Marmots are a reservoir for the plague bacteria. Steppe people eat marmots. If under cooked the bacteria survive infecting the eater.
How come nobody ever goes out in public and catches something beneficial?
I believe there is a solid link
between GSM(Grand Solar Minimum)s and
major plagues that originate in China.
Something to do with the magnetosphere?
We know far more about such things now but
the population(density) is much larger so
who knows.

Interesting. Thanks!
For later
Looks like it took over a generation to get from (thailand?) before 1320 to NW Europe.
What an interesting paper, thanks for posting this.
I am just wondering... what is it about China that makes it susceptible to viral and bacterial outbreaks?
What? Squirrel and dumplings can kill you? I always thought it was kinda creepy with them little skulls floating in it but deadly? Really?
Sounds like a good use of research funds.
But, but, but ACE-2 receptors.
There was a Traveldoc show with someone hanging out with modern day Mongolians. His host shot a marmot for dinner. He cooked it by stuffing hot coals into the belly. The narrator mentioned this method of cooking is dangerous because it doe s not get hot enough to kill the plague bacteria.
what is it about China that makes it susceptible to viral and bacterial outbreaks?......Poor education, poor hygiene, little clean running water,and an utter disregard for your neighbor citizens wellbeing.
Oh, don't be ridiculous. Trump's not nearly that old!
That might need 1000 pages to answer. One thing is for sure - China’s present top-down communist structure of government is, in effect, really no different from its previous imperial system.
The plague of Justinian’s era (believe to be bubonic & pneumonic) was much worse. Probably set the Middle East up for the Muslim invasions. its thought that the nascent Islamic Arab state centering around Mecca\Medina was off primary trade route trail and missed the full force of the plague. later they burst out of the desert and hit this empty sack of Roman & Sassanid Persian garrisons. The rest is history.
Large population - allows diseases to incubate and spread.
Presence of domesticated animals - lots of diseases come from livestock....less advanced societies don’t get nearly as many
poor hygiene.
I always wondered why all nasty diseases originate in China.
I am a Bubonic Plague survivor. I contracted it from a defective batch of vaccine in 1970. I was hospitalized for 23 days. It is as bad as the stories tell.
