The plague moves on. The outbreak has shattered communities. Families havebeen set against each other- the well rejecting the sick. A sense of panic pervades Europe and everyone, it appears, is struggling only for his own survival. Some depraved creatures, them selves already infected, break into houses and threaten to contaminate all within unless bribed to leave.
Agriculture is at a standstill.
Doctors do what they can, but the plague seems irresistible. Even the most expert physicians can do little more than help strengthen people's resolve and build morale. The very rich are trying medicines made of gold and pearls. The terrible truth is that nothing seems to work. Flight is the best option, and if one cannot fly, then all that remains is resignation and prayer.
