They are now receiving treatment in Beijing's Chaoyang District, and authorities have implemented preventative control measures. Plague, caused by bacteria and transmit...

Three people have just come down with the plague. Yes, the plague. In China, two patients were diagnosed with the infectious disease earlier this month. While they've been receiving treatment in a hospital in Beijing, the news of the diagnosis has reportedly sparked panic among citizens there. Public health officials have been working to make sure the disease is contained, and the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention told Beijing residents not to panic because the risk of the plague spreading further is "extremely low."

New Orleans inbounded the ball down 112-110 with 5.3 seconds left, but Davis intercepted Pels guard Jrue Holiday's pass and was im...
