The outbreak, the ‘worst in 50 years’, is being fueled by a strain more lethal than the one which usually strikes the country off the coast of Africa.
The World Health Organization (WHO) now states there are 1,801 suspected cases – significantly higher than the 1,309 it reported last Thursday.
Academics have revealed such a jump in cases over the period of five days is concerning and have predicted it could get worse. The most recent statistics show there have been 127 deaths.
Professor Robin May, an infectious diseases expert at Birmingham University, told MailOnline that ‘whichever way you look’ at the outbreak, it’s ‘concerning definitely’.
Analysis of figures by MailOnline show the epidemic could strike a further 20,000 people in just a matter of weeks, if current trends continue. It could be made worse by crowds gathering for an annual celebration to honour the dead earlier this week.
The ‘truly unprecedented’ outbreak has prompted warnings in nine nearby countries – South Africa, Seychelles, La Reunion, Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, Comoros and Mauritius.
Two thirds of this year’s cases have been caused by the airborne pneumonic plague and means it is spread through coughing, sneezing or spitting. It is different to the traditional bubonic form that strikes the country each year.
The Apocalypse will remind everyone why the modern tendency toward magnanimity in association is such a bad idea. Today it is considered a mark of modernity to freely associate with the tools, rubes, defectives, and imbeciles, making them feel as if they belong and are equals.
But the reality is when times are hard those morons are not only going to die themselves. They will take any poor schmuck who has had the bad luck to let their fortunes become intertwined with the fortunes of such morons. That is the origin of in-grouping, borders, xenophobia, discrimination, disgust, morality, cultural norms, and the general sense that inferior people need to be kept at arm’s length.
All of that will be coming back, because those who don’t exhibit it are not going to be long for the world of the Apocalypse.

As horrible as this sounds, the more I learn about history, the more I think not terminating all African natives during colonization was a mistake. Oh well.
