  • That Historical Plague Was Pure Epidemics of Primary Pneumonic Plague
    CHAPTER THIRTEEN GUNNAR KARLSSON’S ALTERNATIVE THEORY: THAT HISTORICAL PLAGUE WAS PURE EPIDEMICS OF PRIMARY PNEUMONIC PLAGUE Introduction G. Karlsson presented his alternative theory to the international com- munity of scholars in a paper published in Journal of Medieval History in 1996 where he argues that two late medieval epidemics in Iceland and more generally that plague in medieval Europe were pure epidem- ics of primary pneumonic plague.1 For his epidemiological interpreta- tion, Karlsson bases his alternative theory directly on Morris’s assertion of the occurrence of pure epidemics of primary pneumonic plague, a modality of plague disease spread by interhuman cross-infection by droplets. Th e concept of a pure epidemic of primary pneumonic plague implies that the origin of the epidemic is not a case of bubonic plague which develops secondary pneumonia but a case in which the fi rst vic- tim contracted pneumonic plague directly by inhalation of infected droplets into the lungs. Karlsson’s paper follows quite closely and draws heavily on a paper he published together with S. Kjartansson in an Icelandic journal in 1994 on two supposed plague epidemics in Iceland in 1402–4 and 1494–5 respectively.2 He is clear about its objective: “Th e present article [as the fi rst in Icelandic] can be seen as a defence of the late Jón Steff ensen against Benedictow’s critique of his conclusions,” namely, that these epidemics, and also the Black Death of 1348–9 in Norway were primary pneumonic plague.3 Th us, the central feature of Karlsson’s (and Karlsson’s and Kjartansson’s) paper on the two supposed plague epidemics in fi ft eenth-century Iceland is a comprehensive and sharp criticism of my doctoral thesis (1993, repr.

  • Literature on Ṭāʿūn/Plague Treatises* Mustakim Arıcı** Translated by Faruk Akyıldız***
    Silent Sources of the History of Epidemics in the Islamic World: Literature on Ṭāʿūn/Plague Treatises* Mustakim Arıcı** Translated by Faruk Akyıldız*** Abstract From 1347 onwards, new literature emerged in the Islamic and Western worlds: the Ṭā‘ūn [Plague] Treatises. The literature in Islamdom was underpinned by three things: (i) Because the first epidemic was a phenomenon that had been experienced since the birth of Islam, ṭā‘ūn naturally occurred on the agenda of hadith sources, prophetic biography, and historical works. This agenda was reflected in the treatises as discussions around epidemics, particularly plague, as well as the fight against disease in general in a religious and jurisprudential framework. (ii) Works aimed at diagnosing the plague and dealing with various aspects of it tried to explain disease on the basis of Galenic-Avicennian medicine within the framework of miasma theory, thus deriving their basis from this medical paradigm. (iii) Finally, the encounter with such a brutal illness prompted a quest for all possible remedies, including the occultist culture. This background shaped the language and content of the treatises at different levels. This article first evaluates the modern studies on plague treatises written in the Islamic world. Then, it surveys the Islamic historical sources in order to pin down the meaning they assign to the concepts of wabā’ [epidemic disease] and ṭā‘ūn [plague]. Certain medical works that were the resources for medical doctrines and terminology for plague treatises are also evaluated with a focus on these two concepts. Thus, the aim of this survey is to understand the general conception of epidemic disease and plague in the Islamic world before the Black Death (1346-1353).

  • Covid-19-Revisiting-Daniel-Defoe
    UCL MEDICAL ANTHROPOLOGY Consciously Quarantined: A COVID-19 response from the Social Sciences, April 2020 Revisiting Defoe, or: Why History Matters in the Time of Covid-19 CATHERINE TOURANGEAU Why should history matter in times of crisis? The question is worth pondering. Historians and history teachers are not on the front lines, fighting for people’s lives or providing food and medical supplies. Even their valuable knowledge and understanding of the crises of the past can seem useless and impractical. Every epidemic is different, after all; we can’t very well apply the methods of former times to the current crisis. And yet—history sheds crucial light on the dynamics and behaviors of epidemics over time and space. Studying the experience of our predecessors often offers much-needed lessons in humility and humanity. In the long list of epidemics that have hit western societies over the centuries, the Great Plague of London, which claimed the lives of 100,000 people in the mid-1660s, is perhaps not the obvious case to delve into. The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 and the HIV/Aids pandemic of the 1980s certainly seem more relevant to the current situation. And yet, despite its greater distance in time, the plague epidemic of 1665 highlights a number of significant patterns common to modern epidemics. It also reminds us that even the darkest of human crises eventually give way to luminous days. Compared to most early modern epidemics, the plague of 1665 left a very wide range of documentary traces. Modern historians, indeed, have access to official orders and laws; statistical data and news bulletins; medical and religious treatises; poems and prayers; and even cartoons and works of art.

