Red Death = bubonic plague that killed 25 million people in Europe (more than ¼ of the population) in the mid-14th century
Symptoms included high fever, vomiting, pain, and swellings that oozed blood, and victims were dead within 5 days; sometimes it happened as fast as 30 minutes
IMAGINE your town has been overtaken by an incurable disease. It spreads rapidly, but has not yet reached your neighborhood. How do you think you, the other members of your family and your neighbors would react? What are some actions people would take in order to protect themselves and help other people?
