BLACK DEATH DOOM - It was NOT bubonic plague
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1341135 United States 04/15/2011 01:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	BLACK DEATH DOOM - It was NOT bubonic plague That's my opinion, anyway. The commonly accepted explanation is that the Black Death that killed 30% - 50% of the population of Europe was the bubonic plague, transmitted by fleas carried by rats. There are a number of difficulties with this. The Black Death wiped out 50% of the population of Iceland. Well, how many rats were there in Iceland? Zero. None. No rats because it's too cold. The Black Death moved far too quickly to be transmitted by fleas, at a rate of several miles per day. The symptoms were different from bubonic plague and it killed much quicker. So what was it and when is it coming back to inflict a massive death toll? [link to www.seananmcguire.com]

Rich people moved to monasteries and escaped infection there. Issac Newton did this. If this was bubonic plague, no community would have escaped infection. You have good insight. Very few people have figured this out.

Bubonic plague is still around today, especially in the American southwest, but it's not feared like the Black Death, for good reason.

Many accounts of someone coming to the edge of town in a cloak and releasing a vapor and the same rising from the sewers. They killed millions then and will again if let at it.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1336565 Um, no. You're repeating the stories of Jews "poisoning the wells" but assigning it to the Catholic Church for some reason. Thousands of Jews were murdered and their communities destroyed when they were blamed for the Black Death - something I'm sure many Jew-hating GLPers approve of and would happily join in on if the opportunity ever arose again.

Read the book by William Bramley 'The Gods of Eden'. In one chapter he explians that the plague was transmitted by a MIST , not by Rats. Those who lit fires to escape the mist did not get sick. You are onto something here.

The Black Death was some tremendous Doom that changed everything.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1341135 The topic and I are very close. The symptoms are typical and well described many times. That said, determining ancient diseases without much physical proof is difficult as there was very little opportunity for objective reportage. YOU dont have to get it. It happens regardless your ignorance of the topic or it's epidemiology. You may not believe in transplant surgery as you cant do it yet it occurs all the ame,, Sometimes the answer lies OUTSIDE of ones own, limited and unlearned and uneducated options. You want to discuss the topic only within your frame of reference and it just cant be done.
