I did a paper on the plague in high school. There are actually three types, pneumonic, bubonic, and septicemic, affecting the lungs, the lymph nodes, and the blood.
One thing it always amazes me to think about is if you are of European descent, all of YOUR direct ancestors (both adults and children) SURVIVED the plague long enough to have children themselves.
It wasn’t repeated tho covid ain’t even that bad yes it’s still serve but the Black Death was much much much worse you have a 99.4% chance of survival if your in the age range of 11-29 that is if you don’t smoke and don’t drink too much and have a average immune system
Still trying to teach Americans that the earth is older than 6,000 years and public health precautions are not a giant conspiracy against their “freedoms”, it’s exhausting
"In a situation that would never be repeated again, they just went about their business hoping the problem would fix itself before really affecting them." Why has no one commented on this?
@@stonedpaladin8632 Not when it's funny and very appropriate for today's current events. Also, few sandwiches short of a picnic. Never heard that one before. I'm stealing it.
It's actually not that surprising. Ships went to various ports across the continent, so the disease always had multiple points of entry. A few people tried to be careful and tried to turn the ships away but not everyone was that diligent. The ships were still coming in somewhere because as the main way of transportation at the time, sailors and merchants couldn't avoid to have the shipment of goods delayed. Even a small delay risked a huge financial burden if they didn't have anything to sell. People needed what was on those ships and a lot of people wouldn't care to be even somewhat careful over the state the sailors were coming in and they were wheezing near death. As this video also said, no one knew the disease actually spread through fleas on rats, so even if some ports turned away ships, it was too late, and the rats already made their way through land. Given how bad rats breed, you have thousands of rats across a country with the fleas containing the disease. And you have several rats that are able to make it on ships, which didn't have the best sanitation standards, which led to more rats going on the ships, the disease spreading, and more ships dropping on land to continue spreading the disease and the rats that had the disease. It was a vicious cycle no one knew how to stop. It's actually more sad that in 2020, we were ill prepared to deal with another huge pandemic for a lot of similar reasons.
Also take into consideration that, when compared to today's standards, it didn't actually spread that quickly. It took around 5 - 6 years to spread throughout Europa and other parts of the world. In comparison, COVID 19 only took a few months. Also, there where numerous instances of the bubonic plague, in the span of decades, which could have settled the disease little by little in other parts of the world, until it finally had a major outbreak.
@@Emmanuel_Rocha Back then when people wash their hands and stayed in their home to not spread the plague While people can't even wear a simple mask these days
If you consider that the Spanish or the Napolitan disease that killed millions in Europe around 1560 was a syphilis' epidemic.... They really knew how to travel, and with the lack of electricity, radio and TV, they really had to find other things to do and other ways to relate to your neighbors...🤪😅😅 Moral in the old times ..there it goes....
It's not. 97% survival rate, 95% of the 3% fatalities are 60+ years old with pre existing health conditions. 80+ year olds make up over 60% of all covid fatalities. Not saying it's not real or that we shouldn't be cautious but it seems like it's been blown a bit out of proportion.
Interesting that I’ve never heard of that version of the nursery rhyme. Where I’m from we called it “Ring around the rosey” and each line is a reference to the plague. “Ring around the rosey” (A red spot or ring would develop before the blisters) “pocket full of posey” (the pockets of victims were stuffed with or covered with flowers to reduce the smell before they could be dealt with) “ashes, ashes, we all fall down” (refers to the practice of mass cremation which was discovered to help limit the spread of the disease)
So when humanity was beheading its fellows, burning "witches" at the stake, and in general being savages, the black plague stepped in and said, "Hold my beer."

