It still pops up every few years I believe, but doesn't spread much.

Ballgame.

Homeless camps and backyard chicken coops say otherwise.  

Eventually.

Case? As in one case? Big deal. Plague in China should be no surprise. The Central Asian rodent population is where the disease originates. 

Rodents in the western United States are a plague reservoir leftover from the pandemic that started in the late 1800's. Cases in the US alone can reach double digits per year

Armadillos. Leprosy.

Wash your hands, folks.

Yes, there was 1 case in New Mexico last year.  This happens and isn't something we have to worry about.
