Your CDC needs to craft the panic scenario.

Stop supplying catnip to New York. Ethel and Italios can lead the hysteria

Last interesting factoid: contrary to the belief that you contracted plague and died shortly after, the reality seemed to be that the disease took 37 days to manifest itself fully. For the first 12 days, you weren't contagious. Then for the next 20 days, you were highly contagious. Then, the last 5-7 days, you manifested the virulent symptoms and died.

Of course, this is all stuff that is being slowly studied and science isn't entirely sure on what caused it and why it spread so fast, when successive plague outbreaks spread so slowly.

Now, make that into a highly panic-inducing scenario and send it to NYC for Ethel and Italios to manage.

I always thought I'd learned that the disease existed and was contagious within people before they showed symptoms or dead, I assumed that was one of the reasons it spread so quickly.

And will do, Ethel and Italios better stock up on a few months' worth of catnip now.

Well, the thing is that until recently, it was believed that the transmission rate had to do with the spread of the black rats that were infested with the fleas that carried the disease. But apparently, blaming the black rats was a mistake. Some investigators do not think that the rats were to blame for the spread of the disease. Most definitely, because of the speed with which it spread, it had to be human to human contact that did it.

Would make anyone want to become a hermit indeed.

This thread seems to be moving faster than the last one. I'm probably wrong, but it feels that way.

Edit: Nope, I was right. Last TET took almost two months to reach 500 pages.

You were determined to figure that out.

Well, it wasn't exactly very difficult to find out.

The last tet was created 2 tete ago, and stuck in a storage locker, to be used, later. I guess the title mist have been real good or somethijg. so cut the time in about half.

I think I read something, that some theorized that it may have actually gone airborne.

Because you expect me to write without typos. Your mistake.

Three tet ago, either Luna and blaat, or tsar and blaat both created new tets. One was used, the other stuck in the evidence locker, when the first one was done, the second was pulled out for our use, but it still had its original creation date. So on that particular tet, (the last one) the creation date is not the same as the first use date.

How's that?

Weird stuff going on lately. Things are going to be a pain.

Jus thought I would drop by and say hello. Hope you all are alright.

Feeling a bit run down today. Got Grandparents visiting later and then I can watch some more of The Bridge with the bf, though, so things might improve.

Assuming that we're talking about Yersinia pestis-associated plague, I think that rather depended on the type of plague.

Yersinia pestis causes three different types of plague, which are sometimes confused.

The first type is the famous bubonic plague; this has an incubation rate of 2-6 days, with death usually occurring between 10-14 days after infection. This is typically spread by infected fleas. The mortality rate for infected individuals is about 40-60% if left untreated, but several effective treatments exist these days.

The second type is pneumonic plague; while much rarer than bubonic plague, this is the type usually held to be behind stories of apparently healthy individuals suddenly dropping dead, and has a mortality rate of over 90% if left untreated. This is a lung infection typically spread by breathing in infected air droplets exhaled by other infected individuals.

The third, and rarest, type is septicaemic plague. This is a blood infection, typically caused by an open wound coming into contact with infected tissue. Untreated, it has a 100% mortality rate, and treatment has to occur within 24 hours of infection; it can kill within hours of symptoms presenting.

The 'Black Death' was most likely a combination of all three of these; hence the accounts of most of the infected dying after developing the characteristic buboes of bubonic plague, with the stories of previously healthy people dying overnight likely relating to victims of pneumonic plague or speticaemic plague.



Finally, all of that reading about late classical and early medieval plague comes in handy...
