Actually, Bubonic Plague still occurs (although rarely) in many rural areas of the American Southwest, where it is carried by fleas on packrats, field mice, and prairie dogs. It is completely curable if treated early by antibiotics.

How did people avoid catching the black plague?

The Black Death was an outbreak of plague that killed a third to half the people in Europe during the period of 1347 to 1352. At the time there was very little anyone could do to avoid it. I have read that some walled towns in England brought in food, raised their drawbridges, and waited until it passed, with some success, but I cannot provide a reference for this. Today, the bubonic plague can be treated with modern medicine.
