Great Plague

基本解释

The Great Plague of Marseilles killed 100, 000 people in 1720

The most scary thing of a great plague is not being infected and die suddenly but watching your own kind dying and just leave them in quarantine for self-preservation.
大瘟疫最恐怖之処竝不在於被感染竝很快死掉，而是眼睜睜地看著同類慢慢步入死亡，而爲求自保卻把他們遺忘在隔離區自生自滅。
