1) The spread of the Black death caused panic in Europe. People started to believe that the world was slowly ending and everyone became very careful about everything.
2) it starts as a black ring around your hand and it starts to spread through your body it slowly eats away at your skin and your insides, and is very very dangerous. people walk around with posies in thier pockets, hence "pockets full of posies" in the childrens song, i try to cure it with worms stew but it doesnt seem to cure it. no one seems to find a cure. once you have it you become a lost cause. theres no solution
3) the black death has affected america before but not directly. many irish people moved here in search of a new home during the black death in england and the potato famine. i think that if it were to strike the people of america we would try using decontamination techniques and make a huge deal about it. we would lock people in decontamination rooms and try to keep others from becoming infected. it would probably for some people become an STD situation. something you keep to yourself and not tell anyone until its to late. soon half the country would be infected. fast food chains would be sued and shut down for "food contamination". half the marketing industry would be shut down. the food industry that is. it would be chaos.
Good call on the "pocket full of posies".
