Read the following information carefully!

Every year thousands of people die, due to wheather related problems. This has been a particular problem in Europe over the last few years. It can happen in both winter and in summer. Let’s examine the causes for a moment. The year 2003 was a time of extreme cold in the winter. Extreme, that is by European standards. In Britain alone, the number of people who died from cold-related illnesses was described as ‘shameful’. Nearly twenty-five thousand people died from illnesses such as strokes, heart attacks, bronchitis, flu and pneumonia. Each of these deaths were though to have been caused by the cold weather. A campaign called ‘The cold can kill’ was launched to give people advice on how to survive the effects of t he cold wheather and freezing temperatures. In the summer of t he same year, around twenty-three thousand people died in Europe due to the sizzling temperatures. France was particulary badly hit, with nearly fifteen thousand death which were related to the sweltering heat. In Britain, the number of heat-related death was much lower than the number of winter deaths. Even so, with temperatures reaching 38oC, the government issued advice to people on how to protect their health. This advice warned that it only took two consecituve days of high temperatures to have significant effects on people’s health. It said that people who became overheated and dehydrated ran the risk of irreversible damage to the body or even death.

    This winter is the worst I have ever witnessed. We have set up fires in our huts in an attempt to stay warm and avoid freezing to death, but it has not worked out so well. In fact it might have actually made the situation slightly worse. Since the cabins do not have good ventilation all the smoke from the fire stays inside, making it hard for us to even breathe. (Document C) It is freezing outside. The weather, more often than not, stays below zero! Many soldiers have been losing their limbs due to frostbite. (Document B) I rather be at…

    During the fourteenth century there were some major disasters that plagued Europe and would result in everlasting changes. War caused by peasant revolts, French and English battle for throne, religious conflicts, famine caused from flooding by heavy rains and devastating arctic weather, were some of the massive dilemmas that Europe faced. “But the cruelest blow of all was the Black Death. This was the name given in Europe to a pandemic (universal) outbreak of a deadly disease, the bubonic plague.” (Lewis, 247). This disease was nothing new for Europe, during the sixth century Europe, the plague had already caused massive damage. But this time around it effected more people’s lives than ever before. (Lewis, 246-247).…

    Influenza has been responsible for many deaths over the years. In the 1300s we discovered the Black Death, this disease, (believed to originate in China) was responsible for killing a quarter of Europe’s population[3]. Perhaps the worst of all influenza outbreaks was the 1918-1919 ‘Spanish flu’ pandemic. “The ‘Spanish flu’ killed more people in a single year than the Black Death caused in Europe over 4 years”…

    Today’s society is filled to the brim with terror and uncertainty of what tomorrow may bring knocking on their front door. Sickness or even death, perhaps? England is hidden in the cloak of sickness known as the Black Death and no matter how hard people try to escape from its folds, no one is safe from this plague. In a panic, healthy people have done all they can to avoid this sickness. The doctors refuse to see patients; the priests refuse to administer last rites. Shopkeepers have closed their stores, and many people have fled the cities for the countryside, but even there people are finding that the plague has spread (“Black Death”). The farmers and retailers of farm produce are also in danger of catching the Bubonic plague due to the fact that there are fleas on their animals (“Spread of the Elizabethan Bubonic Plague in Elizabethan England”). The plague causes many problems for the victim, such as very high fever, delirium, vomiting, muscular pains, and the swelling of lymph nodes.…

    The Black Death, which swept across Europe between 1347 and 1351, had significance in all areas of life and culture: economic, social, psychological, and even religious. It ushered in a new age for all of Europe, in many ways speeding up the change from the medieval to modern era. In under a five year time span, one-third of Europe’s population died. There is some speculation that the toll was actually more than one-third, and could have reached as much as one-half. Entire towns and cities were completely decimated by the illness in extremely brief periods of time. The arrival of the plague, and the speed with which it spread, struck panic across the continent as a whole. It would be safe to say there was not any single individual who did not meet the Black Death in one form or another. The consequences of the plague, and the calamity it brought, were far-reaching.…

    Low pressure atmospheric systems can cause hazards because of severe weather such as blizzards and heavy snowfall, as well as high winds and heavy rainfall. This can have harsh impacts among individuals, being a lead cause of hypothermia, and frostbite, especially those vulnerable, such as the elderly. Also, these depressions can cause crops to be destroyed, and a high mortality rate throughout the spring lambing season. Extreme cold spells can have a massive negative effect on a global scale, but also in a specific country or region.…

    Around 1347 in Western Europe, an Asia epidemic, The Black Death became widely spread through frequent trading with infected cities. In three years’ time, one third or about twenty-five millions of Europe’s population was killed by the plague. The Black Death victims were susceptible to contracting the plague due the seven year famine that occurred directly before the outbreak. Shortage of food, caused by extreme weathers that prevented crop growth, weakened the population’s immunity to deadliest disease in history (Last, John M., 122-123).…

    This research will provide a detailed map about what happened in Europe far before modernization took place, specifically the never- forgotten pandemic of the century known to man as the Black Plague. This outbreak has been the main source of suffering for so many Europeans centuries ago, affecting not only the people but the whole country itself. Ranging from economic to personal, the Black Plague has sought to destroy each and every Englishman alive. All of which started from a simple virus that was not curable at that time, and by the next moment, millions of souls were consumed. It wasted almost half of the living populace in England, and became the prime suspect for so many violent outbursts and famine all around. Undeniably…

    The Black Death is sometimes thought of as the worst and most devastating disease that has ever beset mankind. The plague, another name for this unforgettable catastrophe of the human race, is even used as a cliché in daily life. This momentous disease took place in medieval England, and was one of the worst natural disasters in history. Although, at the time, it may not have been known how it was being brought over, it could have been dealt with more effectively. Fewer people would have died, if more effective measures had been taken.…

    I’m known for medical myth busting that cold weather makes you more likely to catch a cold, I ‘m sorry to say that this continues to be a myth; research doe not support this. This latest study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers showed that cells kept at 37 degrees Celsius were more likely to undergo apoptosis (basically, cell suicide) than cells kept at 33 degrees Celsius; apoptosis is a way that we protect ourselves from infection. If the infected cells kill themselves, then there are fewer chances for replication of the viruses that infect them. Many people argue that this is more evidence that you’re more likely to get sick in cold weather; if your immune system can’t function as well when it’s…
