What else can I help you with?
Could you get the black plague by breathing by someone who already had it?
Yes, you could get the Black Plague by breathing near someone who already had the plague. The plague was transmitted through the spread of droplets in the air when a person coughed or sneezed. If you breathed those droplets, you could get the plague.
What changes in society do you think could have played a role in the spread of the plague?
Several societal changes contributed to the spread of the plague, particularly the rise of urbanization in the late medieval period, which led to overcrowded and unsanitary living conditions. Increased trade and movement of people facilitated the transmission of the disease across regions. Additionally, the decline of feudalism and the growth of commerce created a more interconnected society, allowing the plague to spread rapidly along trade routes. These factors combined to create an environment where the disease could thrive and propagate.
What actually caused the black death?
Bubonic Plague - was spread by the fleas who lived on plague-infected rats, and such rats were ubiquitous on trading ships. But the people of that time believed that the plague was a punishment from god too punish the wicked and the good people would be saved by god.Pneumonic Plague - could spread with a sneeze and jump from person to person with terrifying speed.Septicemic Plague - spread through contact with open sores
What are the cures for the plague?
The small number of cases of plague that occur today are treated with antibiotics.There was no cure for it the only treatment was for them to be quarentined so they could stop the spread.
Did the the Industrial Revolution spread the Black Plague?
Black Death or The Black Plague was spread by fleas that were on rats. The Industrial Revolution could be the cause of its rapid spreading, but the cause is actually disputed by many scientists and historians. Many think it spread just because of how contagious it was.
A disease as devastating as the plague could spread today why or why not?
no, it is highly unlikely. With the latest measures and scientific equipment. It is very rare.
Did the Black Death affect Scotland?
Scotland and the Black DeathYes, Scotland suffered from the Black Death. (Plagues don't respect borders). ANSWERin Edinburgh there is a famous place called Mary kings close where hundreds of plague (and some non plague ) victims were walled up inside and left to die.FURTHER INFORMATIONThe plague outbreak which Mary King's Close is famously associated with happened in 1645. The story about plague victims being walled up is a myth. It is haunted, however, and well worth going on the tour.The Black Death is the name for the plague outbreak which spread across Europe and England around 1349. The Scots spent a year or so laughing at the misfortune of the English, and assembled an army to take advantage of the situation. Before they could attack the plague spread across the border and killed most of them. The rest fled back to the Highlands taking the disease with them.
The spread of the plague was inevitable if not what could have been done to prevent its spread and by whom?
While the spread of the plague in medieval Europe seemed inevitable due to factors like trade routes and population density, several preventive measures could have been implemented. Quarantine protocols could have been enforced more rigorously, and public health education could have been improved to inform communities about hygiene practices. Governments and local authorities, along with health officials, should have taken a more proactive stance in monitoring and controlling the movement of goods and people. Additionally, better sanitation and waste management could have mitigated the conditions that facilitated the plague's spread.
Does your cause and effect go in the same paragraph of a essay?
It can. Something like this; The cause of the black plague in the 1300's were the fleas from the rats that came off the ships from Asia and soon spread across Europe .The effect was the entire population of Europe was affected directly or indirectly through contact with the plague. At this point you could expand the effects of the plague in two paragraphs. One, outlining the direct effects and the second outlining the indirect effects. Get the idea?
How did The Black Plague spread throughout the world?
The Black Plague devastated Europe killing (an estimated) half of the population and spread into Asia. Supposedly it was the Bubonic Plague spread by fleas on rats. This is the most widely accepted theory. Recently this information has been disputed for several reasons, including temperature in which bubonic plague can thrive, rate of spread and death rates and the fact that there were no rats in some affected areas (such as Iceland). This high mortality rate and fast spread can possibly be attributed to respiratory droplet transmission. This allows a spread without the rats and a much quicker speed. Since the bubonic plague often causes coughing, this means that it could be transmitted via the air (aerosol transmission). A low immunity can account for the death rate, similar to smallpox with Native American populations.
Simalarities of black death and anthrax?
Black Death was believed to be a Plague. But it could have been anthrax. As this amount of spread is only possible in airborne cases.
What modern amenity could help another outbreak similar to the plague due to its ability to transport people in short amounts of time (one incubation period?
Air travel is a modern amenity that could facilitate the rapid spread of a disease similar to the plague. With the ability to transport people across vast distances in just a few hours, an infectious agent could spread globally within one incubation period. This rapid movement of individuals could lead to widespread outbreaks before adequate containment measures are implemented. Enhanced connectivity thus poses a significant challenge in managing and controlling potential pandemics.
