Document Summary
Video link 1: the black death (plague: the plague started when 12 ships traveled throughout trade routes/ports across europe, near and far east. Boils and apple sized bumps represented the most significant cases: the plague was spread through brief, physical contact between infected individuals. Doctors speculated that this mirrored an infected spirit leaving the body: what complicated the containment was that individuals infected were often asymptomatic for the first few days, meaning that they wouldn"t have known they were infected. A disease that killed civilians also killed trade significantly. Video link #2: coronavirus: coronavirus is from a family of viruses, causing sicknesses anywhere from the common flu to sars. As a result, symptoms of one particular strain present as very similar to others, initially: coronavirus presents itself as a tennis ball sized cell, with spikes. Spikes that latch onto the nose result in the flu. Spikes that latch in the lungs are the coronavirus strain.
