Reflections of Pandemic

Not since the black plaque (Yersinia pestis, which results in several forms of plague (septicemic, pneumonia and, the most common, bubonic)) in the middle of 13 Century, will change the world, the plague change, by killing 75 Million to 200 Million, from Asia to Europe (In Europe 40% to 50% or 60% (suggested by Norwegian historian Ole Benedictow, The Black Death: The Greatest Catastrophe Ever, History Today 55: 3 March 2005; Cf. Benedictow, The Black Death 1346–1353: The Complete History, Boydell Press (7 Dec. 2012), pp. 380 ) of population lost (Half of Paris's population of 100,000 people died. In Italy, the population of Florence was reduced from 110,000–120,000 inhabitants in 1338 down to 50,000 in 1351. At least 60% of the population of Hamburg and Bremen perished and a similar percentage of Londoners may have died from the disease as well. London approximately 62,000 people died between 1346 and 1353. Before 1350, there were about 170,000 settlements in Germany, and this was reduced by nearly 40,000 by 1450. In 1348, the plague spread so rapidly that before any physicians or government authorities had time to reflect upon its origins, about a third of the European population had already perished. In crowded cities, it was not uncommon for as much as 50% of the population to die. The disease bypassed some areas, and the most isolated areas were less vulnerable to contagion. Monks, nuns, and priests were especially hard-hit since they cared for victims of the Black Death. The estimate for the Middle East, including Iraq, Iran, and Syria, during this time, is for a death toll of about a third of the population. The Black Death killed about 40% of Egypt's population)), the destruction created a Middle Class, forcing the increase of the wages (Landowners were also pushed to substitute monetary rents for labour services in an effort to keep tenants) and force Europe to resolve, social and political stagnation, including losing the grips of Religion (Monks, nuns death from take care the sick). The plague from source in China traveling through Silk Road via flea, which survive up to 12 months enough to transmitted the Bacterium, and using rats is secondary host, Europe persecution of witches depleted Cats who be able to control rat population, make easy the transmission.  

While blaming where against Jews, friars, foreigners, beggars, pilgrims lepers and Romani, while they were casualty, the reason because the social isolation were least expose to the Bacterium, with Europe being pounded nature reclaim and re-forestation, some assume this contributed to little Ice Age.

The consequence for the Jews: There were many attacks against Jewish communities, Strasbourg massacre of February 1349, about 2,000 Jews were murdered, August 1349 the Jewish communities in Mainz and Cologne were annihilated. By 1351, 60 major and 150 smaller Jewish communities had been destroyed. During this period many Jews relocated to Poland, where they received a welcome from King Casimir the Great.

The cities become renew, and dictated by plague the changes, while there was second wave (plague repeatedly returned to haunt Europe and the Mediterranean throughout the 14th to 17th centuries) and third (1855–1859). The Italian Renascence occur with enough wealth for city rebuild and influx Greek Scholars from Byzantium, setting an intellectual revolution for the Age of Discovery, especially the formalization of Navigation (Wooton David, 2015. The Invention of Science: A new History of the Scientific Revolution pp. 163-211, Harpes Collins).

The plague change the world, now 21 century our plague, beginning from Communist Party in China not just slow respond early and suppressed the information about the virus, being trace by November, by saving faces the only option was mitigation a quarantine for more than 3 months, the fact to 44 year old Medical Doctor who inform the world of the outbreak, China try to discrete the MD, eventually paying with his own life, while mitigation work, and the only instrument we have since any Vaccine can be 18 months to 36 Months, science takes time, since developing toxin against the virus.

Since the world had renew authoritarian white supremacist Governments since for them Science is to be used instrument of power, when Science do not fit, the idea to undermine, in the US the White Supremacist Regime and Republican Party representing the ideology, the COV-19 did not fit their reelection plans, when in the middle of February, saying only 15 People infected now with be reduce to 0, then saying in April , like common cold, warmer weather disappear, the anti-sciences view of Religious groups, since Science through fact, given a different view the Universe was not created 6 days or 6000 days, but closed 13 Billions, where Biology DNA give us we, are product of Biological Evolution, Humans as branch of Primates, the irrationality where praying in an irony, we do not need pray, we need safety equipment, ventilator, and isolation which save Europe while take must of population, where insanity in Religious communities where Preachers challenge reality now themselves victims, Churches and Synagogues are become center, because, not just anti-science, but irrationality, they become grounds for virus spread. Since the appeal of Religion is community, belonging feeling especial, now is infecting then the high contagious virus killing them, and affecting the population.

The denial and looking for Miracles drugs no unique white supremacist administration in US, not accident the virus take root in Northern Italy, where Salvini Fascist ideology run the provinces, where they when Denial and hide the epidemic, and since Economy dependent on Tourist, where Austria White Supremacist ideology prevail and reflected in Conservative regime, the ski season will not stop the economics infected Northern Europe, Germany, Denmark. Iceland, Sweden, Norwegian, the infection in Spain occur when Valencia Football team play in Northern Italy, not Just Fascist Salvini, but Forza Italy white supremacist, the irrationality where the Santini in Florida, refuse to closed the beaches because economic of spring break, the consequence the spread of epidemic. No just Florida, but all Southern states where white supremacist ideology is identity, now they become in pandemic, whiles the same Japan needed economic up lift, Japanese government find itself in pandemic, Turkey strongman hidden epedimic, Russia had from early January an epidemic of pneumonia cases and death, in the words of Doctor Zhivago, there is not Cholera during Bolshevik, the coronation of the new Czar (Putin), will be not deny. Including irrational behavior British Prime minister, by boasting he shakes hands of every person in recent visit to a hospital, which had Patient with COV-19, Bolzano in Brazil, the white supremacist ideology/strong man become infected with pseudo-science, as Wotton, mention Newton was into Alchemy, the reason you learn from a master, the knowledge cannot be question, the same appeal in the religious sects from orthodox Jews, Christians, or Muslin, they are protected because God, their, infect their own communities, but others due how contagious

The consequence, since in the US, especially in the South, the slave intuitions created white entitlement, health care, education, wealth class, status, race, ethnicity and religion, become privilege. As Russian prime minister respond to teachers complaining the low wages, find another job. In US health care is a privilege, why my taxes should pay, while US have must expensive care, as pandemic had demonstrate not quality lack of beds since just in time do not allot redundancy, in a pandemic a most, the fact under insurance, co-pays or not health insurance, do seek medical consult, since epidemics are contiguous, impact society, the lack insurance, the cost of higher education (Liberty University by forcing back students into the Campus now students are sick due COV-19 infected the town an surrender area), this is not privilege, society pay through taxes, from Medical Research or general research, from property taxes, nonprofit, they benefit from the system to does believe are entitle (in 17 century the Prince in Hannover, exile 7 instructors to Göttingen, because the ask for better pay—the privilege of class). While, the economic change due plutocrat capitalism, maximizes the profits minimize cost workers, irony we are in Artisan Economy not just quality, but individual demand, so dislocation, where oligarchy refused to the dislocation, using argument of white entitlement, but not wanted a solution, the used universal income, universal healthcare, free higher education, with public houses, we all pay through taxes, but the oligarchy want benefit only, them, like Russian Revolution, and the reasons of rise National Socialism in the 30’s (their support come low middle class, artisans), the nationalism driving the current white administration, refuse to accept 1 Million test offer by World Health Administration, due the faulty test missing chance to isolate cases, before the system in crises today.
