The bubonic plague, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, is not a thing of the past. While cases in the US are relatively rare, Oregon recently confirmed its first case in eight years. Officials suspect the infection was transmitted from a domestic cat to its owner, who became seriously ill but responded well to antibiotics. Symptoms typically start with flu-like signs but can progress to painful swollen lymph nodes, called buboes, and potentially life-threatening complications if left untreated.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has confirmed the fourth human case of bird flu linked to the ongoing dairy cow outbreak. This case, reported on Wednesday, concerns a dairy worker in Colorado, which follows previously reported cases in Texas and Michigan. Similar to the prior instances, the latest patient is a dairy farm worker who came into contact with cows that tested positive for the H5N1 strain of avian influenza. The worker was under monitoring due to their exposure to the infected cattle and reported symptoms to state health authorities.

Four poultry workers in Colorado have been diagnosed with bird flu, health officials confirmed Sunday. The new cases bring the U.S. total to nine since the first human case of the current outbreak was detected in 2022, also in a Colorado poultry worker. Eight of the nine were reported this year. Their illnesses were relatively mild — reddened and irritated eyes and common respiratory infection symptoms like fever, chills, coughing, sore throat and runny nose. None were hospitalized, officials said. The other U.S. cases have also been mild. A fifth person with symptoms is undergoing testing, but those results are not back yet, officials said. The workers were culling poultry at a farm in northeast Colorado, according to state health officials. All had direct contact with infected birds.

With an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, the U.S. experienced another violent episode in its increasingly polarized politics. Former President Trump, who’s about to formally become the GOP nominee for president in the 2024 election, survived the attempted assassination when, initial reports said, a bullet grazed his ear . But one rally attendee was killed , more spectators were injured and the suspected gunman is also dead. The Conversation’s politics editor, Naomi Schalit, spoke with University of Massachusetts, Lowell, scholar Arie Perliger after the event. Perliger offered insight from his study of political violence and assassinations. Given the stark political polarization in the U.S., Perliger said, “it’s not a surprise that eventually people engage in violence.”
