Please read the two articles in your packet titled Spreading of the Black Death and The Black Death • Answer the following questions: • How did the Black Death enter Europe? • What are the two types of plagues and how and they different? • What are some of the explanations for the spread of the plague? • How did the plague effect the family structure? • How many people were killed by the plague? • How did the church deal with the plague?
Children Partially due to the lack of children's skills to provide for themselves, the children suffered. A common nursery rhyme is proof. Ring a-round the rosy Pocket full of posies Ashes, ashes! We all fall down! Ring around the rosy: rosary beads give you God's help. A pocket full of posies: used to stop the odor of rotting bodies which was at one point thought to cause the plague, it was also used widely by doctors to protect them from the infected plague patients. Ashes, ashes: the church burned the dead when burying them became to laborious. We all fall down: dead. Not only were the children effected physically, but also mentally. Exposure to craziness, and (obviously) abundant death was premature. The decease of family members left the children facing death and pain at an early age. Parents even abandoned their children, leaving them to the streets instead of risking the babies giving them the dreaded "pestilence". Children were especially unlucky if they were female. Baby girls would be left to die because parents would favor male children that could carry on the family name.

NEW YORK (CNN) --A New Mexico couple who traveled to New York have been hospitalized with what is believed to be the first case of bubonic plague in the city in a century, said health officials. The couple arrived in the city last Friday and went to the hospital two days later with high fever and swollen lymph nodes. The man, 53, is in critical condition and on life support at a Manhattan hospital; his 47-year-old wife is in stable condition, said officials. Both are in isolation at the hospital. "Today, we are announcing what are likely to be the first cases of bubonic plague in New York City in 100 years," said Dr. Thomas Frieden, the health commissioner of New York City. Tests on the man were "presumptive positive" for the plague, and his wife is suffering from similar symptoms, with tests pending, he said. It could be as long as 48 hours before health officials get official confirmation that the two have the plague, he said. Frieden cautioned New Yorkers not to be alarmed by the news. Bubonic plague "does not spread from person to person," he said. "There is no risk to New Yorkers from the two individuals who are being evaluated for plague," Frieden said. "These patients became ill within 48 hours of arriving in New York City. Therefore, we are confident that their exposure occurred in New Mexico." More than half of the plague cases in the United States are in New Mexico, Frieden said. A wood rat and fleas from the rodent that were found on the couple's property in Santa Fe, New Mexico, tested positive in July for plague, Frieden said. Bubonic plague is a bacterial disease in rodents transmitted to humans through the bites of infected fleas. Pneumonic plague, a more serious form of the disease, occurs when plague bacteria are inhaled after direct contact with infected animals, including rodents, wildlife and pets. (Nov. 8, 2002)
