The most popular theory of how the plague ended is through the implementation of quarantines. The uninfected would typically remain in their homes and only leave when it was necessary, while those who could afford to do so would leave the more densely populated areas and live in greater isolation.6 Jul 2020
The Great Plague killed an estimated 100,000 people—almost a quarter of London's population—in 18 months. The plague was caused by the Yersinia pestis bacterium, which is usually transmitted through the bite of an infected rat flea.
Your facts are way off. the population of the world was only about 490 mil. at that time
“It’s not a word I’ve heard in a long, long time,” an elderly Paris resident said, leaving her apartment in mask and gloves for an early expedition to the shops. “A curfew. That’s for wartime, isn’t it? But in a way I suppose that’s what this is.”
Europe’s second coronavirus wave took a dramatic turn for the worse this week, forcing governments across the continent to make tough choices as more than a dozen countries reported their highest ever number of new infections.
In France, 18 million people in nine big cities risk a fine from Saturday if they are not at home by 9pm. In the Czech Republic, schools have closed and medical students are being enlisted to help doctors. All Dutch bars and restaurants are shut.
Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Poland are among countries to have broken daily case records, prompting the World Health Organization to call for an “uncompromising” effort to stem the spread.
Unfortunately, that requires making all but impossible compromises.
Most European governments relaxed strict lockdowns over the summer to revive economies shattered by the pandemic’s first wave. The return of normal activity, from packed bars to new academic terms, has fuelled an exponential increase in infections.
With infections across the continent breaking the barrier of 120,000 a day, authorities must now tighten restrictions once more to slow the spread of the disease – while doing all they can to avoid destroying already-jeopardized jobs and livelihoods.

Oh yeh, just a scam, not. Take all precautions you can.
Your type of thinking is going to kill people, it is insane to think the measures taken are anything but an attempt to contain the virus. I don't believe you don't take any precautions against catching this disease.
I don't think there should be any upper limit, but medical checks. I retired, against my will but carried on from home writing programs for twice the money, go figure.
I was surprised when you called me stupid, but that Grik boy has never forgiven me for getting the girl 6 years ago, he fancied her, she fancied me, that's life, but he carries it with him.
Yes , being apart from your loved one is no fun. I enjoy food anyway, my cleaner comes one day a week she's so bossy and nags me for my own good my friends wonder why i put up with it, but she is good at her job and good cleaners are as rare as hen teeth.
I try to get out for excercise everyday hope things work out for you,
Lucky you, my son is in Spain with his wife and three of my grandsons,,I asked him if he was living on the Costa del Crime, ay least they are all still ok, your description or your meal made me hungry again, it's fish and chips for lunchwith salt and vinegar and tomato sauce.
