that's been quite a while since I've heard of the Black Death.

You mean Bubonic not Phneumonic for Black Plague? And the bacteria has been around for ages.

Also not surprised that China is being the center of a disease epidemic/pandemic again, what with their population and health practices.

Edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumonic_plague Oh it's the same bacteria. Again, not surprised that it's China.

I hope it burns itself out before it becomes a major problem.

Don't worry about the burning part of that statement, nor the problem.
Soon, the whole city will be declared to have survived the plague by the Ministry of Information, and we can all sleep safely again.

They wouldn't even be lying, cause if you are incinerated before you die of the plague, you technically did survive the plague.

Well last time there was a huge breakout of the bubonic plague it just sort of went away on its own after killing a bunch of people. So we'll probably be fine.
