Why do you think the bubonic plague was called ‘Black Death’?
The bubonic plague was called the ‘Black Death’ primarily because of the black boils that appeared on the bodies of infected persons. These boils were one of the standout symptoms and would turn black as they filled with blood. The severe mortality rate and the dread it caused across Europe further contributed to this ominous name, reflecting the devastating impact of the disease. The deep coloration was not only literal but also metaphorically represented the dark times brought upon by the plague.
From your knowledge of the coronavirus pandemic, answer how the Black Death may have spread so quickly from person to person.
