[@seanmarshall5463]

Interesting that I’ve never heard of that version of the nursery rhyme. Where I’m from we called it “Ring around the rosey” and each line is a reference to the plague. “Ring around the rosey” (A red spot or ring would develop before the blisters) “pocket full of posey” (the pockets of victims were stuffed with or covered with flowers to reduce the smell before they could be dealt with) “ashes, ashes, we all fall down” (refers to the practice of mass cremation which was discovered to help limit the spread of the disease)

[@feesrmt]

i learned this too while in school

[@DaTruthHurtzzzz]

It’s actually insane how quick it spread considering the method of transportation back then

[@feraflauna3238]

It's actually not that surprising. Ships went to various ports across the continent, so the disease always had multiple points of entry. A few people tried to be careful and tried to turn the ships away but not everyone was that diligent. The ships were still coming in somewhere because as the main way of transportation at the time, sailors and merchants couldn't avoid to have the shipment of goods delayed. Even a small delay risked a huge financial burden if they didn't have anything to sell. People needed what was on those ships and a lot of people wouldn't care to be even somewhat careful over the state the sailors were coming in and they were wheezing near death. As this video also said, no one knew the disease actually spread through fleas on rats, so even if some ports turned away ships, it was too late, and the rats already made their way through land. Given how bad rats breed, you have thousands of rats across a country with the fleas containing the disease. And you have several rats that are able to make it on ships, which didn't have the best sanitation standards, which led to more rats going on the ships, the disease spreading, and more ships dropping on land to continue spreading the disease and the rats that had the disease. It was a vicious cycle no one knew how to stop. It's actually more sad that in 2020, we were ill prepared to deal with another huge pandemic for a lot of similar reasons.

[@Emmanuel_Rocha]

Also take into consideration that, when compared to today's standards, it didn't actually spread that quickly. It took around 5 - 6 years to spread throughout Europa and other parts of the world. In comparison, COVID 19 only took a few months. Also, there where numerous instances of the bubonic plague, in the span of decades, which could have settled the disease little by little in other parts of the world, until it finally had a major outbreak.

[@asgautbakke8687]

I've heard another explanation not mentioned in this video. What medics at the time saw, was that after the last outbreak in 1666, grand epidemics became ever rarer and then the single cases too disappeared. The development started in West Europe and went East, the last major epidemic in Russia was in the late 18th century. It looked something started up in West Europe during the late 17th century and spread east, something unfavourable to the disease. Then it was noted that something happened with the rats of Europe during this time. The species black rat (Rattus rattus) vanished because it was outcompeted by the brown rat (Rattus norwegicus, it really is the scientific name), animal experiments has shown that these two species are inveterate enemies and when they meet the black rat will almost always come out worse. Infected with the bacteria Yersinia pestis both species will fall ill. But now it shows that these two rat species are predominantly infected by two different flea species. While the black rat flea will bite any animal once hungry enough (because the bacteria is clogging its guts), the brown rat flea is unlikely to bite any animal other than other rodents. Both species of rats come from the east. But while the black rat came to Europe during Roman times from the Middle East - and caused the Justinian plague paving the way for Slavonic and Moslem conquests - the brown rat came from southeast Asia when international trade on the high oceans began in earnest during the 17th century. And this maritime trade came to the western Europe first. So the well-nigh eradication of black rats in Europe by brown rats taking over the ecological niche made grand scale epidemics impossible. Single epidemics of plague nowadays are found where there still are large populations of black rats, not in Europe that is but in India and Africa.

[@katiemaljak8006]

It’s interesting when reading/watching about pandemics that have happened before, most notably the Spanish flu and the bubonic plague, how there starts to be trends. For example the closing of stores and churches, and the instinct to isolate the sick and move away from them, even though that plan could have failed. A lot of what happened during past pandemics especially the Spanish flu are happening again today, isolation, quarantine, closing of business to name a few.

Basically there was an 80% mortality rate and those that survived were able to develop immunity’s while re-populating.

[@kbck884]

A study (Dean et al) published in early 2018 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showed that mortality patterns of the Black Plague of this period more closely resembled transmission by human fleas and lice than transmission by fleas hopping from rodents to humans. In other words, rats may have been part of the problem, but they were not the main source of infection once things got going.

You need to do research in your area. I bet most of the deceased in your are were elderly. I also bet flu, pneumonia, copd, and other death rates are the same or less.
