Any protocols?

They just run.

Sure, so bad smelling air they believed had naturally occurring disease, right?

Yeah, it's an iconic image.

It's the thing that everyone thinks of as the famous plague, Dr. Mask.

But yeah, England, it's a slight bit of a misnomer in England, isn't it?

It's very rare.

So social distancing, obviously the Italians have quarantine, which is where we get the word from, which is where you have 40 days of isolation.

And we get some pretty wild cures.

There's a guy called George Thompson.

And it's definitely a weird ending to Wind in the Willows, isn't it?

Where Toad just gets sort of stared at and dies and then is powdered.

So we've got amphibian-based plague cures where you get a furious Toad that dies of sheer rage and then you powder it.

Dissolve snakes and emeralds on gemstones.

Fabulous.

That's George Thompson.

We do have scientific progress.

You talked about anatomy, which is where someone is opening up the body to look for evidence of disease.

We do have a very famous anatomist, William Harvey, who does some proper science.

So he ties off their arms.
