<h1><span class="date">1899: </span> <span class="title">Bubonic plague diagnosed in Honolulu’s Chinatown</span></h1>
|
||
<p>After a shopkeeper in Honolulu’s Chinatown is diagnosed with the bubonic plague, the Territory of Hawai‘i’s Board of Health declares a state of emergency as more cases are identified. The outbreak is likely due to flea-infested rats disembarking from ships, and the flea-borne bacterial disease spreads in the squalid conditions of Chinatown. Business leaders are unsympathetic and turn against Chinatown.</p>
|
||
<p>“Plague lives and breeds in filth and when it got to Chinatown, it found its natural habitat.” —Dr. C. B. Wood, Board of Health, Territory of Hawai‘i</p> <!-- Theme -->
