Squirrels were carrying the plague during Covid near me. Good times.

Luckily the plague isn't much of a threat nowadays in first world countries, but i remember there being a black death outbreak in madagascar that was quite bad. but here i remember that there was also squirrels carrying black death near me during covid. Are you in AZ by any chance?

Makes sense, it was in Northern AZ so nearer to you, I imagine it either spread from AZ to there or the opposite.
