Have you ever heard of the most dangerous virus, in the Middle Ages? If you have no clue, that dangerous plague is called the Black Plague. The Black Plague killed millions in Europe. In my history book, it stated that two thirds of Europe's population was killed. This was also a great deal to feudalism  It paid surfs and peasants a lot more that in normally did, because a lot of peasants died. Without those peasants and surfs. who would farm and harvest? Another thing that would happen if people would know you were sick, you had to stay inside and never come out  because they did not want you to spread it to other people. If you did manage to escape, officers would let you be, because they did not want to touch you either. 

Most of the Black Plague symptoms are vomiting blood, a very high fever, and you always feel tired. There was many other symptoms, but those are just a few. If you had some of these symptoms you had to options to look at: you either have a normal fever or you had the Black Death. It was tough to know if one of your family members had the plague, because that would mean that you might not see them again. The Black Plague was a really bad virus; I am glad that I did not live in the Middle Ages!