I've heard another explanation not mentioned in this video. What medics at the time saw, was that after the last outbreak in 1666, grand epidemics became ever rarer and then the single cases too disappeared. The development started in West Europe and went East, the last major epidemic in Russia was in the late 18th century. It looked something started up in West Europe during the late 17th century and spread east, something unfavourable to the disease. Then it was noted that something happened with the rats of Europe during this time. The species black rat (Rattus rattus) vanished because it was outcompeted by the brown rat (Rattus norwegicus, it really is the scientific name), animal experiments has shown that these two species are inveterate enemies and when they meet the black rat will almost always come out worse. Infected with the bacteria Yersinia pestis both species will fall ill. But now it shows that these two rat species are predominantly infected by two different flea species. While the black rat flea will bite any animal once hungry enough (because the bacteria is clogging its guts), the brown rat flea is unlikely to bite any animal other than other rodents. Both species of rats come from the east. But while the black rat came to Europe during Roman times from the Middle East - and caused the Justinian plague paving the way for Slavonic and Moslem conquests - the brown rat came from southeast Asia when international trade on the high oceans began in earnest during the 17th century. And this maritime trade came to the western Europe first. So the well-nigh eradication of black rats in Europe by brown rats taking over the ecological niche made grand scale epidemics impossible. Single epidemics of plague nowadays are found where there still are large populations of black rats, not in Europe that is but in India and Africa.

we tend to overlook it, but i bet it was something straight out of a horror movie people. watching everyone around you slowly dying and then dying yourself. imagine walking through the abandoned villages with blackened and rotting bodies lining the streets and filling the homes. it must’ve been a horrific sight.
They actually did this during the bubonic plague times! So many would die that people would start carrying around wagons, and others would start piling bodies in them. They took the bodies to either be burned or buried in mass graves. I can’t remember if they got paid for this or not
“However in a situation that would never be repeated again, they just kept going on about their business hoping the problem would fix itself before it really affected them” Oh…
I did a 12 page essay on the bubonic plague in senior year, and not once in my life have I heard Ring Around The Rosie sang that way in my life lol that threw me off for a second😂
Not tissues, but atti-choo: a sneeze which was said to be the beginning of the disease. I very much doubt tissues had been invented-people used washable handkerchiefs or their sleeve…
Another interesting chapter from the aftermath of the Black Death, was the flagellants. A group of so-called christians, who felt that they hadn't suffered enough, and that god would spare them from the plague if they simply suffered enough. So they marched from town to town in groups, whipping themselves on their own bare backs, to show to god that they were suffering.
What he did there was make a true and factual statement. COVID-19 isn't anywhere near to being as deadly as the bubonic plague. Or the Spanish Flu, for that matter.
@@mattjack3983 What infographics was saying there was actually sarcasm. Because before that he had said that the people in Europe ignored the plague in other continents, hoping it wouldn’t come to them. That’s exactly what America did with COVID; ignored it, believing that it wouldn’t come to our doorstep and being unprepared when it did
@@mattjack3983 The narrator wasn't talking about the disease, but about the part right after: "people just went about their business hoping the problem would fix itself". Which is what we did this time too 🤦♂️
The 'pocket full of posies' wasn't a talisman. It was to disguise the pervading smell of death and decomposition in the streets, a bit like wearing perfume.
actually, no. they believed that the plague was caused by bad smells and bad air so they believed that if they carried nice smells on them then the plague would avoid them.
