Hmm... this may work into my plans for a story....

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Orders sent.

 

[TerrisH]

orders send, and the building of a new city in grand style is about to start.

 

[Wubba360]

Don't worry some of the population will have a natural immunity to the disease so once it goes through it will kill off the ones who are not genetically fit to defeat the disease and then teeter off.

all of this immunity to diseases that they have never encountered makes no sense, if this disease originated across the great sea I expect Fizcat to be resilients but us across the pond should be completely defenseless

 

[Silver Steak]

Will send orders soon. Sorry for delay.

 

[Luckymoose]

Sending orders now.

To: Terra Trifluentia
From: Emperor Victor of Imperial Tephen

We ask of you for longing peace on the great river. We see no need for great wars, Tephen is peaceful and only wish for peaceful lifestyles. But we will not let other nations push us around. If you ever invade us, the horsemen will ride against you.

Ordes coming this morning.

 

[Wubba360]

orders have been sent

Actaully some people just have the right genetics. It may be a random mutation or something else wubba. Many people during the Black Plague had a natural immunity despite them never being in contact with the disease before.

I am not saying it will be a large amount of people more like 2% of the people.

 

[Wubba360]

ok, it just is pretty annoying when an entire group of people happen to be immune and are completely foreign to it, so i have no problem with a large majority of a nation being unaffected, but when an entire nation passes it by, it seems annoying.

Alot depends upon how it is transmitted. With the Black Death, unless you were bitten by the fleas you were safe. How is this disease transmitted? is it airborne?

 

[The Farow]

It is an airborne disease spread by people coughing on eachother or making physical contact.

Your people do not know this though.

Figures.

Orders almost done.

 

[jalapeno_dude]

Orders sent!

 

[Birdjaguar]

Me too..... JD, any ETA on your update?

 

[Silver Steak]

Wait for me!

EDIT: Orders sent!

 

[Luckymoose]

jd diplo anwser please.

 

[jalapeno_dude]

jd diplo anwser please.

We agree to an NAP.

Erm, no? The Black Death would spread from person to person very well; that's a typical characteristic of hemmorhagic fever.

There might well be multiple transmission paths. If the following is incorrect or outdated, I do want to know:

http://www.insecta-inspecta.com/fleas/bdeath/Trasmission.html

How was the Black Death transmitted? The three forms of the Black Death were transmitted two ways. The septicemic and bubonic plague were transmitted with direct contact with a flea, while the pneumonic plague was transmitted through airborne droplets of saliva coughed up by bubonic or septicemic infected humans.

The bubonic and septicemic plague were transmitted by the the bite of an infected flea. Fleas, humans, and rats served as hosts for the disease. The bacteria (Yersinia pestis) multiplied inside the flea blocking the flea's stomach causing it to be very hungry. The flea would then start voraciously biting a host. Since the feeding tube to the stomach was blocked , the flea was unable to satisfy its hunger. As a result, it continued to feed in a frenzy. During the feeding process, infected blood carrying the plague bacteria , flowed into the human's wound. The plague bacteria now had a new host. The flea soon starved to death.

The pneumonic plague was transmitted differently than the other two forms . It was transmitted through droplets sprayed from the lungs and mouth of an infected person. In the droplets were the bacteria that caused the plague. The bacteria entered the lungs through the windpipe and started attacking the lungs and throat.

The bubonic plague was the most commonly seen form of the Black Death. The mortality rate was 30-75%. The symptoms were enlarged and inflamed lymph nodes (around arm pits, neck and groin). The term 'bubonic' refers to the characteristic bubo or enlarged lymphatic gland. Victims were subject to headaches, nausea, aching joints, fever of 101-105 degrees, vomiting, and a general feeling of illness. Symptoms took from 1-7 days to appear.

The pneumonic plague was the second most commonly seen form of the Black Death. The pneumonic and the septicemic plague were probably seen less then the bubonic plague because the victims often died before they could reach other places (this was caused by the inefficiency of transportation). The mortality rate for the pneumonic plague was 90-95% (if treated today the mortality rate would be 5-10%). The pneumonic plague infected the lungs. Symptoms included slimy sputum tinted with blood. Sputum is saliva mixed with mucus exerted from the respiratory system. As the disease progressed, the sputum became free flowing and bright red. Symptoms took 1-7 days to appear.

The septicemic plague was the most rare form of all. The mortality was close to 100% (even today there is no treatment). Symptoms were a high fever and skin turning deep shades of purple due to DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation). According to Dr. Matt Luther, Vanderbilt University Medical Center "The plague often caused DIC in severe forms, and DIC can be fatal. The picture above demonstrates what DIC can look like. In its most deadly form DIC can cause a victims skin to turn dark purple. The black death got its name from the deep purple, almost black discoloration." Victims usually died the same day symptoms appeared. In some cities, as many as 800 people died every day.
