They should kill all the cats in the city. That will help. And burn some witches.

***They should kill all the cats in the city.***

The English killed off all the dogs and cats in 1665 to stop the Great Plague. They also lit bonfires to drive off the “bad air”.

It didn’t work. The plague began to wain, then the Great fire afterward cleansed the city of London.

Sure glad they don’t seal off whole cities every time someone in Colorado contracts Plague.
