2020 is getting pretty good and by that I mean f*cking terrible.

It never went away; don't be afraid.

It's scaremongering. It pops up from time to time, in a variety of nations. It's a strain of virus that never left, but rather unsurprisingly, we have basic anti biotics and medicines to deal with it.

Yeah, it does that sometimes.

Globally between 2010 and 2015 there were 3248 documented cases, which resulted in 584 deaths (Wikipedia)

There's about 650 cases annually worldwide. The news is just clickbaity.
