ever hear of the saying "avoiding it like the plague"? they feared it, the avoided it, they lashed out towards it. people infected were bad off cause of the disease, but the people ostracized the sick for their own protection, killing burning, rioting, it was a damned mess. check out YouTube i'm sure there's a history channel documentary on their.
