The edit link isn't working, so I thought I'd say it here: the BLACK Death was the bubonic plague. It killed most of the population in the Middle Ages and was spread by rats. What this aricle is SUPPOSED to say is the BLUE Death, which was the flu.

The link to "Black Death" page is there because it's related to the Flu (both were pandemics).
