China suffered horrendously from the 1328 outbreak with their population dropping from 125 million to 90 million during just the middle half of 14th century. As a matter of fact, the rats that carried the plague came in ships from China and spread the plague all over Europe. Also, The disease initially followed Caravan routes and then, with aid of European Shipping and the accompanying rats, by 1346 arrived in the Crimea.

People in the medieval days killed cats because they thought they were evil so nothing could really kill these rats that were transporting fleas that were carrying this disease
