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"
Given that few believe that the original numbers for this virus reported by China were actually correct, why should anyone believe their reported numbers on the plague?
If the numbers are so small and insignificant why are they being so up front at all, unless its to prepare the ground for the reality later?
