The Bubonic Plague, otherwise known as the Black Death, was a raging disease. Most people considered him the physical Grim Reaper of their city or community. The disease lasted about six years, from 1347 to 1352. The bubonic plague was a travesty that traveled throughout Europe and raged and decimated cities large and small, putting Europe to the test. The disease spread through a bacterium called Yersinia Pestis. The bacteria themselves can block small blood vessels, causing them to rupture. The waiting period of the plague is about one to three days, just to show symptoms, and soon dies within forty-eight hours. The disease was a major depopulator. In Europe alone it killed a third of the population, in the process completely destroying two thirds of China's population and decimating many Muslim cities. The disease flared up and raged so quickly that there wasn't enough time to bury all the dead, so they mostly waited until the end and held a large memorial service. The disease itself was tearing at the very fabric of society. The virus attacks the lymph nodes and lungs. Buboes formed by the virus usually form in the groin or armpit depending on the nearest lymph node. The plague is highly contagious and spreads by talking, coughing and sneezing. There are two types of plague, septimal and pneumonic plague. Septimic plague is transmitted directly through flea bites. Since there is no incubation period, the infection infects the bloodstream directly and immediately. In response, the victim's circulatory system collapses, he has a high rate of internal bleeding, and he dies within the next twenty-four to thirty-six hours. Pneumonic plague is transmitted through any form of infection. There are one to three days inc......half of the paper......there. Unlike other parodies that help make the community stronger, this one simply divided communities. To make matters worse, in the course of just six years, seventy-five million people died. There were about fifteen million in southwestern Asia. Even more so are the thirty-five million deaths in China. Finally, in Western Europe there were approximately twenty-five million deaths. The Middle Ages became so depopulated that the economy changed. In the economy, workers were demanding higher pay, changing their employment status in the process. Poverty was widespread everywhere due to traders who significantly increased prices. In conclusion, the virus that had been raging across Europe was so deadly, virulent and lethal that victims were said to go to bed healthy and die in their sleep. This disease has torn society apart. This plague has killed many and ruined the lives of others.
