There was an outbreak in South Australia in 1983.
You know those pictures of mice overrunning hay bales you see every now and then ? That’s old footage from the SA mice plague in 1983.

Then I was transferred to the bowels of the Royal Adelaide Hospital, basement level 2, through airlocks and these people in moon suits.
They kept it secret because in 1983 people though bubonic plague was a made up medieval thing like vampires and werewolves.
It wasn’t until an outbreak in India in 1991 that it became widely known as a real thing.
I had bubonic plague when I was 11.

Wow, that was fucking intense.
Also why the hell would people think it isn’t real? Unlike vampires and werewolves, the black death was a preposterously well-documented illness.
