Just got finished reading “The Plague” by Albert Camus - worth a read if you’re so inclined.
I also recommend “A Distant Mirror” by Barbara Tuchman.
You might also read Tales from the Decameron written in 1351. It is the story of 10 “elites” of the day practicing social distancing by isolating themselves in a villa during the 1348 plague in Italy.
They pass the time telling each other short stories about life , love, and the plague. I believe it is the only work of art about the Black Death that was written contemporaneously. I was a voracious reader at 10-12 and somehow came across it in a libaray.
