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.

Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.
