Being a bit of a documentary junkie + science and history nerd, a few years ago I remember watching an interesting program about the Black Death. Scientists were studying a small village somewhere in England (iirc) where there seemed to be a fairly high population of people who were naturally immune to HIV/AIDS. I think this is when they first discovered the mutated CCR5 gene that's HIV/AIDS resistant. Very interesting indeed that they can date its first mutation to 650 years ago, coinciding with the first appearance of the Black Death in Europe. When you add that to the description of what happened to the organs (and other symptoms) of the victims, plus the information about transmission and quarantine, it really seems possible that it wasn't Bubonic Plague (bacterial) at all that they were dealing with back then, but Ebola (virus). I wish I could remember if they even mentioned Ebola in that film... Anyway, it's a facinating theory that would force a change in history books if they end up proving it. http://www.rense.com/general12/bub.htm (just a bit of info about quarantines back in those days, and further support for the article you posted) Quote:

I first thought about it the other day after reading about it's symptoms and how it kills people. "What if the black death was ebola?" Guess I'm not the only one who thought that.
Nobody knows for sure. We only have medieval descriptions to go by, and at the time it was thought to be the plague I'm guessing nobody knew something like ebola existed.

black death's trademark was the presence of bubos (sp) and blackened fingers etc.. not leaking blood out of your mouth/nose/eyes/ears/nipples/ass

You also realize they don't say "it was ebola" and that there were multiple periods of plague which could have been different diseases right? I'll give some more links for you not to read: http://www.rense.com/general12/bub.htm http://www.livescience.com/15937-bla...ue-debate.html Strange to think that scientists are challenging long-held beliefs huh? That never happens.

Yeah, this video cracked me up a little. Obviously from my posts I've been concerned that Ebola might spread, but this lady is going a bit overboard. But in her defense, the people who are supposed to be the experts in dealing with this type of shit failed miserably in every way. That is the reason so many people are freaking out now. We needed strong and knowledgeable leadership but instead they bullshitted us so much that all credibility is just gone. We needed someone in charge who knows what they're doing, not some asshole who came out immediately throwing sick (and now possibly dying) nurses under the bus instead of taking responsibility for failing to implement the correct measures to protect against the disease spreading.
