I believe Krakatoa had a hand as well as the plague of Justinian

You can get it from prolonged kissing, oral and vaginal contact as well. Also from touching a monkeypox rash.
It's easily handled because most people are symptomatic and easily spotted. The sudden spread/worry was from the few who were asymptomatic and people not knowing what it was

Reply to Eli5 Saw a post on TwoSentenceSadness “The little girl giggled as she hugged the stranger, particularly interested in that strange armband he wore: red, with a white circle and a strange black cross in the middle. He hugged her back, until he saw the yellow star on her chest” what’s it mean? by [deleted]
Nazi officers and politicians wore the red armband with white circle and a backwards swastika cross. Jews were required to identify themselves with the Star of David on their clothing.
I think the sentences would have been more sad if they werent strangers.
