Medieval infographic detailing the Black Death plague spread.
Medieval authorities have produced a detailed public health campaign blaming invisible bubbles, bad weather, and insufficient prayer for a continent-wide catastrophe, and recommended bloodletting as a primary cure.

The tagline 'Be Bubble-Free' remains, against considerable odds, entirely sincere.
