I didn't know about the Bubonic Plague outbreak in the US at the turn of the previoius century!
Interesting piece about how San Francisco handled the plague over half a decade.

Trigger warning: There are many references to white racism toward Asian people (because - history); but (spoiler alert) the heroes of the tale were also white. So you'll have to choose who you want to identify with: the white racists or the white heroes.

You'll want to get to the end to discover why the plague didn't spread like Covid 19 and wipe out 1/3 of the population of the US.
