How did black death affect people?

Answer 1

Mostly, if they caught it, they died.

Others were displaced, moving to areas they hoped were free of the plague.

Many were ostracised for displaying symptoms which might be construed as plague, and died of exposure and starvation.

Children were abandoned when their parents died of the disease and left to die themselves, since few good but frightened citizens would take them in.

Hygiene practices were largely unknown, and those who endeavoured to treat the sick, or to explain that washing was good and the privy should be sited well away from the well risked, if they were wise old women, to be suspected of being witches.