Communication was a bit of an issue at first but this improved rapidly in time. I generally found that staff at NHS London were doing their best to advise where they could. Teleconferencing was a big help and saved a lot of travel time. One final point is that there wasn't any panic at any time when it was declared to be a pandemic. 2. At some of the meetings members of NHS London could become rather defensive to constructive comments. They appeared to take these as personal attacks. A more open debate on the challenges we were all facing would have been helpful. I hope that the above comments are useful. We look forward to viewing others views and feedback when published on your web-site. Yours sincerely, Claire Murdoch Chief Executive Trust Headquarters, Greater London House, Hampstead Road, London NWl 7QY Tel: 020 3214 5700 Fax: 020 3214 5701 www.cnwi.nhs.uk Dear Sarah, Further to the letter from James Cleverly, Chair of Health and Public Services Committee, and in answer to the questions posed: The Ealing Hospital NHS Trust has yet to complete its local debrief, but in general we believe we responded well to the challenge.

  • Modelling Interacting Epidemics in Overlapping Populations
    Modelling Interacting Epidemics in Overlapping Populations Marily Nika1, Dieter Fiems2, Koen de Turck2, and William J. Knottenbelt1 1 Department of Computing, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, United Kingdom, Email: fmarily,[email protected] 2 Ghent University, Department TELIN, St-Pietersnieuwstraat 41, 9000 Gent, Belgium Email: fdieter.fiems,[email protected] Abstract. Epidemic modelling is fundamental to our understanding of biological, social and technological spreading phenomena. As conceptual frameworks for epidemiology advance, it is important they are able to elucidate empirically-observed dynamic feedback phenomena involving interactions amongst pathogenic agents in the form of syndemic and counter-syndemic effects. In this paper we model the dynamics of two types of epidemics with syndemic and counter-syndemic interaction ef- fects in multiple possibly-overlapping populations. We derive a Markov model whose fluid limit reduces to a set of coupled SIR-type ODEs. Its numerical solution reveals some interesting multimodal behaviours, as shown in our case studies. Keywords: Epidemics, Social Networks, Syndemic, Counter-syndemic 1 Introduction You think because you understand `one' you must also understand `two', because one and one make two. But you must also understand `and'... Rumi (13th century Persian Poet) Epidemics of various kinds have been an important focus of study throughout human history. As health care standards have risen and information technology has advanced over the past half century, our preoccupation with epidemics of a biological nature has lessened while our obsession with epidemics of a social and technological nature has dramatically increased. This has been accompanied by a growing realisation that many of the epidemiological techniques used in the modelling of biological diseases can be readily transplanted into social and tech- nological domains such as content and information diffusion, rumour spreading, gossiping protocols and viral marketing.

  • Secret Assassins
    .. “BIRD FLU” HOAX EXPOSED A. True Ott, PhD –4/5/06 Exactly 30 years ago, in 1976, National Headlines Proclaimed: “Swine Flu Pandemic Poised to Exceed 1918 Death Toll”. The national news media swept America away in an unprecedented fear-based, propaganda campaign to promote what is now recognized as a tremendous money-making hoax designed to enrich large pharmaceutical houses by selling billions of dollars worth of “Swine Flu Vaccinations” to an ignorant public. What stopped the massive scam? Three factors – 1. A few honest congressmen blew the whistle on the conspirators, 2. A few honest microbiologists and medical doctors also went public with the TRUTH, and 3. a precedent-setting series of lawsuits against Rockefeller’s “Big Five” pharmaceutical/vaccine manufacturing houses were victorious; many recipients of the “vaccine”experienced permanent paralysis and even death –all of this caused by the FDA approved and so-called “Safe, Well Tested Vaccine.” Today, alarmingly, THE EXACT SAME SCRIPT PLAYED IN 1976 is once again unfolding on the World Stage. Many of the “players” are the same. The goals of the conspirators are somewhat different however. Money does NOT appear to be the key issue today –POWER, MANIPULATION AND FASCIST CONTROL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE are apparently today the key issues. The Horror Story does not need to be re-written. All one has to do is read and internalize the work honest scientists published in 1976, and the history of the 1918 pandemic. The TRUTH still is TRUTH today, 30 years later. I would personally submit, the stakes are infinitely greater, however.

  • Coronavirus and Recent Market Volatility
    Coronavirus and Recent Market Volatility WHAT IS IT? Coronaviruses are a category of viruses that cause respiratory illness. This includes viruses like the common cold and flu. These can originate in animals and can occasionally infect people. MERS and SARS are a couple examples of types of a coronavirus. This new specific strain, the COVID-19, was first reported in Wuhan, China in December 2019. While officials are still unsure of how the disease was spread to humans, the infection is believed to have come from wildlife that was sold at a local farmer’s market. Wuhan is the 11th largest city in China and is home to more than 11 million people. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS? According to the World Health Organization, some of the symptoms include aches and pains, fever, cough, runny nose, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death. HOW BIG OF A PROBLEM IS THIS? Number of New Confirmed Cases Declining According to the World Health Organization, the number of people infected globally has exceeded 80,000 and the number of deaths total more than 2,700. As of February 25, the World Health Organization states that it is still too early to declare the coronavirus a pandemic. The definition of a pandemic is an epidemic that occurs over a wide geographic area and affects an exceptionally high proportion of the global population. While we are not trying to minimize the severity of this outbreak, it is important to put the magnitude of this virus into context.
