      Ravi, this is an intriguing account of Eyam village that quarantined themselves and practiced social distancing to put an end to the plague. Credit also goes to the persons who led the village by such thoughts in leadership modes. Thank you for such a splendid share.

      Thank you, Misbah, for sharing Ravi's work.

    This is a great account about those brave people and what they endured.
    But it is so sad...no one survived.

      Ravi....
      It was wonderful that they stopped the spread...but still so sad.  I wish one person could've survived & told of his struggle and fears.

      Great write though.
