DECEMBER, 2012

December 3 — Jupiter oppositions.

December 21 — The Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, notably used by the Maya civilization among others of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, completes its thirteenth b'ak'tun cycle since the calendar's mythical starting point (equivalent to 3114 BC August 11 in the proleptic Gregorian calendar, according to the "GMT-correlation" JDN= 584283).[7] The Long Count b'ak'tun date of this starting point (13.0.0.0.0) is repeated, for the first time in a span of approximately 5,125 solar years. The significance of this period-ending to the pre-Columbian Maya themselves is unclear, and there is an incomplete inscription (Tortuguero Stela 6) that records this date. It is also to be found carved on the walls of the Temple of Inscriptions in Palenque, where it functions as a base date from which other dates are computed.[8] However, it is conjectured that this may represent in the Maya belief system a transition from the current Creation world into the next. The December solstice for 2012 also occurs on this day.

yeah but theres a 50% fatality rate if you get it and pneumonia developes

so? ebola has a mortality rate of 80-90%, kills two, three times as fast, is harder to diagnose within the incubation period and is significantly more infectious

the plague wiped out only a third of europe (which is admittedly a lot of people, but not everyone died)

i hardly see whats to worry about here

don't you think it'd be easier to spot somebody with a potentially deadly disease if theyre throwing up black guts than one thats coughing on you with pneumonia

okay whatever but the point is

plague's been around before and after the whole europe thing

its not like, "back" all of a sudden and we're completely unprepared

and by the time theyre throwing up black guts its already too late, the primary symptoms are almost identical to bubonic plague
