Oh my poor people so sorry they went through this but this generation is the most pathetic like wtf they are such fucking cry babies and are so fucking dramatic about a little virus no respect for them at all especially the news I just wanna put em in a time machine and send em back to Europe 1347.
1:21:58 - today science is so advanced that such a thing like a global pandemic disease is not possible. Believe me on that. poor underdeveloped medieval people..
There isn't really a comparison at all, this is a lethal disease killing 1 in 3 people, that was highly contagious and had a survival rate of less than 50%, possibly as low as 30% chance of survival if left untreated (which is was at the time). If this was around today you wouldn't see people protesting against restrictions, those people would already be dead.
It's interesting to see that history repeats itself. We are still in the middle of a global outbreak and there is a modern variant of cultural flagellants, which has started as a sympathetic movement, but has moved to a violent uprising and scary witchhunt.
Be glad that you live in a time when we have a real understanding of disease and how to treat and prevent it. In the 14th century, you either lived or died. There was no science and "medicine" was a mixture of superstition, religion and astrology.
huge rat populations because of christars persecutions of cats, majority of cats was immune to the plague and kept rap pop down. but hey, religion is the main source of stupidity.
The writers were like, we're gonna pull a Professor Trelawney and foretell doom!! So spooky! Who knows when we'll all die again! and now everybody in the comment section of every plague/flu video is like "2020 sucks man."
"The Flatulence": Groups of lactose intolerant parading through towns and cities farting on each other, praying that someone helps them and invents dairy products that they can ingest without gaseous side effects!
The founders fought a revolution during a smallpox outbreak. The plague wiped out half of Europe and up to 22 percent of all humans on earth in the 1300s. Corona is a joke
@Styxswimmer 0341 Cool story bro we're all super impressed by your I'm a strong man, do not live in fear schtick. Now wear a mask and shut the fuck up.
@Delphine w. this virus has a 2 percent mortality. Actually it may be lower. A recent German study puts it at less than 0.5 and this is because many cases are asymptomatic. You are a fear monger. Your ideas of living in fear make YOU the joke. I want to live, not cower in fear like you. Ps, I survived pneumonia, meningitis and blood poisoning in the marines. I'm not worried
Styxswimmer 0341 you wouldn’t think covid 19 is a joke if 3 members of your family passed away from it within the same 2 weeks span and you were sick at the same time and not even able to hug them goodbye. It’s like some of you think c19 needs make half of your town drop dead within 36 hours for it to be taken more serious. NO VIRUS IS A JOKE but you are.
@Emperor Krtek Oh yeah no doubt about it. Just that the similarity is that I think pop ups will continue to occur. In Aus we've had a new popup in melbourne originating from a meat packing plant. I think this will continue to occur as we ease our restrictions.
@ShadyKray's #SHADYPLAYS! 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Won't help..... 🤔 Personally I think its just some world order thing. God or No God we are all Doomed. Question wonder why Aliens don't invade earth ❓😕👀🤔
It's not a big deal. We have cases of the plague every few years but we have effective treatments now and containment protocols they knew nothing about. Could it become a big deal if an outbreak went too long unnoticed? Most definitely. But this is one plague I'm pretty sure isn't a huge threat to us anymore.
I dont believe in European historians. They are some of the greatest liars on earth. Europeans lived in poverty and their own filth with tons of rats- this caused the plague.
7.23, the mention of India is literally funny. Around the 14th century, when Europe was suffering from those pandemics, India was flourishing within the subcontinent.
@Neel s No.They belive that there was such a degree of poverty that people actually ate rats that are carriers of this type of bacteria or were plain bitten by them.
It's funny because during the era of Roman Britain they put cleanliness, bathing and washing as one of their top priorities, that was about 800/900 years before the black death... let that sink in...
In hard times of death we become equal, whether you are a simple human or a representative of GOD (as many now call themselves), rich or poor, leader or citizen. That is because we all have the fear of dying a death we can do literally nothing to escape or the fear of losing everything due to that death.
Also, this documentary is kinda old. Now there is little debate about what caused the black death. It was caused by not the modern yersinia pestis, but a very strong, yet extinct ancestral strain of modern bubonic plague. Many mass graves of plague victim's DNA have clearly proven this. Modern plague is 50% fatal, this strain was 90% fatal. It was extraordinarily powerful. Also, the world had no immunity to it.
