This was my first effort at filming on location (except for a project you'll see in a few weeks) and I want to know what you think! Should I go out into the field more often?
You absolutely should, this came out beautifully.
On another note let's not pretend racism
Is something from the past. "China virus " ring any bells?
Dude your animation skills are cute chef’s kiss! Great work. Loved the on location shots too. Also enjoyed how you presented the information as well 👏👏👏
@@joelb8653 Ohh dude; there were so many parallels to the modern pandemic throughout this story. The “plague fake” language was especially salient
@@stephcastle26 I appreciate that 🥰
In critters the word is neocropsy not autopsy. Plague is actually endemic to the Desert Southwest where it hides in Kangaroo rats. This includes Southern California and Arizona in that area where plague is always present to a small extent.
Huh, good to know, thank you
I thought is was ground squirrels that were the plague carriers. Anyway this is one of the many reasons I keep my cats in doors and teach my child to keep her distance from wildlife.
The plague was still brought to the Southwest via the methods explained in the video! It's definitely not just kangaroo rats either. Ground squirrels, like another commenter said, are more common carriers. Rabbits, marmots and mice are also known carriers since at least 2000. The ground squirrel display at the Phoenix Zoo actually mentions about plague if I recall correctly!
@@PatKellyTeachesAlso, dissection specifically refers to taking apart a body (animal or human I believe) for anatomical study, whereas autopsy/necropsy is for when you are trying to figure out what killed it. You probably already knew that, just wanted to mention it for everyone because it's good to know
Now that I've binge watched most of your videos in the last few days, I must say - great work! I can't believe your channel hasn't taken off, although it seems to be trending the right direction quickly now!
I've suggested it to a few groups. This level of production will eventually succeed.
Agreed! This channel deserves more love and the delivery and editing is impeccable.
Would have loved to have watched this back when accounts of epidemics were an interesting look into history and not an infuriating indictment on how little we seem to learn from it, but still, excellent video!
They had multiple buboes! So the ordinary Yersinia pestis really IS the cause of the Black Death. Usually in modern times there is only one bubo. So, some people hypothesize that the medieval Black Death was a different disease or at least a different strain. I assume there were a LOT of fleas. Remember, in those days human fleas were common. A different species from canine fleas, feline flees. But probably they had oriental rat fleas too.
The primary vector of Plague and Murine Typhus is Xenopsylla cheopis, the oriental rat flea. No doubt a lot of them arrived on ships then. And I'd guess that in cities now, rats just pick up the occasional dog flea. I have captured and kept numerous wild rats and mice of different species, and gophers. Though they often have mites, I have yet to find a flea on any of them. That is, no doubt, why modern cities don't get the Plague. It does show up occasionally in wilderness areas.
As with so many others, I stumbled across your videos just a few days ago and have been blown away. Liking and commenting to do what I can to help get your numbers up. You deserve it!
Ask a Mortician also has a great video on this. Never knew about it until recently, thanks to her video and now I've seen this subject pop up a few times. Thanks for the great video!
Love your channel so much. Nothing I enjoy more than in-depth medical stories. Please continue to make more!
the vibes are impeccable with this video
Got that bioZone blessing 🙌
I've seen several comments saying they've binged your content. I am now in this club as well. I'm captivated by medical history, and your videos are so well-produced it's a pleasure to learn.
Hell yeah, welcome to the team.
@@PatKellyTeaches I'm definitely going to binge, too, but I noticed something in the introduction - the dark marks on the body aren't buboes, that's the swelling of the lymphatic nodes. The black marks are symptoms of septicemic plague when the infection enters the bloodstream.
So interesting!! I like that you incorporated the outdoors with historical images! Your channels are good mines👍👍👍
*Gold Mines
your channel is amazing! I’ve literally binged all of your videos in like two days.
lol the swimmer behind you at @7:15
Why People Swim is a book that discusses swimming in the Bay.
Excellent video, great story and such good production. Nice work, Patrick!
I recently came across your videos, the first I watched was on smoking and cancer link. I have to say your presentation is excellent, with good pace, clear and concise narrative, and interesting storylines.
0:42 gee I wonder why that sounds familiar, good video keep em coming 👍
I have watched many episodes of Patrick Kelly. They are must for all pre-meds.
bro your videos are so fucking high quality, i love you so much
you're so underrated like you should have atleast a million subs
high quality
informative
very original
just fun to watch for both learning something and for fun
i will try to share your videos to as many people please keep up the great stuff!!
That's the nicest comment I've gotten all day, thanks dude. I always appreciate the shares!
@@PatKellyTeaches ayy man never knew you would reply! whatever gets your channel storming with subs because you do deserve it king
wtf... how come only 25k subs? please keep it up and upload more! much love, man.
Very informative, as always. When you continue to make videos this good, it's just a matter of time before you've got the subscriber count to match!
Nevah
HAPPENED
Wow I can't believe you only have 59K subscribers! This is an excellent channel, thank you very much, super informative. Cheers! :)
Man, Dont give up. Your videos are so amazing you will eventually get the recognition you’ll need.
absolutely love this channel!
Whoa, I was pretty sure your channel was in the millions club so color me surprised when you aren't (yet). I've already watched 2 vids so far and the binge will likely continue. Awesome work!!!
Buboes is such a silly sounding word for something so horrifying…
Somehow it is a dark relief to know that it's not only in the 21st century where politics screws up public health response. Gives me hope that it's not getting worse.
"It's not getting worse, we've always been this bad!" 😂
@@mangos2888 well, a horizontal baseline of shitfuckery is better than a diagonal downwards conga line of horror
I really like these videos. I find the politics and media players just as interesting. Thank you.
