Be me

how new are you? People have been doing that on Veeky Forums since before reddit existed

t. reddit

stop saying bubonic plague when referring to airborne plague, its
>bubonic is transmitted via animals
>septicemic is via blood
>pneumonic is via air

medieval doctors didn't know that at all, the believed in miasma in all cases

actually most people believed that it was a plot by the jews muslims and lepers to poison the christians of europe

I thought /pol/ didn't exist until just over a decade ago?

It was a plot by mongols. they catapulted plague infected corpses into European cities purposefully to spread plague. idk if mongols had converted to islam that at that point, but calling it a plot by muslims isn’t inaccurate if they had.

Did plague mask actually work, or were they just to stop the smell of shit and decay?

though it wasn't about mongols catapulting corpses into European cities, it was about Jews and Muslims having several purity laws that gave some very basic protection against disease that didn't exist in Christianity because of Matthew 15:11. As a result Christians died in droves while Muslims and Jews fared somewhat better.

then Christians would notice this and assume the Heathens were putting something into the water.

Why didn't Poland get plague then?

They worked.

Nope. I know reddit gets memed a lot here but the "be me" shit literally originated on reddit around 2013.

the proof lays in the fact the costumes were used and became iconic. The classic plague dress did not appear until the plague was well under way and had already wrought the majority of its devestation. Most doctors, nurses, and barbers had already been killed off. The few that survived and adopted the plague doctor clothes were the ones that survived and therefore were depicted by artists of that age. If you are looking for a scientific study with control groups proving the plague doctor clothes were better than nothing then you're in the wrong century kid

You know nothing about medicine. Kill self now.

The sources show that they believed in both.

>s a result Christians died in droves while Muslims and Jews fared somewhat better.
Fatality rates varied greatly from region to region. In some places the Muslims did better than the Europeans and in others the opposite is true. Death rates in Egypt reached around 40% while in England around 20% of the population died of plague.

sounds like something only a redditor would know

Yes they did work, although the herbs and aromatics they'd put inside the mask didn't do much

How come Poland/Krakow and Milan got much less affected by the plague than the rest of Europe? All the maps I see of the pandemic, Milan and Krakow are not infected.

not even the plague wants to visit poland

Fucking basques, using they basque magic to avoid the plague.

pretty sad when you try to make a pest doctor joke and you don't know jack about medieval medicine or doctors.

>How come Poland/Krakow and Milan got much less affected by the plague than the rest of Europe?
cats

Milan shut the gates and threw everyone out at the first sight of the illness. Polish used magic.

But why the fuck was Sardinia and Corsica hit so early? Could you even sail there in the dark ages lmao

Even plague fears the Polish warrior.

Here is an interesting depiction of death.
