The one fact that surprised me was that it is still about and breaks out from time to time in poorer Countries. These days it's not much of a problem because it can be treated.
They thought they'd found the Plague burials in Rome and they were buried in layers 12 deep. That was worth a watch as well. Don't I watch some odd programs ?? ::) (Have to record and watch when Hubby's gone bye byes) Val |
