That&aposs why we got the largest mass school closing in the history of America, thereby destabilizing neighborhoods and actually spiking the crime rate, and we need him to go, just like if it was a disease, cancer or something like that, or the bubonic plague.

Though instances of plague are not uncommon on the island, which usually sees around 400 cases a year, the ongoing epidemic involves mostly cases of pneumonic rather than the more common bubonic plague—and that airborne variety of the disease is significantly more transmissible and deadly.

And based on CDC estimates, the fourteenth-century Black Death, caused by the bubonic plague, could have taken approximately the same number of lives as World War II, World War I, the Crusades, the Mongol conquests, the Russian Civil War, and the Thirty Years' War combined.

Symptoms of the plague usually develop one to six days after being infected, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and can include headache, fever, chills, and painful, swollen lymph glands in the groin, armpit, or neck, also called buboes—hence the name bubonic plague.

If we open the definition up some—like, wide enough that we can describe the 14th century as a Golden Age For The Bubonic Plague—we could maybe manage it, but if we stick to the understanding of gold as a valuable thing that is good to have, then ours is no golden age.

Moreover, while it's true that the 14th-century Black Death wiped out approximately a third of the world's population, the term "pandemic" was hardly used before the late 19th century, when the worldwide spread of bubonic plague, spurred by faster shipping and rail connections, underlined the way in which the world was becoming a single epidemiological unit.

During the time of the Renaissance, ergotism was a phantasmagoric event with an onset that was difficult to distinguish from the bubonic plague: it came on first as nausea and insomnia, then developed into sensations of being engulfed in flames while hallucinating over several days, and often ended with the amputation of one or more limbs due to gangrene, or ended in death.

In the late 21900's it seemed like the fields of medicine and global public health may have solved the problem of infectious disease spread—smallpox had been eradicated, polio was on its way to extinction and the scourges of the past, yellow fever, bubonic plague, measles, mumps and rubella could all either be cured through antibiotics or prevented through vaccines.

A massive volcanic eruption spewed a huge cloud of ash that shrouded the Northern Hemisphere in darkness and caused a drop in temperatures that led to crop failure and starvation, said co-lead study author Professor Christopher Loveluck of the University of Nottingham in the UK. Then the misery was compounded in A.D. 542 as cold and hungry populations in the eastern Roman Empire were struck by the bubonic plague.

If you want to catch up with Ned and Melisandre in a horror movie: "Black Death," set during the bubonic plague and featuring Sean Bean and Carice van Houten If you want to see Jaime Lannister as an Egyptian god for some reason: "Gods of Egypt," wherein Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is missing an eye instead of a hand and Gerard Butler retains his Scottish brogue If you finally want to SEE. SOME.

As historian James Mohr, who authored a book on the 1899 outbreak of the bubonic plague in Honolulu, Hawaii, wrote recently for Oxford University Press's blog: Since the early victims were Chinese, ugly cries arose for the destruction of all Asian neighborhoods on the pretext that they seemed to be breeding grounds for plague; blaming victims and increased hostility toward minorities had been hallmarks of health-related panics since ancient times Local officials did resist the mob mentality, but their good intentions still went awry.

He also threw in a gratuitous Ariana Grande reference in case it wasn't clear the whole thing was a joke: The behavior which offended me and my union buds most was the White men who portrayed themselves as Social Justice Warriors, and verbally flogged themselves throughout meetings — "white men suck, white men are terrible, white men are oppressive" — like they were Catholics during the dark ages hoping to avoid the bubonic plague through God's good graces (as Arianna Grande says, God is a woman, after all…) Palmer edited out what, to me, read as the most ludicrous passages and published.