Geography mostly. It sticks right out in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea and was, and still is, a major center of trade, meaning people from all over the region and world had to stop there at some point, making the spread of disease easier.
I love how they have smoke shooting straight out of the ground in so many of the outdoor scenes... Who knew the ground in 14th Century Europe was constantly belching vapor?
What made this disease so bad were 3 things (1) it was passed by fleas and probably body lice, so it was quite contagious, (2) researchers don't know why exactly but this bacterial strain, which is related to modern plague was extremely virulent...100x as deadly as this corona virus, and (3) the ppl of Europe had no immunity to it. Modern ppl have some natural immunity to plague as they are the descendants of the ppl who survived the black death
The black death was caused by a now extinct ancestral strain of modern bubonic plague. It has been identified by DNA from plague victims. Its believed that this strain was far stronger than modern bubonic plague. Maybe 100x as deadly as this corona virus
Andy Stitt most likely yes. Plague was caused by a now extinct ancestral strain of modern bubonic plague. It has been identified by DNA from plague victims. It was probably passed by fleas and lice both. This strain is believed to have been far stronger than modern bubonic plague. May be 100x as deadly as this corona virus
@Dale Wake , I doubt that covid-19 will become more dangerous. Normally it's the other way round: initially very deadly contagious diseases become less dangerous over time, because the pathogen isn't able to spread efficiently and survive if it kills off it's victims too quickly.
john s Yup, and the Earth is flat but every few thousand years suddenly rolls itself into a burrito; JFKs brain is kept in a jelly jar tied to a supercomputer and frequently beats the snot out of Garry Kasparov at chess; and despite a daily diet of deep-fried peanut butter & bacon sandwiches and a BMI off the charts, Elvis still performs weekly in Vegas under the pseudonym “Arlo Guthrie.” By a wide margin, COVID-19 isn’t the Black Death but the only thing more deadly is a moronic troll afflicted with conspiracy disease. Tell your pet “sprung from the bung” theories to the people who have caught it or to the relatives of the ones who have died of this thing but don’t be surprised if they all tell you to screw off. For your own sake, do try to be mindful of one supreme truth: Extragalactic ETs DO exist. They drop out of sky every few years or so to turn stupid people’s addled brains into Pâté.
@Jeff Curtis you have to take under consideration the fact that traveling such great distances was so difficult those days.nowdays within a day u travel from one end of the world to the other
Diseases dont hate China, they are disqusting people eating everything and the source of many disease. We should move all our fabrics and lock our doors in Europe to avoid China completly. Also we produce everything in china and buy it cheap in Europe while our rich people in Europe gets richer and we worker get more poor, what if all ouir abrics were in Europe imagine how many more workers we would have no one would be without work! They say worker would cost more and the cost would be more of the product thats bullshit, worker in china cost less so rich people can put more money on there bank to save not because the product cost more but they will get less in there pocket!
@Richard Lahan Hmmm is that why western countries did not take this pandemic seriously in the beginning? You'd think with a history of epidemics like black plague well documented in European history, people would've learnt how to tackle them by now.
Please don't get fixated on this , The Mortality rate is much lower than plague . Try to relax and stay positive , fear is just as bad as the illness .
fellas corona aint the same as the black plague calm the hell down and enjoy my man Guy de Chauliac usin cooked onions and butter to heal his wounds. if a man in his 60s can survive the plague usin onions and fire yall will survive corona wash your hands and dont cough on the old and sick.
Plague is also not that dangerous if it came today we have medicine and we would survivie it easier today, the reason people died from Plague was they got dry no water in body to fight the bacteria or energy but mostly the body got dry even today we can die from simple bacteria if we dont drink enough water when we are sick. We also would avoiud Plague easier today because we know it was rats that did spread it and not like Corona air, or hands and so on. Corona spread faster and with no help froma rats. If Corona came in middle east time then it would be as dangerous as Plague if not much more!
The year 2720, somewhere a disembodied brain sits in an ivory tower in a glass-like jar, in a solution filled with electrolytes. The brain will send out thought waves: In 2020, CHINA released a man-made bio-weapon that killed MILLIONS!
