This one spreads through the air, unlike Ebola so if it were to spread like it did back then in our overpopulated society I'm pretty sure most of the human race would be decimated.
The Y Pestis virus is characterized because of the gangrene it causes, turning toes, fingers, lips and tip of the nose black, hence the name Black Death.
