DeCimarron is a book about the black plague that ended in 1350. Those who believed that the plague was spread by person to person contact fled to the countryside and survived. Those who did not believe that the disease was spread by person to person contact stayed in the cities and towns. They drank in bars, They gathered in big groups, They died in massive numbers. 670 years later we are making the same mistakes by disavowing marks and social distancing. There are words from a Peter, Paul, and Mary song from the 1960's that apply here:as follows:
"When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?"
