And besides that, it reminded me of ancient epidemics that were previously completely misunderstood because the science hadn't been there before, epidemics of plague or typhus or leprosy, where the prevalent ideas were that there were bad people or bad humors or bad air, and widows were dragged around the moat, and dungeons were part of the solution.
Y además de eso, me recordó epidemias antiguas que antiguamente fueron totalmente incomprendidas porque la ciencia no había estado allí antes, epidemias de la peste o el tifus o la lepra, donde las ideas predominantes eran que había malas personas o malos humores o mal aire, y las viudas eran arrastradas al foso, y las mazmorras eran parte de la solución.
