omg

hundred of thousand?
mmm, black death was recorded halved world' human population during 14 century. at that time it killed about 100 MILLIONS people on Europe alone.
this plague emerge multiple times on humans history and each time reap millions of lifes

I agree

Actually...Europe only had about 100 million people total in the 14th century. So I believe that statement of the black plague killing "100 MILLION people in Europe alone" was false.

And the black plague was not recorded to have "halved" the world's population at the time. It was recorded (not including the unexplored territories of the world) that there were about 450 million people, but the black plague did reduce it in 60 years to between the numbers 350 to 375 million by the beginning of the 15th century.

You've must of done your research. I bow down to you sensi. I did not do my research so I thought that the comment was true.

It's always best to fact-check and crosscheck that fact-check, no matter what you read or where you read it just to make sure that you're getting truthful information.

i have read that it did kill roughly 1/3 of Europe's population though. apparently this was one of the contributing factors to the rise of the working class and the fall of feudalism.

the lower numbers of working class citizens meant that they had higher demand and pay, which allowed them to gain power in the form of unions.

I'm sure that the black plague did kill 1/3 of Europe's population. My point was just that it did not wipe out Europe. Haha

you know what else is scary?

the influenza virus evolves and changes every year after adapting to the current flu vaccine and becomes immune to any previous flu vaccines.

it's like an AI or supercomputer that can calculate potential possibilities and change it's data so that it is constantly having to be researched so it doesn't become incurable.

no, I think you count on wrong way. 1 century is 100 years, number of pupulation at one time cant represent number people ever live, especially when live expectation fairly low. the black death are killed people all years around even till now, just sometime outburst happen and number of victim very high on short period.

I dont know where you get those 100 million number but as far I know at that time Europe definitely one most dense humans population in the world.
acording wikipedia "Black Plague, was one of the most devastating pandemics in human history, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 75 to 200 million people in Eurasia and peaking in Europe from 1347 to 1351". whithin 5 years range it killed that many European so 100 millions still understatement.
also in same source it state "It took 200 years for the world population to recover to its previous level", not 60 years

.... my brain cant keep up
(ERROR) Σ( ￣□￣||)

Wow, you totally missed what I was replying to and what I said. I said that the Black Plague continued for 60 years, not that it took 60 years to recover. And I got my information from Wikipedia, too. So clearly you missed something along that line as well.

Also, I'm not an idiot. The 15th century is the year 1400, which is when the Black Plague ceased. It started in the 14th century, the year 1340. That's sixty years. I don't know how you got the idea that I "coun on wrong way."

black plague ceased during 15th century? I am sorry but where do you get that wrong fact from? Black plague just like influenza, there always patience even until NOW.

according wikipedia:
the plague was present somewhere in Europe in every year between 1346 and 1671.
Plague was present in at least one location in the Islamic world virtually every year between 1500 and 1850.
The third plague pandemic started in China in the mid-19th century.
Twelve plague outbreaks in Australia between 1900 and 1925.
In October 2017 the deadliest outbreak of the plague in modern times hit Madagascar.
an so on.... so on...

if you use wikipedia as reference why did you take a part as your statement and then ignore the rest? btw wikipedia not my only source so you may as well so you understand what I mean "count on wrong way" coz you really is, even tough I already EXPLAIN it.

that's true! i was just adding to the information pool :)

while plague the decease is not eradicated, when people reference the black plague they are actually referencing the time period during which it ravaged Europe. later on, most Europeans had gained immunity to the plague greatly reducing the number of deaths resulting form it. Also, while the plague did effect other areas, it fell behind other more virulent and deadly deceases. In modern times, plague has been cured, so while poorer nations may experience an outbreak, it is unlikely to spread into affluent areas.

MC curing the plague would not necessarily change these numbers, as it is unlikely his knowledge will spread to other nations.

guys really!
the black death in our time is long gone let we wish that our palma in his new world may cure the deathly disease faster

...21st century Madagascar plague outbreaks

I think it's not because it wants to change itself but because the ones that have not become immune with mutations all die and the only ones left are the ones that can resist.

You know, natural selection

From what I remember learning in school in it's major run the bubonic plague wiped out half the recorded world population not Europe of which 1/3rd of those who died were from Europe Asia got hit twice as hard however we only hear about Europe because of the strange ways they treated it and they had it effect them much longer than Asia. But if I remember right Asia also got it first so it ran about the same amount but I'm unsure about that it's been a few years so take this with a grain of salt.

That is true. Plague did originate in asia. it eventually spread to Europe through the major trade routs in the Mediterranean. People generally connect plague with Europe for multiple reasons. First, it was one of the first wide spread epidemics, and one of the few that effected everyone regardless of social status. In other countries, especially the more tropical ones, deadly diseases were more common. As such, in these countries, the plague may fall behind other deadly diseases like tuberculosis, malaria, and polio. Also, since Euro-centric education became widespread during the colonial times, a lot of our education nowadays focuses on Europe.
