Rats weren't always around people the way people were with people. And in two or so years say even ten thousand rats wouldn't be able to kill 200 million people or wipe out 60% of Europe's population.
But, say one person got it from a rat because they got bitten (this doesn't happen often only if you scare the rat so it would still be your fault) then without knowing it they got very sick. At the same time they continued with their everyday life. This would include seeing many people and talking to many people. Then the next day they have the plague too. They go on with their everyday life talking and touching things that people might eat or even just touch then rub their face. Next thing you know almost everyone has the plague. That story makes a lot more sense then this (which is sort of what people are saying what happened):
thousands of rats one day went crazy and started bitting people everywhere they went and they all had the plague and that is how they gave the plague to people.That's what caused all of these people to start dying. Those blood sucking nasty animals. But two years later all of a sudden those rats stopped biting people and instead they were just animals that living in trash cans and sewers.. Sorry but no, that's not at all what happened. People are the one who caused the black death to spread so wildly. I'm not saying that the rats or fleas didn't cause the first person or even the first few people to catch the plague, but they certainly did not kill even close to all of those people.
Thank you very much. Oh and by they way I going to got hold my rat; maybe he has the plague and will start the cycle all over again...:D
Thanks every one,
Coco