The way I learned the nursery rhyme was “Ashes, ashes, we all fall down,” the ashes would refer to people being cremated as opposed to people needing tissues Edit: It's pretty funny that this reply section has just turned into people saying how they learned it
It’s interesting when reading/watching about pandemics that have happened before, most notably the Spanish flu and the bubonic plague, how there starts to be trends. For example the closing of stores and churches, and the instinct to isolate the sick and move away from them, even though that plan could have failed. A lot of what happened during past pandemics especially the Spanish flu are happening again today, isolation, quarantine, closing of business to name a few.
A tissue a tissue we all fall down,meaning sneezing was the last symptom,then death.its always been a tissue,were you get ashes from,did they cremate people then throw there ashes over everyone 🤣🤣🤣
I always thought atisshoo atisshoo meant the sound you make when you sneeze lol not literally, 'a tissue'. Funny. But I did know it had to do with death.
Same, I think most people know this one. The rosies are the flea bites and the ring is the rash that forms around it. Ashes is the cremation of plagued bodies.
@@jdb47games it does, it was originally a rhyme based on stories of the bubonic plague but in world war 1 it had a reinsurgence presumably because of all the death caused by the bad times again
I always wondered about this and had trouble getting a complete summary of the Black Death. This is excellent. So the Bubonic Plague still exists but it is a less deadly form of the bacteria that occurred in the past.
Great vid and info! Only thing is the music was one constant crescendo!- it was stressful, like a 10 minute epic movie moment that won’t end… maybe try some different music? Made this wonderful video tough to get through. ☮️
In an episode of tugs "Quarantine" ships deemed infected were given flags to show they were infected and were told to stay away from port for forty days.
wasn't there some italian Bishop that proposed waste disposal, sewers and quarantine? The clergy and nobility was skeptical, but the dude test drove it in a city he was the defacto leader of (due everyone else dying or running) It worked swimmingly and it got adopted. EDIT: got mentioned, but this is what I know of how this started.
DarkWarchieff That was incoherent, but it does bring to mind that the Romans were big into sanitation and it wouldn't take much brain power for a medieval Italian to think maybe putting the Roman stonework back into operation might be a good idea.
A study (Dean et al) published in early 2018 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showed that mortality patterns of the Black Plague of this period more closely resembled transmission by human fleas and lice than transmission by fleas hopping from rodents to humans. In other words, rats may have been part of the problem, but they were not the main source of infection once things got going.
I learned "ring around the rosie, pockets full of posies, ashes, ashes, and we all fall down" and I was taught that pockets full of posies represented how plague doctors would put flowers in their mask to hide the smell of rotting corpses and that ashes, ashes was meant to represents how the corpses of plague victims were burned
Ring around the rosies (Which everyone skips over explaining) represents the pustules that would form on the skin, esp in the nether regions. Your Rosies.
Ring around the rosies (Which everyone skips over explaining) represents the pustules that would form on the skin, esp in the nether regions. Your Rosies.
Actually, while some of the symptoms of the pestilence in the 1340s (which was actually called the Great Mortality at the time- the term "Black Death" not being invented until the 1820s) match up with yersinia pestis, which was discovered in the 1890s, some of the symptoms are more in line with anthrax, and anthrax spores have actually been found in mass graves of plague victims. It's likely that there were concurrent outbreaks of both diseases happening at the same time, with possibly others still piggy-backing on them.
🤓 🤓🤓 Symptoms of the same disease can change - we saw that with Covid whereas initially it was respiratory only, subsequent strains had more GI symptoms
"Demonstrating that they missed the entire point of their religion" Now I know I'm not crazy to think that religious supremacy also goes against most religions' teachings.

