During the Great Plague of 1665 in London, which killed approximately 100,000 people (a quarter of the population), authorities implemented measures based on incorrect theories: they killed cats believing animals spread the plague, but this actually increased the rat population that carried the disease; doctors wore bird-like masks stuffed with herbs based on the miasma theory that bad air caused illness; and infected families were locked in their homes with red crosses on doors, leading to high mortality rates within households.

I time traveled to London Plague 1665 đ·#shortsAjoutĂ© :
London, 1665.
Three things [music] the plague survivors never told you. The mayor ordered every cat and dog in [music] London killed. They think the animals spread the plague. But look, the rats.
[music] The cats were keeping them down.
Now the rats are free. Number two. This is a plague doctor. [music] The beak on his mask is stuffed with herbs. They think the plague is carried in bad air.
>> [music] >> They have no idea it's the rats. Number three. If anyone inside gets sick, the whole family is locked in. A red cross goes on the door. A guard [music] makes sure nobody escapes. They die together.
Which one shocked you the most?
Tell me in the comments.
