Tudor Times - The Plague The
Daily Quack Price 1d The Plague Still Lives On, The Plague claims yet more lives as it enters its 3rd Week. As we enter the height of the hot weather, the plague is starting to spread and kill even quicker than it was; it is now killing over 2000 people a week. The driver of the burial cart for Glamorgan, Mr. Thomas Jones Said this 'I have never seen the cart so full. I can only hope that I and none of my family get this dreadful illness.' Doctors now believe that when visiting patients infected with the illness, they can prevent themselves catching the illness by wearing masks filled with herbs. We have not been told how this stops the doctors getting the disease. This huge disease is proving a big problem for the church as well. Salisbury Cathedral is booked for funerals until October; a church in Lancashire has no more space left for burials so they have had to buy extra land and in North Wales a church is having to lay the bodies on the pews. Arch bishop George Cluny said ' I have never seen a waiting list so long for a funeral; as for having to put dead bodies on pews. Were in Crisis.' Reporter Harriet.
