Black death, black plague, middle ages

Hi all,

This video seems to get a lot of people using it for class assignments (which is great) I'd just like to update some figures which differ from the video. The facts i used where accurate at the time. Here are the updates:

The total number of deaths worldwide is estimated at 75 million people,[10] approximately 25-50 million of which occurred in Europe.

Some scientists, Historians and some researchers believe that the illness was, in fact, a haemorrhagic fever

I thought people could transmit it, as others contracted most deadly disease through coughing because it eventually became transmittable from person to person, the way swine flu is now because the virus evolved. Perhaps some human contact :) Thanks for the info though! Things like this are only "skimmed" upon by high school teachings..you don't actually get into depth about it which sucks because there's so much more to learn about it. Maybe I'm thinking of other diseases xD

The bacteria that causes the plague can be transmitted but contact or clothing, but this actually was quite a rare event in comparison to infection via the traditional method of rodent bite.

I mean rodent FLEA bite

Well perhaps not the disease, but at one point to attack or whichever it happened there was a city closed off from it from the walls, and I remember seeing a part on youtube where people flung the bodies over the wall. May not have been contracted that way, but either way it somehow spread there :) But thanks for the clips anyways! Didn't know it was under debate actually :) I didn't learn too much of it, but yeah I think I recently heard of a new classification for it.

In medievil warface, this technique was used to send fear through the ranks of the defenders, being used to infect other people ..i don't think so. I think in the movie "The kingdom of heaven" has a scene simular to what you are mentioning

[couragenow]

Sorry for the delay - Yes Ireland suffered badly, no amount of whiskey was gonna fix this. The plague hit in for in 1348.

Bare in mind, that they black plague was most deadly in crowded,unclean cities. 80 millions where ALLOT at midevil times. Its like if 1000 millions would die today.
