Many of the mistakes made during the outbreak of the Black Death are still an issue as we respond to COVID-19 almost 700 years later. This episode was also a very personal learning experience for us, Indy and Spartacus. Both of us read and studied a lot about the plague when we were younger in the 1980s, Indy even did his BA paper in history on the plague. Back then there was a lot of speculation about what the Black Death actually was (although the general consensus was that it must have been bubonic plague based on the findings made in the 20th century, after the discovery of the <em>Yersinia Pestis<\/em> bacteria). But that conclusion was a bit problematic &mdash; the Black Death was too lethal, spread too fast, and killed people too quickly for bubonic plague. Until we started researching these episodes we hadn&#8217;t spent much thought on the topic, so imagine our surprise when we discovered that bacteriologists, epidemiologists, and archeologists had come together to solve the mystery after two chance occurrences of unusual plague outbreaks in 2014 and 2017. To paraphrase Lord Marlborough: if you want to truly learn something about a topic, there&#8217;s no better way than to make a video about it. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-11-Black-Death-Mystery-Solved-\u2013-Not-Bubonic-Plague-\u2013-Pandemic-History-02.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-11-Black-Death-Mystery-Solved-\u2013-Not-Bubonic-Plague-\u2013-Pandemic-History-02-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-57778\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-11-Black-Death-Mystery-Solved-\u2013-Not-Bubonic-Plague-\u2013-Pandemic-History-02-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-11-Black-Death-Mystery-Solved-\u2013-Not-Bubonic-Plague-\u2013-Pandemic-History-02-853x480.png 853w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-11-Black-Death-Mystery-Solved-\u2013-Not-Bubonic-Plague-\u2013-Pandemic-History-02-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-11-Black-Death-Mystery-Solved-\u2013-Not-Bubonic-Plague-\u2013-Pandemic-History-02-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-11-Black-Death-Mystery-Solved-\u2013-Not-Bubonic-Plague-\u2013-Pandemic-History-02.png 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TimeGhost History Published 10 Jun 2020 From the day the Black Death starts to ravage humanity in 1347, there will be speculation about what it is.
