A person in northern Arizona has died from a case of pneumonic plague, local health officials said.

The unidentified patient, from Coconino County, showed up to the Flagstaff Medical Center Emergency Department and died there the same day, Northern Arizona Healthcare said in a statement. It is unclear when the death occurred.

The hospital noted that “appropriate initial management” and “attempts to provide life-saving resuscitation” was performed, but “the patient did not recover.”

Rapid diagnostic testing led to a presumptive diagnosis of Yersinia pestis.

    You got a plan, oh distant, undervalued genius? Bring it on over. 🤌🏼 Most of us’d be more than happy to throw the crank on a guillotine for liberty. 🤷🏼‍♂️

      Sounds about on brand for Americans. Before you’ll lift a finger to help yourselves you’ll get belligerent and take out your insecurity on the people who have been telling you this was going to happen for decades.

          Cool, when they’re loading you into an unmarked van and you realize you did literally nothing to prevent it, you can comfort yourself with the fact that at least you got really defensive on the Internet.
