I read this many years ago that at first the plague were spread by rat fleas but eventually the plague evolved and spread thru airborne.

I was taught at school over 20 years ago that the black death was a combination of bubonic and pneumonic plagues... why is this being put forward as some sort of revelation?

Yes it was contagious through the air, but it came from the contamination of rat feeces also. I saw a documetary on it

I did an essay/presentation on the black death and found it very interesting. That's when I learned what the meaning to the song "Ring Around the Posies". Horrible plague, if I remember correctly they had mass graves and had to burn the bodies.

Yes. You are right. The air became contaminated through the exposure of rat feces. Still... it is hard to believe that the disease killed 200 million people in a matter of months. That is almost 3 times the WW2 death count. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fthumb%2Fd%2Fd3%2FBlackdeath2.gif%2F220px-Blackdeath2.gif&t=665&c=TI-Npfc1fl5Ljg)

Milan 3. Pyrennes

Milan 3. Pyrennes After an online perusal, leading theories seem to be: 1) Luck 2) Historical inaccuracy 3) Hearing of what happened elsewhere, they managed to institute effective nation-wide quarantines of towns and individuals seeking access to highly-populated areas... in the 14th century.

Here (from A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century): Poland established a quarantine at its frontiers which succeeded in giving it relative immunity. Draconian means were adopted by the despot of Milan, Archbishop Giovanni Visconti, head of the most uninhibited ruling family of the 14th century. He ordered that the first three houses in which the plague was discovered were to be walled up with their occupants inside, enclosing the well, the sick, and the dead in a common tomb. Whether or not owing to his promptitude, Milan escaped lightly in the roll of the dead.

Because it was released by humans. One of the earliest experiments that was man made!
Since then they been trying find a 100% effective virus mostly using Ebola as the source but have yet to find it. Many people have a natural resistance to certain virus's and such so nothing is 100% effective.... Yet!
You do know how they open cells for GMA food right? Ebola virus! Real interesting stuff but blatantly should not be used for human/animal consumption. Talk about hack and slash techniques!

Ibola is man made, you think they were not playing with this stuff before? Those are just rumors. Some people also think that the HIV virus was first created in a CIA laboratory. The truth is that the Ebola virus was previously confined to some extremely remote location (such as caves or gorges), which was devoid of human contact. As a result of the African population explosion, people began moving in to these locations in search of game, and they contracted the virus.

And they did spread HIV in Africa. They have to create reasons why you need them so they create the problems. All the problems of this world come down to us allowing a few to manipulate everything through these centralised components. That's just plain fact, we allow it!

Humans contracted the disease after eating unclean gorilla meat. The Central African pygmies, who lived in the forests believed for many centuries that eating gorilla meat would cause misfortune. But the invading Bantu tribes had no belief in this. Why blame the West for this?

And I didn't say all west, the people doing this doesn't view boarders (farms) and don't abide to the same restrictions we have to under there centralised control. Until we remove this scorn on society we will never know the truth
