[cataubawoman]

another lovely product made in China?

[DeadIslandTrailers]

lol @ "civilized world"....love the cracker-speak this british narrator uses.

"the niggers, chinks, and other filthy savages of the uncivilized world provide diseases which reach EVEN the civilized white european nazi kkk aryan race"

[Fuzzy0u0]

@DeadIslandTrailers aww ur cool.

[puntenpol]

with an unsustainable 8 bilj. ppl. earth needs a new plague

[pg955203]

THAT cat looks so very evil!

[KgirlHasTheWits]

Very fascinating and informative documentary. It's unfortunate that people are littering the comments page with bitching and arguing. Great job, History channel!

*The Microbes that are responsible for the Black Plague & Others, Are Still out there! & *The Rothchilds! *The RockerFellers! & Your Govt! Are trying to perfect it! Trying to turn it into the Pefect! Quick! Painful! Killing! Depopulation! Weapon! *It's Fact! *Wake Up! & *Research it for yourselves! *Before it's too late! Your govt. Hates YOU!

[DerangederX]

@kisssexxx You really need to stop taking your stupid pills. I think you are about to overdose.

[example110]

@kisssexxx What the hell is wrong with you? All you do is spam poorly worded conspiracy theories.

[AnotherCompartment]

It would be virtually impossible disease to affect humans in this way again. Knowledge, communications and food storage technology would prevent it. We are bred to live in isolated units today and do not need to depend on anyone for daily needs as they did back then. The only threat disease poses to us is via government sponsored false flag bio-terrorism. Even then, it will be small outbreaks which are quickly contained, but used to force the populace into tyrannical submission.

[ticketin128]

it does make sense that mongols first got the plague because they raped women were filthy and where sick alredy im not saying asians in specific just mongols rly

[DisgruntledBadger]

When you get right down to it, microbes and virii are really an incredible example of evolution in action. Science ftw!

[Laylawantsthisname]

The black plague has no mortal enemies so to speak.

[wearerocketscientist]

hey, my mother works that BD! :D

lol sorry got excited for a moment.

[kzam717]

yup.Swine flu,altogether ,maybe a couple of hundred died.Regular flu=500 000 EVERY YEAR.Add to that 2 mio who die from diarrhea ea yr ,which could be saved by 25c worth of isotonic solution.Or the 2 mio ea yr from malaria.Swine flu is about money,check out who the stockholders of Tamiflu are ....

[babybookworm003]

@kzam717 even the death toll in the spanish flu didn't come close to the plauge

[14eldoc]

Dont forget the "other great plague"...when europeans arrive to the "new" continent....millions died of unknown diseases....

[levine96629ify]

In response to a statement issued in the video......Ebola is a virus, a much more finicky infectious microbe requiring a special vector than Yersina Pestis.

[mapleAznboy]

the only reason this spread is because life back then was old they killed fucking cat that why the torture cats

[teamswix]

the worst is yet to come..maybe not because of plague but environment disaster,war for natureresorces/water/oil,globa­l climatechanges

Im 100% convinced that our world within 150years will go through a new period of depopulation, maybe as much as 70% of every living thing

In the bible we can read prophecys of comings events

Prepare yourself spiritually

[freethinker143]

@teamswix Preparing yourself spritually is not going to protect you from plague/disease or any natural disaster if you don't believe me we could take a group of people half of them christians half of them nonbelievers give them smallpox but give the nonbelievers medicine and let the christians pray which group would have more survivors everytime?

[goldensassenach]

@teamswix The planet has finite resources.It has to have disasters to counter attack the massive reproductions of humans or we will kill everything with over population.It is common sense to expect large kill offs since it occurs in nature all the time and humans are extremely negligent and destructive to this planet.

What can we do with belief and a bible? Preach diseases to death?

[mckfrr]

It's been noticed that a Pandemic is much more feared than wars.

[freethinker143]

@mckfrr because a bomb or bullet is much quicker and more humane

[beforsey]

We're so lucky be alive in these times. Most of mans history has lived through unspeakable suffering and terror. Although, I guess there's still a fair bit of suffering in the world too :(

[sukamugen]

I KNEW IT!!!! CATS CAN KILL

[windofthegods]

rub the sars in nice and deep

[Socoolscienceshow]

I knew cats would be the down fall of humans, You damn cat owners your all ganna spread Plague to us.

[kryckeestrooff]

This episode clearly reveals one thing, where there is great greed, death usually follows! God inspired or not, it does seem to be factual!

