In the time period described, people likely would not even realize what was happening, not mentally linking a touch, cough, or other minor incident a few months ago with their disease and demise now. This was a time in Europe before sanitation, when people still accepted having fleas, before they believed in anything even a proxy for germ theory. Infected people would run when the plague hit their town, thinking they escaped to safety, and spreading the plague fast. | |
