A new threat could be looming on the horizon

DANGER:  WHAT OFFICIALS JUST FOUND IN ARIZONA IS BONE-CHILLING!

As Arizona struggles with the death spiral of Obamacare, a new threat could be looming on the horizon.

According to Breitbart, public health officials in Navajo and Coconino counties have discovered something bone-chilling. Fleas in both counties were discovered to be carriers of the Bubonic plague.

The Bubonic plague, according to the WHO website, is a very deadly disease with a 30-60% mortality rate if it goes untreated. The Bubonic plague was known as the “Black Death” in medieval times and caused 50 million deaths in Europe, Africa, and Asia. 

Health officials discovered the plague when they were examining fleas in the Red Lake area in Coconino county last week. Fleas bearing the plague were also found outside the town of Taylor in Navajo county on Friday.

This isn’t the first time the Bubonic plague has been found in Arizona, according to International Business Times. In 2015 health officials learned of the plague’s existence after a drop in the prairie dog population, a rodent known to carry the disease.

That same year a young teen in Colorado died from the plague, according to CBS News. Though the disease is easily treatable with antibiotics, its rarity and resemblance to the flu early on caused it to remain undiscovered, and resulted in the teen’s death when it wasn’t properly treated. With such a high mortality rate, contracting and failing to treat the plague typically results in death.

An outbreak of the plague in Arizona would be further complicated by the declining state of health care, according to Arizona Capital Times. Premiums on Obamacare plans have skyrocketed, with some plans seeing a 116 percent increase this year.

The primary reason for Obamacare’s failure is the unwillingness of healthy individuals to pay for something they don’t need and can barely afford. These individuals are the primary source of funding for the millions of sick and disabled Americans relying on Obamacare’s subsidies.
