A member asked:

Is there a modern day epidemic that is similar to the bubonic/ pneumonic plague?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

There are a number : Of aspects of the Black Plague of the middle ages that are hard to match in the 21st century. In its spread and significant mortality rate and the dramatic angst that it caused, I would put the SARS outbreak up there.