It never actually ended man, there's still infested creatures in Colorado alone. The prarie dogs are the sole reason we don't interact with much in the fields.
Yeah they said that in never really in video & still exist today but is easily treatable with meds
Squirrels at the Grand Canyon have it too.
seriously?i thought this disease dissapeared at all long time ago.Tell me how it works nowadays?and how to protect?
There was a kid that caught it , not too recently
@@radomirasrebracic574 Nope, it's still around, although treatable with Penicilin, it still causes gangrene of the hands and feet. The patient may be able to survive, but left disabled for a lifetime. So no, not something to not be scared about.
I am amazed by how clearly this guy explains stuff. It only takes 9 minutes.
Amen! He didn't think it was necessary to go into the individual victims' life stories. The Black Plague was bad enough!
I remember it as “ ring around the rosies. Pocket full of Posey’s. Ashes ashes we all fall down”

They actually did this during the bubonic plague times! So many would die that people would start carrying around wagons, and others would start piling bodies in them. They took the bodies to either be burned or buried in mass graves. I can’t remember if they got paid for this or not
But I'm not dead

“However in a situation that would never be repeated again, they just kept going on about their business hoping the problem would fix itself before it really affected them”
Oh…
I did a 12 page essay on the bubonic plague in senior year, and not once in my life have I heard Ring Around The Rosie sang that way in my life lol that threw me off for a second😂
🚑
Not tissues, but atti-choo: a sneeze which was said to be the beginning of the disease. I very much doubt tissues had been invented-people used washable handkerchiefs or their sleeve…
Another interesting chapter from the aftermath of the Black Death, was the flagellants. A group of so-called christians, who felt that they hadn't suffered enough, and that god would spare them from the plague if they simply suffered enough. So they marched from town to town in groups, whipping themselves on their own bare backs, to show to god that they were suffering.
It's also not true. That song wasn't around until the 18th century and scholars believe it had no connection to the plague.
Common British versions include:
Ring-a-ring o' roses,
A pocket full of posies,
A-tishoo! A-tishoo!
We all fall down.[3]
0:41 "A situation that thankfully would never be repeated again."
I see what you did there. 🤔
First
COVID 19 is a cute aesthetic compared to he Black Death
What he did there was make a true and factual statement. COVID-19 isn't anywhere near to being as deadly as the bubonic plague. Or the Spanish Flu, for that matter.
@@mattjack3983 What infographics was saying there was actually sarcasm. Because before that he had said that the people in Europe ignored the plague in other continents, hoping it wouldn’t come to them. That’s exactly what America did with COVID; ignored it, believing that it wouldn’t come to our doorstep and being unprepared when it did
@@mattjack3983 The narrator wasn't talking about the disease, but about the part right after: "people just went about their business hoping the problem would fix itself". Which is what we did this time too 🤦♂️
“in a situation that would never be repeated again, they kept going about their daily lives.” 💀
your normal life stopped? Mine never did lol
Well it didn't. Covid doesn't compare to the plague. People should stop being so dramatic. They have no idea how lucky they are.
@@Liitebulb still bad and has devastated many communities. Just because it didn’t affect you severely doesn’t mean it didn’t affect others
@@Brybizzle999 He just said it wasn’t comparable. For it to be comparable 3-5 billion people would have to die to COVID….
I can’t wait to see the video that says “how COVID ended” in a year or two
It's going at lease for 5 more years
but people would know how covid ended if it's only a year or two
@@SnoBlobber yes
Like its going to happen-
@@bunny-wv8iz man i really hope it fades away.
The 'pocket full of posies' wasn't a talisman. It was to disguise the pervading smell of death and decomposition in the streets, a bit like wearing perfume.
actually, no. they believed that the plague was caused by bad smells and bad air so they believed that if they carried nice smells on them then the plague would avoid them.
This man burned Gwyneth Paltrow while talking about the most tragic event in history, I tip my hat to you
The way I learned the nursery rhyme was “Ashes, ashes, we all fall down,” the ashes would refer to people being cremated as opposed to people needing tissues
Edit: It's pretty funny that this reply section has just turned into people saying how they learned it
In my primary school we said a tissue a tissue we all fall down
yeah i've never heard someone say tissues in the song before
We only said atissue atissue we all fall down not ashes
That's a myth
@@prettyclassyladyOG what are you referring to when you say “That’s a myth?”
This made me cry :)Great video!
I thought it was ring around the rosie, pocket full of posies, ashes, ashes, we all fall down... I distinctly remember the rhyme going like that
It’s interesting when reading/watching about pandemics that have happened before, most notably the Spanish flu and the bubonic plague, how there starts to be trends. For example the closing of stores and churches, and the instinct to isolate the sick and move away from them, even though that plan could have failed. A lot of what happened during past pandemics especially the Spanish flu are happening again today, isolation, quarantine, closing of business to name a few.

A tissue a tissue we all fall down,meaning sneezing was the last symptom,then death.its always been a tissue,were you get ashes from,did they cremate people then throw there ashes over everyone 🤣🤣🤣
He said tissue was the original version. Then it changed to ashes during the US, USSR cold war when people were scared of a nuclear strike.
@@ellepant i always heard “ashes, ashes” as well. Was told it was to reference the fire of London.
@@vaymullins428 bro a tissue a tissue sounds forced asf
I always thought atisshoo atisshoo meant the sound you make when you sneeze lol not literally, 'a tissue'. Funny. But I did know it had to do with death.

