In history there were three major outbreaks of the Bubonic Plague. The first one was the Plague of Justine (542-543). It killed 70,000 in Constantinople. At the peak of this outbreak, it killed 10,000 people a week.

Then for 52 years, small outbreaks appeared here and there. The second most devastating outbreak happened in Europe (1346-1360), killing one-third of it's population. Twenty five million people died in those four years.

Third was the Great Plague of London (1665). It's death count went up to 17,440 out of a population of 93,000.

A fire ended that outbreak.

Then there was a small outbreak in Manchuria. That outbreak traveled to San Francisco in 1900.

At the end of these four outbreaks the death toll was 12,597,789
