Today, when people say the plague as in a disease, they generally mean the Bubonic Plague.
However, there are three types of plague:
- bubonic - the kind with the swollen lymph nodes called buboes, that's where the name comes from
- pneumonic - this is transmitted by coughing and people usually die within 2 days of showing symptoms
- septicemic, which is in your blood and causes tissue to die.
Pneumonic is far more contageous and kills quicker than the other two, so that's arguably the worst.
If you mean the Plague as in the big pandemic that wiped out 1/3 of Europe in the 1350s, it was a mixture of bubonic and pneumonic.
Yes by a long shot.
To be cured from the Bubonic Plague you can use antibiodics. In the previous bubonic plagues when it was a plague there was no cure.
