[ link to www.zerohedge.com (secure)] While the world continues to focus on the COVID-19 pandemic, several other (far more deadly) viruses have made emerged in Africa - the most recent among them being bubonic plague, which has killed at least 31 people and sickened over 500 in the Biringi area of Ituri Province in northeastern DR Congo between November 15 and December 13, according to AFP, citing Ituri Health Minister Patrick Karamura.

According to the World Health Organization, outbreaks are a regular occurrence of the plague which is caused by the Yersinia pestis bacterium and is endemic to the province where it was first confirmed in 1926. It works by traveling through the bloodstream and attacking the nearest lymph node before spreading to others - causing painful swelling which can sometimes cause the nodes to break open into 'buboes,' according to RT.
