Retiredbum notes: 

Now we understand that throughout history, sometimes we must tackle with plague because the fight has been part of the struggles human beings have to vie with other species to survive in the nature.  Attached below are two reportages that tell us how did human address the plague or pandemic in ancient China and Europe.  In addtion to medical treatment, those days our ancestors had one thing in common towards the plague: having recourse to religion and superstition.

Hoping you guys are patient enough to finish reading the articles, and good luck to you!
