There have been 31 reported cases of Bubonic Plague in the country of China between 2009 and 2019. An average of 3 a year in a country that has, roughly, about 1/7th of the world's population.
There has been a reported case in Inner Mongolia. The affected village has been sealed off.
In the US, there has been an average of 7 plague cases between 1970-2018 (range of 1-17), 80% in bubonic form.
Hence the nursery rhyme "Hush little baby"
