. They should be washed with vinegar and rose water.
-Roast the shells of newly laid eggs. Ground the roasted shells into a powder. Chop up the leaves and petals of marigold flowers. Put the egg shells and marigolds into a pot of good ale. Add treacle and warm over a fire. The patient should drink this mixture every morning and night.
-Place a live hen next to the swelling to draw out the pestilence from the body. To aid recovery you should drink a glass of your own urine twice a day.[/quote]
Seems legit.
In unrelated news Madagascar closes it's port.
