Because the disease was so easily spread. Fleas would have given the disease to rats, and since people in the Middle Ages lived quite unhealthy lives, there was alot of rubbish and sewage around, which attracted the rats. And some rats would have bitten humans, which would have given humans the Black Death, and then since coughing was one of the symptoms of the Black Death, the disease would have spread rapidly and wiped out whole villages at once.
