Health officials in the United States have confirmed the first human case of bubonic plague in Colorado.
Given the devastation that the plague caused the first time around when it ravaged Europe, it’s hardly surprising that modern day cases make the news and cause some concern.
From 1347 to 1351, the bubonic plague killed between 30 to 50 per cent of the population of Europe, with estimated death figures ranging anywhere from 75 and 200 million people. Doctors at the time wore beaked plague masks in an attempt to breathe in “purified” air.

Bird flu has held the world’s poultry industry in its unrelenting clutches before, causing catastrophic losses of more than 50 million birds in 2015.

Even now in 2024, we haven’t yet curbed bird flu’s deadly spread—but those passionate about wildlife and disease prevention are doing their part to intervene and, hopefully, slow our many tragic losses of wild and domestic animals.

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.”
