But was it discounted?

 

The great plague happened several times mate. I think the first time was in the 14th century. It was called the Black Death. Then came back a couple of hundred years later in 1665.

Regarding the nursery rhyme the reference to "ring of roses" I don't know the origin but it refers to the garlands of flowers ppl would hang outside to take away the stench from the smell of the puss filled infection and of the corpses which nobody wanted to go near so were often left to rot.

 

Not sure that I agree with the companies being too open. I was already aware that on the AstraZeneca trial, that one person has already had a bad reaction. As far has I know, no details were released other than it is likely that it fell into one of three major categories. To release that sort of detail would just start scare mongering. The reality of the situation tells us, that things will go wrong, that's advancement, but at least we know something went wrong, and that they took a step back and you start again.

 

Bad smell in the winter month's where flowers don't grow en....... Or maybe they used Lavender or sativa now that would smell nice dried out together..... Better than any old rotten corpse for sure

 

A tailor ordered a bundle of cloth because he thought he could turn a profit.

Anyway my reason for posting the story was because I found the attitude of the villagers (considering they knew nothing of social distancing or quarantining) quite interesting compared to the attitude of quite a few morons who haven't got a clue today.

Eyam is not that far from Oldham.

 

I didn't expect you to agree with me dude..... Tiz par for the course.

Why have you got an issue about transparency....., surely you would want to know what is in said vaccine and what possible side effects it could have.

 

They also feared the church and a barbaric crown ...... So putting the fear of hell into an uneducated people would have been easier than it is today.

 

541-546AD was worse, 2 years of no sunlight followed by the Bubonic plague which killed 100 million people.

 

Yeh a lot of people thought they were enduring God's wrath for the sins of the world. Groups would gather and flagellate (great word, horrible practise). But ironically that sort of mass hysteria scared the **** out of the Church and they wanted no part of it.

 

Was that before or after the locusts and death of the first born mate?

 

Hold on I'll ask your brother.

 

Tbh I hadn't heard of the 2 years of no sunlight but tbf it does sound biblical!

 

Really that's not like the church 2 distance itself from something it could claim for its own needs...... Eg running with said fear converting more and selling em passes to the VIP lounge in heaven

I can't claim any expert view on it tbh Aber, I watched it all on a BBC4 documentary last night.

 

I'll ask Tobes..... He will know