Your version of the story is slightly different of the one I know.
Ring around the Rosie's,
Pockets full of Posie's
Ashes ashes we all fall down.
Same, I think most people know this one. The rosies are the flea bites and the ring is the rash that forms around it. Ashes is the cremation of plagued bodies.
@@emilyviktorija9012 Myth alert! The rhyme has nothing to do with the plague.
@@jdb47games it does, it was originally a rhyme based on stories of the bubonic plague but in world war 1 it had a reinsurgence presumably because of all the death caused by the bad times again
@Yodo_specs: it is a myth. Google it if you don't believe me.
@@dawnstorm9768 I googled it and it says it is indeed associated with Black Death and was originally written around the of the great plague of England
This is the only pandemic i really and interested in learning, Thanks for the Vid🙌
It’s “Atichoo”, Atichoo”. Not tissue, it refers to the sound of a sneeze. There were no such things as tissues in the 14th century.
You sure about that? I thought it was the sound of a sneeze too
@@prahalord yes definitely sound of a sneeze
Same, I always thought it was the sound of a sneeze, but some people in the comments are saying it says 'ashes, ashes, we all fall down'
I always wondered about this and had trouble getting a complete summary of the Black Death. This is excellent. So the Bubonic Plague still exists but it is a less deadly form of the bacteria that occurred in the past.
Plus we have the medicine to cure it
"never have to worry about a pandemic tearing through the world again" I think this video is from a parallel universe
The universe is called sarcasm I believe
If we use the classic definition of pandemic, then, covid isnt. They had do change to definition of a pandemic to be able to call covid a pandemic
Well so you do not understand the universal laguage of sarcasm
Great vid and info! Only thing is the music was one constant crescendo!- it was stressful, like a 10 minute epic movie moment that won’t end… maybe try some different music? Made this wonderful video tough to get through. ☮️
Ummm I and my friends in the early 90's late 80's would say we all fall down dead at the end of the nursery rhyme.

Hopefully you upload a video titled as "How did coronavirus (Covid-19) Actually end?" In the very near future.
It is endemic now, so it will only "end" when the media and governments stop the fearmongering.
In an episode of tugs "Quarantine" ships deemed infected were given flags to show they were infected and were told to stay away from port for forty days.
**Bubonic Plague: failed at killing the human race**

EDIT: got mentioned, but this is what I know of how this started.
DarkWarchieff That was incoherent, but it does bring to mind that the Romans were big into sanitation and it wouldn't take much brain power for a medieval Italian to think maybe putting the Roman stonework back into operation might be a good idea.
I've never heard "tissue, tissue, we all fall down" before. When I was growing up it was "ashes, ashes, we all fall down".

@@cherryrussell7648 Thanks. Clearly a regional thing!
grew up in nyc in the 1970s - it was ashes, ashes
Basically there was an 80% mortality rate and those that survived were able to develop immunity’s while re-populating.
A study (Dean et al) published in early 2018 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showed that mortality patterns of the Black Plague of this period more closely resembled transmission by human fleas and lice than transmission by fleas hopping from rodents to humans. In other words, rats may have been part of the problem, but they were not the main source of infection once things got going.

"How did the Plague end?"
Madagascar: Am I a joke to you?
I learned "ring around the rosie, pockets full of posies, ashes, ashes, and we all fall down" and I was taught that pockets full of posies represented how plague doctors would put flowers in their mask to hide the smell of rotting corpses and that ashes, ashes was meant to represents how the corpses of plague victims were burned
Ring around the rosies (Which everyone skips over explaining) represents the pustules that would form on the skin, esp in the nether regions. Your Rosies.

"In a situation that thankfully would never be repeated again..."
The irony 😢
Actually, while some of the symptoms of the pestilence in the 1340s (which was actually called the Great Mortality at the time- the term "Black Death" not being invented until the 1820s) match up with yersinia pestis, which was discovered in the 1890s, some of the symptoms are more in line with anthrax, and anthrax spores have actually been found in mass graves of plague victims. It's likely that there were concurrent outbreaks of both diseases happening at the same time, with possibly others still piggy-backing on them.
🤓 🤓🤓
Symptoms of the same disease can change - we saw that with Covid whereas initially it was respiratory only, subsequent strains had more GI symptoms
“So how did they get rid of the Black Plague? You know, just asking for a friend.”
The Black Death is not the same as COVID
Very informative video. Kudos. (Although the music was pretty annoying.)
The background is over powering your voice. Feels like someone's play Medal of Honor in the background.

7:57 "....they clearly missed the entire point of their religion...." How true!

"Demonstrating that they missed the entire point of their religion"
Now I know I'm not crazy to think that religious supremacy also goes against most religions' teachings.

I like how he said we won't have to worry a out another plague to go through yet this was 3 months ago while covid is going on
I know right
Its a joke...
Except covid is a cough not a plague
Covid is not comparable to a plague
Bruh I rather go through COVID because I know I have a high chance to live the Black Death you have 20% chance to even live if you get Covid you have a chance you get the Black Death just plan your funeral
