The English town that stopped the plague | BBC Global 

omg! i went with my school ages ago, you see that tailors house?

Around 430 survived from a population of about 800. Some of them were ancestors of mine.

Just you that

BBC does this with Dr Who, too.

Playing this on my iPad, the music is playing very softly in the background, in no way interfering with the narration. This sound very much like a you problem, or more accurately a your device problem.

poorly mixed audio, that's the problem. The speaking is too bassy and muffled.

Music is not loud and actually quiet enjoyable! 🤨

I'm sorry for your loss. 🙏🏻

And it didn't work.

@@Trebor74 did you not watch till the end?

Than

No. Plague is actually dangerous but not as much as this makes it seem. Covid only affects mentally ill people

Definitely smarter than some people.

@@margaretr5701 you’re over due for your annual booster smart guy

COVID 19 was not the same as an outbreak of bubonic plague in the 1660s, for fucks sake. Some people may've acted like it was. But it wasn't.

It does though

I am reading them now

It has them on mine.

@legitbeans9078 there is only automatic subtitles. Not madmade. It has a lot of typos

Subtitles are working tip top here bro

When plague broke out anywhere in those times it was usually the first selfish instinct of those with means to leave and travel to somewhere without plague to save themselves. Of course at least a few of those people would already be carrying the plague with them and spread it further, but others would genuinely escape and save their own lives. It was a better selfish choice for individuals to flee to somewhere potentially safe than to stay somewhere they knew to be deadly, even though it inevitably spreading the disease further and caused untold further deaths. there’s no doubt that some of the folks in that village died who would have lived if they’d run. But soo many others in neighbouring villages lived who otherwise would have died. Giving up your own chance at safety to keep others safe is the definition of selflessness

​@@WhichDoctor1 Yup.

The cloth was riddled with fleas infected from rats that carried the plague. If you listened to the story.

clearly never been to Eyam, the Peak District.. or i'm guessing, England.

15 minute cities aren't a conspiracy, it's just fairly logical. jog on richard

😂 I bought a mango wood bed once, came from India. Unpacking it, l found some scruffy feathers, immediately though, that's how the zombie apocalypse could start!! 😱😂

Retard

Dude they stopped it spreading to other villages nearby. It was already inside. They stopped infected people fleeing at night all over like was normal and so protected all the other villages around them to a degree

​@@Aztesticals it's still misleading. They probably could've said 'slowed it down' but that's not as clickbaity.

They stopped the plague because at that time there was no outbreak in Derbyshire, which is a long way from London (or was then)

Yeah I get that. Ford had it; I was pointing out the misleading nature of the title.

Fyi, Year of Wonders (2001) by Geraldine Brooks is a good historical novel based on the story of the town.

Yeah epidemics happen, you can't just claim god done all the work because something happened. I could claim I've done them all, because, well, they happened.

Surely you mean 'we'? And there's no need to beg, if one is baptised into Christ, sin becomes impossible, slips forgiven through his blood.

Don't be a superstitious c***.
