When the plague first spread, the flies could easily live in out clothes. Plus we were much closer to the rats that carried the fies.
We do not come into contact with rats as we once did. And rat population is not as dense as it was.
The conditions are simply not there these days for it to spread.
But as I say its not the rats that spread it (they unfaily get the blame) its the flies that lived on the rats.

This is all true but you're forgetting one thing and that is humans don't get exposed to something from time to time, their immune system gets lazy and loses natural resistance against that particular virus, and viruses develop over time.
I think it's good, the world is over populated, we can use a few nasty viruses.
