The Medical Association of Aragua state (north Venezuela) has declared a state of alarm following the death of eight people in the last few hours at the Maracay’s Central Hospital because of an unidentified virus or bacteria. The information was confirmed by the president of the Medical Association in Aragua state, Angel Sarmiento. He explained that four adults and four children died less than 72 hours after being admitted with the same symptoms, including a 40 C-fever, general discomfort, and skin rashes that then turned into blisters. Sarmiento ruled out the possibility that the deaths were caused by Ebola infection, as reported on social networks. Chikungunya fever and dengue virus were also ruled out. He added that doctors were waiting for the results of the autopsies to determine whether it was a viral or bacterial disease.

Sounds like the Black Death to me.  Should I be alarmed that there is seemingly alot of viral outbreaks happening around the world right now?

  • If you research the Black Death it is the same as Ebola. Look up scientist have now confirmed Ebola is the Black Death. And Ebola symptoms are as you said fever, rash and blisters lemon size lumps in the gland areas of the neck, arm pit area and groin. Blisters turn black and boil like or blister rash cover your whole body. In the medieval era people named them Gods tokens, look up victims of Ebola, not a pretty site at all.

    • Ebola is a virus, the bubonic plague is bacteria, big difference. There is a great deal of talk about the possibility that the black death was not from bubonic but from Ebola. It is possible, yet I have seen documentary where they extract teeth from victims of the great plague and they find the remains of the bubonic bacterium.

      More study is needed, but they are NOT the same. Even tho some symptoms might present the same or are similar.
