The Black Death came from the sea brought by infected sailors coming to England from the areas of Central Asia or Egypt. But it wasn’t just the sailors that infected the Europeans. Rats from the ships scurried out into the streets, infected other rats and animals which eventually infected humans. Within days the unknown disease caused many people to become ill. Physicians had never seen anything like this before so no one knew what to do about it. Only a few nobles died from the plague but almost every commoner lost someone they were close to or even died them. Many lives were lost because of this.
The disease attacked and killed innocent people and there was nothing anyone could do about it but hope and pray that they would survive.The disease attacked the young and the strong in particular. Actually, some towns were completely wiped out from the plague. This caused panic among the community and made people want to flee the area. The Black Death was one of the major events that occured in medieval Europe and people still are learning more about it every day.

That would be very hard to stop becausse they were spreading it without knowing they had it. Why did very few nobles die. Great post.
