The Plague was a severe outbreak of bacterium Yersinia pestis in the 1300’s and the 1800’s. Killing 25 million people in the 14th century alone it became one of Europe's most grim times in history. The Plague caused people to flee their homes in fear of catching the Black Death. The outbreak began in Peking, China otherwise known as modern day Beijing, capital of China. The disease ended out around 1350, but still had no medically accurate way of treating the disease. In the 14th century and the

The Black Death was a devastating plague which broke out in Asia, Europe and Africa in the late middle ages (around c.1348-1353). The disease was carried by fleas on rats, and spread by coughing. The Black Death got it’s name from the black buboes that appeared on the victim's skin. The plague had a disastrous effect on the politics, economics and lifestyle of Medieval Europe. Once a victim had caught the disease they would be dead within five days. Around twenty five to thirty million people died

Knowledge in the Victorian Period vs. Knowledge in the 21st Century “But epidemics create a king of history from below they can be world changing, but the participants are almost inevitably ordinary folk, following their established routines, not thinking for a second about how their actions will be recorded for posterity” (Johnson 32). A hundred sixty years ago an epidemic disease began because of human’s insufficient knowledge on how diseases were caused. Many of these people in the Victorian

The Bubonic Plague is also know as the black death occurred during the middles ages. The plague started in China and it transmitted from people to people very rapidly. During the middle ages Europe had been trading with China its goods but in 1387 a ship from Italian merchants came from china trade many people were dying in the ship when they aboard on Italy. This disease cause swellings on the victim neck or armpits and it would go up to size of an egg or an apple.This disease spread throughout

The Black Death, also known simply as ‘the plague’, is one of the deadliest pandemics in human history and ran its most deadly course in the mid 1300s. The plague was spread by the bacillus Yersinia Pestis and is heavily believed to have been bubonic, meaning it creates swollen lymph nodes called ‘buboes’. Most people believe that the plague was spread by infected fleas, which bit animals and humans, but scientists today claim that it may have been pneumonic, lung-based. If this theory is true then

BREAKING NEWS A deadly disease is spreading through Europe today. Many people have been killed by this monstrous disease. This disease will give you pains, headaches, coughing blood and bubble like sacks on your body. This disease also leaves the tip of your fingers black. This disease will most likely kill you in 1-3 days. Very few have gotten this disease and survived. Due to the amount of people dying, the conditions of towns have gone way down. Doctors are trying to figure out treatments and

to recognize and attempt to control for the differing host variables and disease spread patterns in both Avian Influenza A (H5N1) and Bubonic Plague. There are two main features of variability between Avian Influenza outbreaks and Bubonic plague pandemics that I find prudent to acknowledge in order to give my cross historical comparison of the political response to these diseases a solid grounding. The first is the basic function and spread of the diseases. Avian Flu and Bubonic plague differ in

affect California in 1918? In 1918, at the end of World War I, the Spanish flu struck the US. Research says that the estimated amount of deaths are somewhere between 20-40 million people worldwide. The Spanish flu was one of the most devastating pandemics in modern history. The Spanish flu was something the medical world had never seen and affected the people living in California greatly. First of all, What is the Spanish flu? The Spanish flu is a virus spread by coughing, sneezing and inhaling

[1]. Pneumonic plague usually causes fatality in “less than three days if no treatment is administered.” [1]. “Plague has been one of the deadliest bacterial infections in human history, causing millions of deaths during three major historical pandemics.” Well-known for killing millions of people in the Middle Ages in Europe, the Yersinia pestisis bacteria, or bubonic plague as it is perhaps most commonly known, is effectively treated today. Three major

INFLUENZA (FLU) OVERVIEW Influenza is a viral infection that attacks your respiratory system-your nose, throat and lungs. Influenza, commonly called the flu, is not the same as stomach ”flu” viruses that cause diarrhea and vomiting. For most people, influenza resolves on its own. But sometimes, influenza and its complications can be deadly. People at higher risk of developing flu complications include: *Young children under 5, and especially those under 2 years. *Adults older than 65 *Residents
