As a general rule, if the infection is too lethal and kills most of the infected people: it is unlikely to spread far and wide.
Plus we already have effective antibiotics for bacterial infections. That was not the case with COVID19 virus.
Pneumonic Plague cannot become a global pandemic , it is far too lethal, person-to-person spread is inefficient, it is airborne in droplets but not aerosolised.
Distant spread is very unlikely.
We have good prophylactic antibiotics.
