The Plague Is Still Very Much Alive in The US — Here’s the Annoying Reason Why

The plague is often relegated to the distant past, a fatal super pathogen of a bygone era that left millions dead in its centuries-long wake. In reality, the plague-causing bacteria Yersinia pestis still lurks in many parts of the world, including in the United States. Earlier this month, health officials in Central Oregon announced the first human case of the plague in the state since 2015.

The unidentified individual from Deschutes County was diagnosed with bubonic plague, the most common form of the disease that infects lymph nodes and starts with flu-like symptoms like fever, chills, and headache. Health officials stated the individual was likely infected by a pet cat, an animal highly susceptible to contracting and spreading the bacteria to humans.

True Detective: Night Country only has six episodes, while every other season have had eight. But what this season lacks in runtime, it more than makes up for in atmosphere and spooky moments. Season 4 is by far the most supernatural season yet, which makes the finale all the more difficult to pull off: will all the surreal happenings get explained, or will it be left to interpretation?

We compiled every remaining mystery left in the path of Detectives Liz Danvers and Evangeline Navarro, from the huge mysteries looming to the annoying loose ends.
