History Channel - The Plague part 13

[truvianni]

Poland had many Jews before WWII and in fact Ben Gurion was born in Poland.

CLUBBERS ???

[sandplasma]

Some people with ancestors from the plague who were sick and recovered developed an immunity for HIV/AIDS. Who would have thought..

[sandplasma]

@lAMNOTGOOMBA pwn3d

[example110]

@sandplasma I thought it was impossible to develop resistence to HIV, since it constantly mutates.

[sandplasma]

@example110 I believe it does mutate but within itself, it's still the same virus. I read that the plague infection would take over cells ro prevent hiv from entering and taking them over. It's been a while but it has been proven. Something about gene 23.

[nichodia]

@sandplasma I question that, since the plague is a bacteria and HIV/AIDS is a virus. Could you cite your sources? :/

[sandplasma]

@nichodia

Yep, you can read more about it in the Discover Magazine website June 1997 issue. I have a link but youtbe will not let me post it. You can alternatively google "plague victims resistant to hiv" and click on the first link that pops up.

[viperxeon]

50%? Wow could you imagine if Ebola spread, it's morality rate is 80%.

[agetlostgirl]

@viperxeon actaully only the sudan and zaire ebola have mortality rates of 80+ and we rarely see outbreaks of these particular ebola's now the more common ebola virus strands mortality rates are around the 25% still high but not nearly as high as sudan and zaire. (also the mortality rates they are refering to are those left in the city not people who got it and survived as all other diseases are catagorized as)

[SilentSamurai1000]

The first guy at the flagellant party says: Lets drink.

Lithuanian ftw!

[saints929]

@lovellespice, you have to remember the majority of doctors or those with medical training, as the documentary states, were in fact either clerics/priests or had been trained by the church. Therefore the church had a large control, not solely however, over the the majority's beliefs when it comes down to causes and treatments of the Plague.

[lovellespice]

uhhh why is everyone blaming the church for people's idiocy? isn't it that when you're sick you see a doctor, not a priest?

[babybookworm003]

@lovellespice we these were midevil times they had no idea of what real medicine was

[glennmunro01]

I also, noticed a lot of the areas were duplicates of some of the others in relgions, archtitecture habits and what not....some of the areas were patterned after, A lot of the older, Pagan cities, or Egyptian cities. The other thing, was blood shed. They killed a lot of people leaving the blood to contaminate the area, and water.

[glennmunro01]

Yeah circulation does that...keeps things alive. I noticed a lot of the cities were in low, and sedimentary areas. That had been there for a while. Not good, if your not, using farming techniques to create, decent living quarters. Plus you had false relgions, paganism, and actual people poisoning, and polluting things.

[apspacking]

Suddenly the plague comes and suddenly disappears and yet at 21 century no one knows why. Why this plague comes and why suddenly goes away? If at this time like the year of 2011 no one knows why the plague comes and why it goes away after killing bunch of people, I can not think of nothing but the RAT of GOD. If you disagree with me please after 700 years past show me a scientific reason for this epidemic acts of coming and going. Can you? Or would you?

[LAUGHINGLADY5]

@apspacking techniculey it isn'tafter 700years because plague wasn'tdicovered untillthe1800'w by alexandre yersin

[Pacifica8]

@LAUGHINGLADY5 learn how to spell

[LAUGHINGLADY5]

@Pacifica8 sorry my keyboard wasn't working

so you don't have to be mean about it

god e-e calm down.

[MeesterCrumpet]

gross. stinky bloody starving medieval flaggellants? ew

[911wasdonebyjews]

Naughty naughty Germans lol!

[TashaRichardsonFan1]

The flagellants party like a rock stars. lol

[jliu512]

The flagellants were the original 4chan /B/, trolling villages in an epic manner, until the cancer that was /B/ at the time was cured by beheadings. 

[mmoses]

lol at 2:28-2:44

[shelzo]

THE FLATCHULENCE??

[dicthash]

actually plague didn't spread in Russian land

[tigranvartanovitch]

@dicthash That makes sense. As the disease spreads, it makes copies of the virus. Then you get copies of copies etc, and the virus gets weaker. By the time it reaches Russia, the disease has burnt itself out. I don't follow this thing about it being spread by black rats. I think it was spread like any influenza. The physicians of the time thought so too. There is not much evidence that there were black rats out in the countryside, where most of the fatalities occurred.

