Intressant info om denna variant som jag antar dom menar.. misstänker(?). Om än en del redan tagits upp här.
"How is pneumonic plague transmitted?
Pneumonic plague is the only form of the bacterial infection that passes directly from person to person. Respiratory particles carry it when a person coughs or sneezes. Droplets from infected animals can also transmit it.
"What are pneumonic plague symptoms?
With pneumonic plague, particles lodge in the lungs and can trigger
severe pneumonia, making breathing difficult. Symptoms can begin within 24 hours of infection.
Other symptoms include fever, chills, headache, body aches, dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea
Without treatment, it is nearly always deadly .
How is pneumonic plague treated?
Doctors can treat plague with at least 10 to 14 days of antibiotics. Most commonly they use ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, gentamicin, and streptomycin.
Patients that get antibiotics within the first 24 hours of infection have the best chance of surviving.
Doctors may also support someone with supportive care and provide supplemental oxygen, fluids and encouragement to rest." Kommentar; (ECMO alltså). Men jävligt känsligt om det kommer in en sådan smitta i sjukvården.
"Is there a vaccine for plague?
Although plague vaccines have been in use since the 19th century, it wasn’t clear they offer protection from pneumonic plague.
The WHO doesn’t recommend vaccination, except for high-risk groups such as laboratory personnel who are constantly exposed to the risk of contamination
