Bubonic Plague has 1-15% mortality rate in treated cases and a 40-60% mortality rate in untreated cases. Septicemic plague has a 40% mortality rate in treated and 100% in untreated cases.
Pneumonic plague has 100% mortality rate if not treated within 24 hours of infection.
Around 50 million people died in the Black Death. This is a truly mind-boggling statistic. It overshadows the horrors of the Second World War, and is twice the number murdered by Stalin’s regime in the Soviet Union. As a proportion of the population that lost their lives, the Black Death caused unrivalled mortality.
The symptoms of the pneumonic plague include weakness, fever, headache, and shortness of breath. They usually progress for two to four days and may eventually cause respiratory failure and shock. Even with treatment, symptoms of this disease result in death 75 percent of the time.
