Biggest Pandemic In Human History Must Read

The Plague of Justinian

The Plague of Justinian, which began in 541 Ad, is considered to be the first and biggest pandemic in human history. The Plague the Eastern Roman Empire was destroyed. At that time, at least more than 5000 people were dying every day.

From children to old people, even animals were in the grip of this plague. And not only this friend, Emperor Justinian himself, the king of the Great Roman Empire, was also caught by this plague.

And that's why this plague is also known as The Justinian Plague.

Anatomy Of An Epidemic

But do you know how this plague was born? Justinian did not give birth to it but came because of some grains.

And friends, these were not such grains. The thing is that the Roman Emperor Justinian had won many empires under his rule.

And one of them was this Egypt. And as a tribute, this grain was sent from Egypt to Constantinople by a merchant ship. Where King Justinian had his own throne.

But along with these grains, Egyptian disease rats were also on board. Who had completely corrupted these grains.

And thus before the ingestion of these contaminated grains, this plague spread everywhere, and at the same time the sick rats from it spread throughout the state.

And then started increasing his number. And then from here the plague began to grow even faster. The Plague of Justinian killed 40% of Europe's population.

At least 25 billion people lost their lives due to this epidemic. And whoever was saved from this terrible Pandemic got credit only for his own strong immunity.

Having a strong immune system was the only cure for this disease. And perhaps Justinian is also called the Great Emperor. Because he was able to recover himself from this plague.

But his own whole military and economy collapsed in the entire empire.

The Black Death

Now friends are not such a great thing of happiness. The Plague of Justinian was not actually finished the whole way. He had just shown only one trailer of his own.

Because after 800 years, it was born again and so much of blood everywhere spread mourning only to death. Scientific research links the plague of Justinian and the Black Death.

From a bacteria that was common in both diseases. This bacteria is the identity yersinia pestis. The Black Death was first originated in China and spread through Europe first through trade.

And there it ended the European population more than today. And perhaps humans had not learned from The plague of Justinian at the time.

Because The Black Death also spread due to a sick mouse. And now you too must be wondering where are these rats coming from. From the same merchant ships, these rats travel from one continent to another by merchant ships.

And similarly the Black Death reached Africa from Europe and Africa from Asia. And according to statistics it killed more than 200 million people.

Now friends apparently talk about when the plague resembles Justinian. So why is it named Black Death brother? This is because it creates a black spot in the victim's body.

And friends, now what I am going to tell you, you will understand and feel it well. The Black Death made the quarantine that you have been doing for many weeks or many months sitting at home today.

And how did this happen? Let's investigate a bit in this matter. At that time the medical field had not progressed as much as we see today.

And that's why doctors and medical researchers were unable to find a cure for the Black Death.

But they were finding that the disease is spreading more among common people than being close to people suffering from the black death.

And at that time, ports were urban centers, where fleas and rats could easily breed. So the Venetian official who was among the very forward-thinking people.

He first created a new rule for new sellers of ships coming to Port Ragusa to bring the epidemic under control.

The most newly arrived sellers of this new rule will have to remain in isolation for 30 days. The Isolation period was then given the name Trentino.

And then as time went by, Vance Low added this forced isolation from 30 days to 40 days. And this new 40-day isolation period was named quarantino.

And this is how it is known today as quarantine. And thus strong immunity and isolation saved the next generation from this epidemic.

But by then all the families were separated from each other and the whole village was empty. And all of Sara's business was stalled.

And the state was bankrupt in away. The Black Death wreaked havoc on humanity. and this the Biggest Pandemic In Human History.
