A woman was hospitalized earlier this month with bubonic plague, the first confirmed human case in Los Angeles County in more than two decades, health officials said Tuesday.

I’m not sure what I find most disturbing here. That a woman was hospitalized with the plague… That “in more than two decades” means that some people were contracting the plague in Los Angeles during ’70s or ’80s… Or that the ’70s and ’80s actually were twenty years ago…

You know, it probably is the whole woman getting the plague thing.
