4) The short term consequences of the Bubonic Plague were the very painful and deadly symptoms appearing quickly. The long term syptoms were usually death. The economy also plumeted because with more people getting sick, there were less workers and less people wanted to be in contact with others in the fear of getting sick. So with trade and less workers, not a lot of money was earned then.
3) People's reactions to this outbreak were to flee Europe and try to get away from the plague since there was no cure or medicine. However, this caused the disease to spread to other countries and infect more people. The infection was mainly spread from rats and other small animals that were transported by ships across the sea. Once the animals came in close contact with someone who was not infected, they would have a good chance of being part of the Black Death.

2) The conditions for victims were very brutal. Some signs of infection were large blisters that oozed pus and bled. Headaches, sore joints, and vomiting were very common symptoms. Their conditions were so brutal that most people died within 4-7 days. It was the deadliest infectious diseases in human history with a total of 75 million people dying (about 50 million of those people were in Europe).
