How fatal is Bubonic Plague?
A Bubonic Plague pandemic is reported to have wiped out more than half of Europe’s population in the middle ages. The plague pandemic is also known as ‘black death’. However, now with the availability of antibiotics, the plague is largely treatable. In case of delay in treatment, the plague has a case- fatality ratio of 30-60 percent. If diagnosed and treated on time, it has just 10 percent fatality rate.
