ReplyDeleteIt gives the list of Plagues by state, city and date. It shows that Boston was also seriously hit by epidemic diseases in the past centuries.
Here in Calcutta we faced a similar outbreak around 1993-94, but after that it is pretty much ok.
ReplyDeleteInteresting post.
ReplyDeleteWhen I lived in Madagascar we heard of plague in some rural areas. Taht was in the years 1987-89
ReplyDeleteNo epidemics here save the Bird Flu and J.E. Virus scares.
ReplyDeleteI found some interesting facts about the Bubonic Plague here. Check it out!
ReplyDeleteCould you please tell me where this plaque for the Bubonic Plague in Sydney is please? I am researching George McCredie who 'cleansed'the city of the plague and would love to know where the plaque is.
