About

The Black Death was one of the most devastating pandemics in human history, peaking in Europe between 1348 and 1350, and killing between 75 million and 200 million people.[1]

Origin

The Plague of Justinian in the 6th and 7th centuries is the first known attack on record, and marks the first firmly recorded pattern of bubonic plague. From historical descriptions, as much as 40 percent of the population of Constantinople died from the plague.[2]

Symptoms

The most commonly noted symptom was the appearance of buboes (or gavocciolos) in the groin, the neck and armpits, which oozed pus and bled when opened.[3] This was followed by acute fever and vomiting of blood. Most victims died two to seven days after initial infection.[4]

    You might want to explain how it is relevant to the internet and its presence in it. We don't document history.

    Isn't this from April Fools? People were actually making pages relevant to history on that day.