[thestuzilla]

This program has innacuracies. Malaria is the largest killer o man in sum total. The statement about the mongels catapulting infected bodies as the first form of recorded bio warefare is also false. Arrows have had their tips dipped in excrement millenia before, also seiging armies would dump dead human and animal carcasses into rivers upstream of the city so that the water was poisoned.

[Bethalaine]

AHHH i dun wanna get plague ):

[aad2013]

i definitely didn't know it came to america...something historians don't like to publicize, i'm sure

[RhioanaNight]

an I live in Arizona too

[RhioanaNight]

That cat looks EXACTLY like my cat! I thought my cat actually jumped in the way of the screen for a second. Lol. But seriously; and I hope she doesn't have it........

[shirleysfrog91]

my cat goes outside and hunts birds and mice but that's natural... I'm not worried about catching a plague. No sweat. I'm a vegetarian and I adore animals and I'm as healthy as a horse. Just take your vitamins and supplements and eat healthy and have good hygeine then your good to go!

[vchastityv]

An apple a day even a few vitamins a day won't be very helpful if you get that infection. Good diet on the plague is like trying to kill a forest fire with a fire extinguisher.

[Bethalaine]

@shirleysfrog91 That's a good point. Many people in the Middle Ages had poor hygiene and the peasants had bad diets. People like, let's say the Pope's doctor, who survived, probably had a better diet because of their status.

[Bethalaine]

@Bethalaine And others just got lucky

[Soldierman345]

DAMN U CHINA!

[steveforsane]

Funny!

[Soldierman345]

Yeah the Chinese even poison American children.

[1111GENESIS]

Oh please certain men in position of power are FAR worse then any "Plague!!!"

Lets be real!!! A.I.D.S. Sars, Bird flu, Swine flu... what a fucking hoax!!! At least two of the afore mentioned are created to controll the poplution , so who and what is the real virus!!!

[Brialinni]

viruses, microbes and bacterias are OUR predators.

[Soldierman345]

im happy meh cat doesnt really go outside or hunt mice(our houses's carpets are dirty but no mice)so it will probly not get plague

[Soldierman345]

i like the accents of the italian guys in this show but theyre really sad

[Baseballschaap]

not so long ago, there was a homeless man in paris who had lung-pest the pneumonia version... that shook the place, the homeless tend to spend a lot of time in the subways... millions of people pass through the subway on a regular week :O

but i suppose it was contained e? :D

[cpisretartedmuch]

to people who think swine flu is like black plague

:fuck u asshole

its NOTHING like black plague

the mortality rate of swine flu is THE SAME as regular flu

so stfu

[FrigglesTheSapien]

HA HA! Actually, you're more right than you say... the mortality of the regular flu is higher.

[joker0187]

their is more chance for people to be crushed to death by a vending machine than dying by the swine flu

[Bethalaine]

@joker0187 19 a year?

[BrionyMae]

obviously swine flu isnt like the black plauge but the thing that was scary about it is that it could have been a killing virus, or it could have mutated into one and i live in Melbourne/Australia which is the 'swine flu capital of the world' and it spread so rapidly and uncontrolably here that me, my family and quite a few of my friends have had swine flu and if it had mutated its scary to think how bad it could have been.

[saltfan2]

Holy shit your so cool!

[TheLocksmith96]

@cpisretartedmuch ur wrong so suck a dick

[ClovisTheSecond]

@cpisretartedmuch Well. Y. Pestis is a bacteria and not virus. Obvious fact aside.

Spanish Flu during the first world war killed more then the Black Plague in a shorter time frame. And even the Swine Flu had/has the potential to spread and be of great harm.

It is easy to see that the risk still exists. even in this modern era. Each Influenza strain along with many other diseases, actively reminds us of that fact.

[RobWillieJesse]

@cpisretartedmuch ___ What? Are you a spokesperson for Swine Flu or something? Why are you so angry?

[rdvd7]

I have 4 cats lol, I'm not really worried though, they never go outside. :D

[Soldierman345]

same here ecxept only 1 really lazy,fat cat

[speculate1]

This was one of the best commentaries on the Plague I think I have ever seen. I wrote an extensive term paper on this subject in college 20+ yrs. ago. It NEVER ceases to fascinate me; how life was shaken to the core and came back....its almost a moral to us all: no matter what happens here on earth, it will be made right in the end.

[baprgo2000]

do you still have your bibliography from your paper? I'm working on a paper myself and would appreciate any references. thanks

[Spunky550]

which video has the flaggelants?

[Thepiratejoe]

the earlier episodes did
