It's pretty common for it to have happened to someone, in a given year. It's so unlikely to happen to any given individual, that it's not worth worrying about.

It is important to know that some places still have endemic infection in rodents.
For example, in a world were some people (even those of a medical background, looking at data) die of rabies because "oh look a wild animal approaching with a sad face, he wants a little cuddle" ("it's sick, madam").

(And I really would like to understand the reason under the following expression:
> though 50% of cases occur in people ages 12–45

Plague
Wasnt he the hacker in the The Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson
The girl with the dragon tattoo, The girl who played with fire and The girl who kicked the hornets nest.
Bubonic plague however is the most common form of plague worldwide.
According to the WHO, between 2010 and 2015 there were 3,248 cases out of the worlds population of 8.2 billion, of which 584 people died. so we can safely say we are safe
I love the word Plague, I keep saying it in my head.
The interpretation of "common" will vary:
> [In recent decades, a]n average of seven human plague cases are reported each year in the United States
> The last urban plague epidemic in the United States occurred in Los Angeles from 1924 through 1925
