A disease caused by the bacteria in the fleas. The fleas go on the rats. Then some of the fleas get onto the humans and bite them. The Black plague killed 1/3 of the population in Europe. Which caused so much damage to Europe.

The fleas bit the rats, usually black rats. The rats then get near the humans, because they usually had them everywhere. The fleas would jump off onto a human, and bite them. The human would get infected and not know so they would just be walking around coughing everywhere, just thinking it's a tiny cold. They would then go to a different country or something, and infect everyone there.]]> 2017-01-24 18:40:13 UTC https://padlet.com/brianna_lee/7psia33j5a80/wish/149124722 3.)How did the Black Death affect people in the 14th century? brianna_lee https://padlet.com/brianna_lee/7psia33j5a80/wish/149125056 In less than two years 30% to 60% of the population of Europe was wiped out. Nearly 75 million died in western Europe alone. 18000 people died in London in the course of three years. Almost 1/3 of the worlds population had died from the plague by 1350. Estimates go from 100 to 200 million deaths worldwide.The mortality rate of the bubonic plague was 30% to 75% percent. Within 1-7 days the first symptoms occurred, including fever, nausea, headache and an infection the lymph nodes.]]> 2017-01-24 18:40:57 UTC https://padlet.com/brianna_lee/7psia33j5a80/wish/149125056 4.)How have recent diseases affected the modern world? brianna_lee https://padlet.com/brianna_lee/7psia33j5a80/wish/149125294 How recent diseases affected our modern world today is that our population has gone down a little bit. 2 of the worst ones are Cancer and the Zika virus. How is too many kids and adults are getting this. Smoking, you can get lung cancer,  just sitting under the UV lights from the sun or a tanning bed could possibly give you skin cancer. How I know is that my Aunt got skin cancer, and got treated. To get the Zika virus is a pregnant woman could already have it and give it to there child. Like I already said it brings the population down, going through my research. I noticed that just in Kentucky, 2,004 women have the zika virus. Even if don't sound a lot it will keep happening and happening.]]> 2017-01-24 18:41:32 UTC https://padlet.com/brianna_lee/7psia33j5a80/wish/149125294 Blog brianna_lee https://padlet.com/brianna_lee/7psia33j5a80/wish/149709566 https://kidblog.org/class/5th-period-7th-grade-social-studies/posts/dmfgs5m5o1oeu3u5v1gleknvg]]> 2017-01-26 18:31:29 UTC https://padlet.com/brianna_lee/7psia33j5a80/wish/149709566 Resources brianna_lee https://padlet.com/brianna_lee/7psia33j5a80/wish/149782957 Everything-http://www.shsu.edu/~his_ncp/Boccaccio.html
