I don’t think anyone predicted this one as the next 2020 “event.”

Not sure how many of you are marmot hunters (yee haw!) but if so, be careful out there!

Fortunately, plague is easy to treat nowadays.

Tell that to the squirrels and marmots!

Hantavirus in rodents is worse.

People got tired of Corona, so...

"Release the Plague Squirrels!"

Plague happens more often than you think. Every year, there’s a story. Here’s one from 2017 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.fo...s-found-to-be-carrying-plague-in-arizona/amp/

EDIT: Here’s one from 2015 with squirrels. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.la...rrel-lake-tahoe-20150908-story.html?_amp=true

If I'm going to carry something, it's going to be my wallet.

Back in the day (yes warning about hip wader tales) I lived in Georgia posted at Ft Stewart. Lived in a house in Hinesville and the armadillos just drilled the lawns. Lets just say an eradication effort ensued that reduced damage. Maybe our proximity to a golf course had something to do with that.

The best plague clip in movie history.
