Ibn khaldun a famous historian and philosopher of that period who withnessed the pandemic of the black death asserted that plague “devastated nations and caused populations to vanish, ”and recorded in his autobiography that it killed his parents and almost all the scholars in Tunis. this is just tiny overview about how catastrophic that pandemic was

Looking back it’s easy to see the mistakes they made, but then you realize the primitive understanding of biology they had, its surprising we survived at all

Does the narrator never get tired from doing this every day? It's a lot of work.

Yersinia Pestis is the connected to the Plague of Justinian which was 900 years before the medieval plaque. So it’s less of the origin of the disease and more of the origins of that specific pandemic.

I always loved these guys simplistic and quick animation style

I heard there were some strains that were so potent, it goes from infection to fatality in 12 hours. Evolution demanded it slow down, because if it was too effective, everyone would be gone before it could spread.

It's important to remember this and be better prepared to fight and defend from an outbreak like this in the case of another epidemic that may or not be worse.

I don’t think it was just the bubonic plague but also the pneumonic plague. They both came from the same bacteria but they are different variations. The Bubonic plague isn’t airborne but the pneumonic plague is. So I think it’s more possible that both were spreading. However they actually aren’t completely sure which of the three variations the bacteria took, they think it’s possible it could’ve been all three.

That Resident Evil one intro track always hits hard !!

Does anyone know what happens to the infected lymph nodes once a bubonic plague victim is given a large dose of antibiotics? Even if every trace of Yersinia Pestis could be magically scoured from the body in an instant, what happens to all the areas that were damaged in the meantime? Can those grotesquely swollen lymph nodes heal?

Rats that were widespread because the Catholic Church decided cats were evil and massacred them, leading to the wide spread of rats with their fleas…