Love this stuff. Super interesting.
That's awesome, I appreciate all the kind words the last few days!
Wow. History doesn't repeat itself, but it sure as hell rhymes.
These are great, I think a lot of microbio/bio students can benefit from your videos
Brother, I am so excited to be one of your early subscribers. You deserve to have a few million subscribers. I will be sharing and encouraging others to share. Getting those numbers up means getting important education to an increasingly uneducated public. This info is vital!
Thank you so much 😀 Plenty more videos coming soon
No tik tok please
@@sailormoon2937 yeah, I’m 41, I’m not using my free time to upload TikTok’s of other people’s content. 😉
@@imdoneplus yep, we too old, ya know?
What a fascinating story! Were there any cases over here in Berkeley?
Oooh, good question. It's been a while since I did the story, but I know Oakland got a bunch of cases after the earthquake, so I imagine Berkeley had some too.
Wait why did the two bodies have life preservers on? They had been thrown overboard alive?
For one of my Critical Race and Ethnic Studies classes I made a cartoon of Chinatown. Essentially was a walled in town all crammed dirty inside and clean and spacious outside with people looking in calling them gross and dirty
Location shooting gives a good perspective on the historical events, maybe add some drone shots for a bit more drama and scale? That scene at Angel Island could’ve used a wider view.
you're lucky dude, i wanna stand in front of that red bridge sooo bad...
It's a gorgeous view with lots of other pretty stuff around it (Chrissy Field, Fort Mason, the Presidio). Make it happen!
Henry Gage looks like John Bolton
Yellow flag no longer means “disease onboard” but does still mean quarantine. You raise the yellow flag when you come into port until local authorities clear you for entry.
Fascinating history! I miss the Bay Area.
Well thank god we learned our lesson from all this. We'll never be racist toward Chinese Americans because of a pandemic again, or ignore a health crisis for political reasons, or lift public health measures early while people are still dying because Muh Economy. Whew. I'd hate to live in that world.
Shew lord. Imagine if we knew how to learn from history 🙃🙃🙃
Also, i know someone who diagnosed bubonic plague in an american hospital a few years ago. Its absolutely still a thing in America today, particularly the south west. We just have the ability to treat it now when it does pop up.
Philippines mentioned 😲😲😲
As a scihigh scholar hearing that we did something useful way back when is really nice 👍. It's tragic hearing all the types of fucked up shit that has to do with medicine and US ethnic minorities. We should all be thankful for those railroad Immigrants, they invented chop suey.
Don’t think plague couldn’t reappear in the US. Cities full of illegal immigrants in crowded shelters and people in homeless encampments are great bait for many diseases including plague. We do have a small number of plague cases in the US every year, usually from rodent contact in the desert west. If diagnosed promptly, it’s curable with antibiotics.
Cute and a great presenter 🥰
Chinese-Americans didn’t come to San Francisco - Chinese immigrants, the forefathers of many of today’s Chinese-Americans, came to San Francisco. It’s an important point that provides a more complete view of the distrust of the Chinese at that time.
Your content is great, but viewership seems too low. Are you seeing any benefits to having two channels?
The viewership on this channel is constantly growing with each new video, and search traffic is starting to pick up. So far, the benefit is in having two distinct audience that I know how to communicate to. Corporis tends to be young students, this channel is slightly older (25-35) non-students
What is the story behind the racist cartoon ~2:03
It was also racial profiling
In Chinese people call this city ‘三藩’
Which translated to “three…” what? I only started learning Chinese 😢
@@EthanPlagueTheOneAndOnlyit’s just a transliteration of ‘San Fran’
@@billchan13 oh, okay thanks 😄
Thing is, trust is earned. There should _not_ have been trust in public health officials, because they proved again and again to be both evil and incompetent.
Body lice
I am definitely not laughing at "[sex workers] with those classic bubos"
Apologies - I wrote the script before I knew about the overall transitioning out of that other term
@@PatKellyTeaches oh no worries. I'm just here to make a joke about boobs lol
Ohh! How delightful! Yes, giggle away
I like the part about limiting travel and trade to and from California.
3:49 Nipon is pronounced "nee-pon" and means Japan in Japanese
Yersin was Russian not French. He isolated Yersinia Pestis during the plague outbreak in Hong Kong in the 1890’s in poorly equipped tiny laboratory whilst a well funded celebrity Japanese microbiologist took the initial glory for the discovery. Read “The Plague Race” can’t remember the author?
Hmm, the surname certainly sounds Russian, but I've got him as French-Swiss in these sources: www.britannica.com/biography/Alexandre-Yersin www.pasteur.fr/en/research-journal/news/alexandre-yersin-man-who-discovered-bacterium-responsible-plague pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18653838/
same thing now, just 120 years later
And San Francisco has never been that clean since...
The stigma with Chinese people and illness was due to cultural differences. There were many practices that were commonplace in the United States to establish a better hygiene, these were not practiced by many of the people who immigrated. So much is misinterpreted these days😮
Bubonic plague, makes COVID-19. A mother’s kiss just sayin .
You left out how many Deadheads flowed into the City during the 1860s!!!!!!! And yes, go hike the headlands and keep the GGB for the background!!
Is it racism ? I mean would the same not have happened in any other tenement neighbourhood. Immigrants self segregate i doubt officials would shy away from mistreating and stigmatising any other group
Can San Fransisco restart that cleanup campaign thing again? Not for the plague tho.
Nothing like a lecture on racism while discussing the plague. I would also like to hear about the discrimination against non binary people at the time
It should have stayed there and cleaned the place up
