Since it was not commonly known that bubonic plague was carried by the rat flea, it was generally assumed to be a supernatural affliction.

If you are talking about the Black Death plague then people did nothing. They thought it was a punishment from God and they couldn't do anything to stop it. They didn't know that rats with infected fleas were spreading it. There were lots of rats, because in the Dark Ages, there were no toilets so people dumped their garbage in the streets. People also went months without changing clothes. It was dirty and that made it easier for people to get sick from the plague.
Some people carried herbs to ward off the plague, some people stopped bathing because they thought it was spread by the air, some just ran away, and some just blamed the Jews so they killed them; they even took hostages and forced people to lie and take the blame for spreading it
The black plague was transmitted through the bites of infected fleas. Cities were populated by rats, who were carrying the fleas. Such fleas would bite an infected person before biting another person, thus transmitting the disease.

Then, of course, sick people fell down.
