The Next Turn
*Timeline*
"I don’t know of any data about the Asia numbers at all please give me some source on this."
The 14th century plague is estimated to have killed 30% of the population of China.

China's population suffered greatly, often yielding an estimate of twenty-five million deaths during the 14th century.

I think we agree on this part, I know its very subjective. I just was a ball park figure for the timeline and location. Yes the 1300s was when China was infected the most, with no signicant out breaks after the 14 century.

Europe was affeced the most in the 1300s but had many large reoccurances all the way up to the 18th century.

*The Spread*
"It is also possible to catch the Bubonic Plague from direct contact with infectious bodily fluids or inhalation of the infectious air droplets. It was personally contagious and airborne."
I agree. One form of the disaese was airborne but the spread due to flea bites was the most common way poeple became infected.

*Morality Rate*
The bubonic plague was the most commonly seen form during the Black Death, with a mortality rate of seventy-five percent.
Suffering in Paradise: The Bubonic Plague in English Literature from More to Milton, (Pittsburgh: Duquense University Press: 2005), p. 26.
I found this stat as well, so I can agree upon a rate of 75%.
We ready to rock now... or do you have some concerns about figures?
Ok, I let's get on with this please tell me how you could possibly think religion make the black plague worse.