[apspacking]

@tigranvartanovitch

Were the first copy comes from and how come other viruses do not get weaker by copying which in fact is the Viruses add up by producing other viruses like themselves and not by copying themselves like all other living creatures in the earth.

[apspacking]

@tigranvartanovitch

We are not talking about computer Viruses. These viruses are alive and they deliver like themselves they don't copy.

[tigranvartanovitch]

@apspacking Don't they have any schools where you come from? Of course it gets weaker every time it copies. That's why you don't get Spanish Influenza anymore, or the English Sweat. Go get a fucking education.

[xxAnimeFreak47xx]

hmmm where have i heard the name ester before?

[clamantuanguyan]

"There's a somewhat lesser death rate among the upper classes.. partly because they.. could.. um.... move."

genius.

[virgoeyes]

Ironic...no more jews in Poland today....

[luci66]

@virgoeyes lucky Poland!

[dream6cold6code6]

fleas also have smaller insects feeding on them as well, which in turn could explain the rapid expansion of the black death, or at least a contributed part of the disease fast spreading nature, despite also the good conditions it had to spead.

though I guess with multiple means of infection and means to speard and for the disease to thrive also, its hard to pin point a blame factor to the evolution and spread of the disease, and lack of bio hazard knowledge, makes more complications.

[XxxSakura101]

1:13,,hm...great trial...

[ERASER1091988]

It's so good to watch something educational than watching crappy youtube videos like laughing babies,  fred etc and all that bullshit.

[Arminoid]

Damn I hated the black death ... all those towns i had to abandon in medival total war ... so many dead soldiers :( ;)

[GhostWatcher55]

if i was jewish id lie and say i wasint and not practice the culture seems like a dangerous culture cause the worlds so fucked up and chrisitans and germans just wanna kill em.

[mckfrr]

[qaraTRn]

when i watch this i could have that conclusion "germans hates jews" is that what history channel wants to express??? im confused:(( in 2:38 he states flagellants and nazis have same nationality. so what???

[RubicsCubeProduction]

@qaraTRn

Well, it's simply true...

[MrYorkyporky]

Im never fleaing my cat again

[Bethalaine]

[666greetings]

ohohoho  medieval orgy

[666greetings]

ohohoho  medieval orgy

[couchpotatoe244]

Did the fleas at least get a stomach ache from carrying the bacteria?

[vchastityv]

Idk ask the fleas

[Bethalaine]

@couchpotatoe244 Lol

[Socoolscienceshow]

@couchpotatoe244 LMAO that was funny XD

[Crablec10]

@couchpotatoe244 they died as well

[Obsidi0n]

@couchpotatoe244 The bacteria makes the flea starve by covering it's stomach, that's why it goes out on a feeding frenzy, thus being more prone to bite humans.

[IrateNub]

@couchpotatoe244 Their vectors, They carry diseases without getting sick themselves. If a human is a vector, we call them a Carrier.

[geckodragon]

@IrateNub they're*

[101rocketmail]

@couchpotatoe244 They were most likely immune from it. Good point, though. I had never thought of that.

[CashoutKingz616]

@couchpotatoe244 the flea died, the rat carrying the flea died, and the human died lol

[adarkenedmind]

This says over half the population of europe. I always heard it was 1/3. Geezus, though... that's an amazing amount of people that died.... Absolutely horrible... it does boggle the mind..... That's a lot of fucking people... and a lot of graves to be dug....

[thissnowtastefunny]

no one knows they are all educated guesses i heard 50 to 60%

[altarush]

After the pope left the city in France, did the Plague start to recede?Could that be theory? Pope go home.

[xenomorph713]

God had nothing to do with the plague, nore did papal politics. your as ignorant as the religious fanatics back then.

[Baseballschaap]

you're more ignorant for failing to see the sarcastic joke... "Pope Go Home" isn't really a religious fanatic's ignorant answer now is it?

[FrigglesTheSapien]

if you belong to a religion that is against the pope, it can be.

[jammy764]

haha, people thumbs you down for speaking the truth!

[thissnowtastefunny]

@xenomorph713

i don't know why people are giving you the thumbs down. Some religion fanatics would burn Jews and other people (The Flagellant are a religious brother hood.) So like i said he is making sense.

[cpisretartedmuch]

faggot survivors gain immunity to the desease so black plauge recides.
