A member asked:
Can you tell me how is the swine flu similar to the black death?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Epidemic diseases: Similarities pretty much end here. Black death is bacterial, highly fatal, carried by animals, very preventable (rat control, keep cats around), transmitted by insects, reaches lungs late, necrotizing lesions in lymph nodes is primary pathology, droplet transmission only late in the epidemic. I'm sorry someone gave you this homework assignment.
