Madagascar has now a pandemic of bubonic plague, known as a black death in medieval Europe where it killed millions.
Most of the infected die because the disease is spreading through coughs and ends up straight in lungs. Normally bubonic plague comes by touching the pustules the disease forms on skin, found on a skin of another person.
But the lung variation has no time to form those pustules because it kills faster than they are formed. However those who survive the initial attack on lungs, will develop the typical plague symptoms. But by this time they will almost certainly heal from it.
It is not much of a comfort though if 80% of the lung plague patients die to the initial phase.
The most natural cause of plague is however the black rat which carries plague fleas and fleas themselves carry the plague causing bacteria.
European plague disappeared because black rats went extinct and Norwegian rat replaced them in Europe. After the disappearance of black rat, the plague also disappeared eventually.
How can one detect the plague in the blackest of blacks?

TheIt should be possible, it makes bumbs on skin that look like this
Jaxson Lewis
Those are the guys who sold their land for flat screens and don't even try to protect the cute animals They deserve it desu
Joshua Kelly
Madagascar has hundreds of really rare animals not found in anywhere else
Josiah Barnes
Excess population etc
Cooper Wilson
>Madagascar has now a pandemic
Josiah Barnes
Yes and they don't do shit for protecting them. Really grinds my gears m8

> Madagascans have been told to stop the traditional practice of Famadihana - where locals dig up deceased relatives and dance with them before they are re-buried
John Perez
>bubonic Pretty sure it's pneumonic, which is worse
Benjamin Powell
What, do you expect people who are just barely not animals themselves capable of caring for other animals? Did our ancestors create wild life reservs? Seen any sabertooths or mammoths lately?
Nolan Young
>81662058 yes they have tried , killing an auroch was punished by death in poland . Obviously it did not work perfectly.
Jordan Richardson
>tfw no qt pet mammoth
Brody Young
more niggers dying the better
Landon Nelson
Is that an orc?

How do cultures like these survive? Why hasn't every practitioner of it died from disease long before modern medicine was introduced?
Charles Hernandez
they survived in times when villages were far enough from each other and traveling time was slow, so that plague or some other disease killed only one village and then ran out of hosts
Jace Foster
They just survive, don’t exactly thrive or spread.
Ethan Lee
I would imagine the survivors have better immune systems than people relying completely on American medicine
Cameron Ramirez
Hypothetically, its evidently not enough though
Daniel White
Heavy contact with curable and not that infectious diseases tends to do that to the body yes, but the plague sadly does not fit the second criteria.
Daniel Ross
>5 is it extremely infectious?
Jeremiah Johnson
The plague? yes, considering the type of lives that these people have. Personal space is a concept foreign to them.
Benjamin Russell
Some mexicans still have picnics with dead people.
Owen Parker
This is correct
Angel Clark
mfw ancient slavs burned corpses and when orthodogsy came they started to bury them
Joseph Martinez
is this serious or just another ebola
Julian Lopez
Kek what
Nathan Evans
It is contained to Madagascar for now so unless boats are made shipping to the African mainland it is not something to worry about.
Ryan Peterson
may be worse than ebola but only for those who live in the area of infections
I don't see how plague could spread far in civilized places, we dont even have the flea species that helps in spreading the infections
Or the black rats If Norwegian rats would disappear from Central and Northern Europe, then black rats might replace them which would be bad
Nolan Rogers
It's not spread by fleas. It's airborne
Evan Nguyen
It spreads by bodily fluids carried by fleas(and everything they might be able to feed on) and in this case ALSO by droplets (airborne).
