The Black Death The Bubonic Plague

The Black Death The Bubonic Plague (or Black Death) ravaged the European countryside beginning in the 14 th century. This disease wiped out 30-60% of the population. - some say up to 75% They don’t seem to mind too much 

The Rate of Expansion

The Black Death The Bubonic Plague is caused by a bubon bacteria Yersinia Pestis  The disease was transmitted by fleas borne on the backs of rats that came in on cargo ships.

The Black Death  This kind Not this kind 

The Black Death The disease is named the bubonic plague because of the large pustules (buboes) that would form on the skin of its victims (if a boil is a pimple on steroids, then a bubo is a boil on steroids, crack, and crystal meth).  Gross

The smell must have been just awful

The Black Death - Characteristics Buboes, extreme temperatures, hemorrhaging, & death High rate of transmission High mortality rate (again 30-60%) Would kill in as few as 8 days Hey, buddy…you dropped something

An Attempt to Avoid the Inevitable The doctors (or death-handlers) wore distinctive robes to try to avoid the anathema Large brimmed black hats to identify them Thick, heavy, leather trench coat and breeches to keep infected blood off A bird-like gas mask that had glass eyelets and a beak filled with aromatic herbs to ward of the miasmas (bad-air thought to carry plague)

Pretty sure this was the original “chickenhead”

The Results Over 35 million dead in Europe alone Over 60 million in Asia Caused a severe labor shortage, which lead to a demand for available labor, providing much needed jobs for the impoverished and created an environment which allowed for a rise of the middle class. Economic prosperity and abundance of resources from death and untold misery

Only slightly better than a zombie apocalypse

A sick child’s rhyme Ring around the rosy, Pockets full of posies, Ashes to Ashes, We all fall down People really are strange

A New Plague Not a question of if, but when!! A new strain of influenza? – Bird flu – Swine flu – Platypus flu??? Btw, the Spanish Influenza killed more soldiers in WWI than were killed by bullets, bombs, and bayonets…combined! A viral contagion? C’mon…now you’re just making stuff up

A New Plague And the Mack-Daddy of them all… Ebola-Zaire From central Africa (Congo) 90% mortality rate Kills in as little as 24 hours Hemorrhagic fever – Chills, muscle aches, cramps – Blood fails to clot – Organs begin to shut down – Profuse bleeding through the pores – Sloughing off of soft tissues – Seizure – Death Well, that doesn’t look too scary…uh, nevermind

A New Plague It’s only a matter of time!!!
