Topic: Plague Riot


In the News (Tue 14 Feb 12)

  
  Plague: Yersinia pestis
Plague or fl death is an infection of rodents caused by Yersinia pestis and accidentially transmitted to humans by the bite of infected fleas.
Plague is endemic in the U.S. Here is a picture of the endemic regions.
As the epidemic of bubonic plague develops (especially under conditions of severe overcrowding, malnutrition, and heavy flea infestation), it eventually shifts into a predominately pneumonic form, which is far more difficult to control and which has 100 percent mortality.

  Plague Riot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Plague Riot (Чумной бунт in Russian) was a riot in Moscow between September 15 and September 17 of 1771, caused by an outbreak of bubonic plague.
The first signs of plague in Moscow appeared in the late 1770, which would turn into a major epidemic in the spring of 1771.
An attempt by the Archbishop of Moscow Ambrosius to prevent the citizens from gathering at the Icon of the Virgin Mary of Bogolyubovo (Икона Боголюбской Богоматери) in Kitai-gorod as a quarantine measure served as an immediate cause for the Plague Riot.

 History in Focus: Medical History
Part of the reason why no important model emerges is that while we are told that plagues are defined as great epidemic or pandemic disasters, as the discussion proceeds and the numbers of examples multiply it becomes apparent that many of these cannot really be considered as plagues.
Likewise, it is difficult to consider that AIDS is really a plague: the threat posed by this virus is indeed frightening; yet mortality rates have increased only slowly, spread over a considerable number of years and recent estimates suggest that overall mortality rates will remain at these low levels.
Plagues is highly readable, but is of probably only limited interest for most historians, although those working on the history of science in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries should look at the appropriate sections.

 Telegraph | Arts | Plucked from the flames
Plague, a familiar menace, struck in 1665 with a virulence never experienced before or since.
But he succeeds in elucidating the broader impact of the disaster: its consequences for English Catholics (widely blamed as the Fire's instigators); for the much harassed government of Charles II; and, in the longer term, for the present-day appearance and layout of the capital.
To put this in context: the current death rate in London from all infectious diseases is 5 per 100,000; in 1665 it was 20,000 per 100,000.

 Albert Camus [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
In the late 40’s his growing reputation as a writer and thinker was enlarged by the publication of La Peste (The Plague), an allegorical novel and fictional parable of the Nazi Occupation and the duty of revolt, and by lecture tours to the United States and South America.
The Plague (1947) — Set in the coastal town of Oran, Camus’ second novel is the story of an outbreak of plague, traced from its subtle, insidious, unheeded beginnings through its horrible, all-encompassing, and seemingly inescapable dominion to its eventual climax and decline, all told from the viewpoint of one of the survivors.
However, the plague metaphor is both more complicated and more flexible than that, extending to signify the Absurd in general as well as any calamity or disaster that tests the mettle of human beings, their endurance, solidarity, sense of responsibility, compassion, and will.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Martin Luther
The plague which afflicted Wittenberg in 1516 found him courageously at his post, which, in spite of the concern of his friends, he would not abandon.
While in this new valuation he still retains the character of a disputatious, puritanical polemist, erratic in conduct, surly in manner, irascible in temper, biting in speech, it invests him with a shrinking reluctance to adopt any action however radical without the approval of the congregation or its accredited representatives.
In the light of the same researches, it was the mild and gentle Melancthon who prodded on Carlstadt until he found himself the vortex of the impending disorder and riot.

PARIS - President Jacques Chirac for the first time directly addressed the inequalities and discrimination that have fueled two weeks of rioting across France, saying Thursday that the country has “undeniable problems” in its poor neighborhoods.
Police, meanwhile, suspended eight officers, two of them suspected of beating a man arrested during the riots.
Chirac had kept largely silent about France’s worst unrest since the 1968 uprising by students and workers, speaking publicly about the crisis only once in a brief address focused on security measures.
