There are some researcher who believe it was a different strain of plague that spread through human-to-human transmission, because rodent-to-human transmission couldn't explain how fast it spread across Europe. It spread across Europe at a rate of 8 miles per day in the 14th century.
I remember watching a show where it said the people could see the plague coming toward them across fields. I'm pretty sure that was on ancient aliens, but could still have some truth to it.
Shoulda rubbed some more fecal matter on themselves like the "health experts" of the time told them to.
Also, didn't the black plague occur around the same time when everyone would just through their shit bucket out their window into the streets? I'm sure that didn't help slow the spread. Too bad they didn't isolate for "2 weeks to slow the spread." I'm sure that would've helped!
Shadiversity covered that on a video, apparently medieval times had better sanitation than we're led to believe and the buckets out the window thing is based an a specific documented occurrence taken as "sure bro, happened all the time."
I've been binging his videos lately and a recent one had him ripping SciShow for claiming that Damascus steel was a lost recipe when in fact medieval blacksmiths did manufacture it.
