Hi
Agreed, the current isn't fitting for this one.
So-so on the current; I am inclined to call Keep Until Better Image Suggested though.
The suggestions are fairly tepid.

The current is terrible, but I'm not sure I like how crowded the OP suggestions are. @4 might work depending on what it looks like at wiki size. They look a little too busy for my liking as well.
Weeper Plague from Dishonored?
I'd be okay to cut with no replacement, tbh. But 6 is my fave so far.
Another possibility: a picture of a virus

Emphasizes the "something so tiny" part of it, I think.

My problem with that pic is that not all viral infection are fatal, nor do they always cause a widespread epidemic.
I think 6 is good.
6 seems like an illness to me. Not like a plague. 8 looks like a filovirus to me (which kind of have an "killer virus" reputation in pop culture), but do people know that?

No, the other one.
Maybe 6, but I'm not sure.
Those are clearly fake, since Madagascar is infected.

What about the flesh eating virus from Cabin Fever?

Seems like a monster to me.

I thought it was a zombie. Never seen Cabin Fever.

Gentleman Troper!
Here's a picture of The Plaque!

Well played.

Wouldn't that count as "just text"?
I think it was a joke
Well, it's the Trope Codifier. Also, I think we can let "just text" slide for such images.

Hello world!
Google search of the black death turns up a lot of paintings of people dying in the streets, if that is good enough.
Gentleman Troper!
Motion to pull the current
Regardless of replacement, as a guy shouting "ebola" is not this trope.
Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!
Agreed.
Normally I don't like pulling without replacement, but this is not only non-indicative, but it's also politically-charged which just seems unnecessary.

Hello world!
So the sole thing this image has to do with The Plague is the guy is shrieking the word "Ebola." The rest of it is topical editorializing (which even though I agree with the sentiment is by now pretty much out of date now that the ebola hype has pretty much died down). Really, political cartoons don't make great trope images, especially when they're only tangentially related to the trope.
