The plague was whipped 3 times in 1 day
This medieval plague was at the root of the modern pathogenic plague
Every 100 years there has been an epidemic like the Corana in the last 200 years. In the fourth decade of the 19th century, the Great Plague, known as the Black Death, spread from China's Silk Road to Europe. Rats that spread the virus were very common in China. The Black Death epidemic, which spread from China to Europe, killed 38 million people in five years, accounting for 80 percent of Europe's population.
There were two types of Black Death epidemics in Europe. The first pneumonia in which there was a high fever and vomiting of blood and the patient died within 2 or 3 days. Another type was bubonic plague, in which lumps appeared in the patient's thighs and armpits with a high fever. Although this was not a cure, it was adopted.
Most people in Europe understood this catastrophe to be the wrath of God. The horrific practice of whipping oneself was born out of this as people tried different ways to prevent the disease. According to this practice, people used to whip their own body 3 times in 1 day for 3 days. Gradually this practice became very prevalent in Europe and America which later took a religious form. In the 19th century, a disease known as the Black Death was later discovered to be a plague caused by the Yersinia pestis virus. This medieval plague was at the root of all kinds of modern pathogenic plague.
An examination of medieval corpses in a London cemetery revealed that people at the time did not have the ability to cope with the virus responsible for the Black Death. Never before in human history has there been such a large number of viruses or bugs. Europe's art and culture were also badly damaged by the Black Death. It took Europe years to come out of this Black Death and develop. After 5 years of continuous black care, the effects of Black Death began to wane.
