The Plague
Another pandemic that the world went through in the past was the Black Death, also known as The Plague. Black death began in Europe and then spread to Asia a few years later. This website mentions that recent research suggests that it started in Europe and began to spread because of the trading of boats that happened between the far and near East. It is explained that the symptoms of the black death started with strange swellings that had pus and blood coming out, and after this fever, chills, vomiting, diarrhea, terrible aches followed then at the end death. The Plague never left it returned 800 years later. There were 200 million lives lost." many people believed that the Black Death was a kind of divine punishment—retribution for sins against God such as greed, blasphemy, heresy, fornication, and worldliness." "port city of Ragusa was able to slow its spread by keeping arriving sailors in isolation until it was clear they were not carrying the disease—creating social distancing that relied on isolation to slow the spread of the disease."
