The Black Death started with the shipment of food from different areas. Rats lived inside the ships and they carried many diseases that were deadly. The food was infected by the rats and the bacteria was very harmful. The people were in grave danger if they came into contact with the Black Death. The Bubonic Plague spread like wildfire across Europe killing mass amounts of people and lowing the populations down to small numbers. At the time there was no cure for a sickness like this, only moldy bread would have helped your body fight off the plague. The doctors only had one prescription for a victim of the plague: wait for death to come for you.
I have worked endless hours only to tell the people one thing: death is coming. The look on their faces are horrid. The victim's skin is covered in welts. They bleed from the nose and do not have any strength to move out of bed. If there was a cure then there would be no disease. Only time will tell.
If the Black Death carried out today then the hospitals would be overrun with sick patients. There would be a vaccine against the plague and a cure for it. The rats would have been caught and tested for all the disease they carried. People would have to be very cautious with handling food and sanitation.
Nice clear explanations.
