Source Analysis: The Plague during the Restoration
Source A: Eyewitness Account of the Plague in London
"The streets were filled with the sick and dying, and the air was thick with the smell of decay. Many families lost all their members, and the town was gripped with fear. The authorities ordered quarantine measures, but the disease spread rapidly. People believed it was God's punishment, and some resorted to extreme measures to protect themselves, including prayer and abandoning the sick. The streets were deserted, and the death toll rose day by day. It was a time of great suffering and uncertainty for all." Provenance: John Baker, 1665, eyewitness report written for a local town council report.
