A wave of concern has swept across the United Kingdom following a recent health scare that has reignited fears of a potential resurgence of the infamous Black Death. While the name evokes memories of a devastating past, the possibility of bubonic plague has unexpectedly captured public attention.
A UK health agency has admitted to an error after incorrectly stating that a person had recently contracted bubonic plague. Best known for causing the Black Death scare, the plague was responsible for the deaths of over 50 million people throughout Europe in the 14th century.
