So, it's possible that everyone without access to Anti-biotics on earth might die during the next year as of now.
begin quote from AI Overview
Pneumonic plague is a severe, rapidly progressive lung infection caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis.
Key Facts
- Definition: It is the most virulent and dangerous form of plague. It affects the lungs and can spread directly between people.
- Transmission: It spreads through the air. An infected person or animal coughs or sneezes tiny droplets containing the bacteria, and another person inhales them. It can also develop as a secondary infection if bubonic or septicemic plague spreads to the lungs.
- Symptoms:
Signs start one to four days after exposure. They include a sudden
fever, headache, weakness, chest pain, shortness of breath, and a cough
with bloody or watery sputum.
- Treatment: It is nearly 100% fatal if left untreated. However, recovery is very likely if powerful antibiotics are given within 24 hours of first showing symptoms. According to the World Health Organization, standard antibiotics easily cure the disease today.
