I am so happy we live in the day and age we do. These people had no idea what was happening and had no real chance to fight this bacterium. At the time, there were only two ways to avoid this deadly illness. The first and most obvious was to get as far as possible from the infected areas. The other way was to surround yourself with fire. This appeared to work for many families as they kept candles, the fireplace, and torches surrounding them at all times. The heat apparently kept the fleas away and quite literally saved their lives.
I can't imagine what it must have been like during those times. You have no idea why this is happening and everyone around was dropping like flies. What truly worries me, we are due for another pandemic of mass proportions. Today, we have far too many doctors and people that rely on antibiotics for everything. If we're going to get hit with another catastrophic event it will likely be brought on by the weakening of our medicine to the point it will be useless.
Can someone tell me this mans accent ?
Why didn’t people burn london to get rid of the flees ?
Because of its 666
The plague from china but no any history record plague happend in china.racist claim by the way.

I don't want to get sick like the great plague
And not long ago 2 people from Mongolia just caught the plague
"Bring out ya dead!"
Me: I'm not dEaD
"Well, of course you're not, you're living in 2019."
bring out ya dead!!!
My ancestor who died of the plague: looking down ashamed at me screaming because of a cough
But wouldn’t the people who carried around the dead people carts contract the plague? Damn. Went from carrying the cart of dead people to being on it.
Bring out ya dead!
3head
Yeah living dirty and with animals will do that.
I’m learning this at school,we watch this for help,thank you for making this it helps!
Based on the science that maked the black death so deadly from its bacteria called yersinia pestis. Yersinia pestis is a bacterial type when once enters the body this bacteria spreads within seconds and it rapidly mutating which is hard to control and within several days you are☠☠☠
So why all EU people Hate China and say stupid China go out
Survivors – still not bitten
