Great Plague

基本解释

The Great Plague of Marseilles killed 100, 000 people in 1720
马赛大瘟疫(死亡10万人)
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.
大瘟疫最恐怖之处并不在于被感染并很快死掉，而是眼睁睁地看着同类慢慢步入死亡，而为求自保却把他们遗忘在隔离区自生自灭。
