re: #109 Hecuba’s daughter

The book Biology of Plagues explores a fringe theory — and I don’t know if there is real evidence to support it — that it wasn’t the bubonic plague but instead some unknown Ebola-type virus.

Given that there were outbreaks and epidemics of plague in Europe for the next 500 years, while no trace of the “ebola virus” survives there, I don’t think I’d spend much time on it.
