You have to understand how dirty the cities and towns were at this time. People did not have any sort of indoor Plumbing and threw the contents of their "chamber pots" into the streets each morning. They had absolutely no idea of how diseases were spread nor did they have any treatments for them. What they had were just superstitions. Also many people were not immune to each round of the plague and the microbe passed rapidly until it "ran out" of victims. In many parts of the world as many as 50% died. Imagine all those bodies lying in the streets and no one to bury them.
Reason is very simple! People fled to the next towns to run away from the disease. Some of them were in incubation period and carried the disease to next towns. The same thing was repeated again and again in geometric proportion.
