For one thing its a bacterial infection not a viral one, so antibiotics work.

We are already there. More people are cremated than buried today.

Well the black death was just a cold.

I was thinking that scene in Last Man on Earth (Vincent price) and he was dumping bodies to burn in this crevice.

Years ago I read a book THE PLAGUE AND THE FIRE about the devastation in 1665-1666 England. After a year of the plague, the fire of London started. While the plague was waning, there were still a large number of plague deaths when the fire began.

Thank you for posting that.
It’s jarring to read of England’s population of 5 million being cut in half by the plague.
There is some heroism, too, in their efforts to battle the unknown.

We learned to wash our hands .....? And we learned that the fleas on the rats were spreading the disease. Kill the rats, fumigate the fleas and voila', the major vectors for the Black Death are blocked.

I think you’re onto something.
Tell the unwashed masses that the masks don’t work.
Then you can save them for the healthcare workers who wouldn’t be able to get them if panic buying is happening.
