The bubonic plague or the pneumonic plague... no I don't have either one, but I've been sick, just a little cold.
The black death killed one third of the human population on China, Asia, India, Europe and Northern Africa in sixteen years from 1334 to 1350.
The Black Death was both of those plagues hitting at the same time. The bubonic plague causes swollen black lymph nodes and kills its victims in about 5 days, it was carried by rats and fleas. The pneumonic plague was also spread by rats and fleas with humans being able to transmit it as well, in the same way as the common cold, it killed its victims even faster within 3 days or as little as 24 hours.
Anyway, I'm better now, thanks for asking...
