Two Tidy Rows Shows It Was Early In the Plague

BBC News has a typically informative and relatively in-depth look at yet more grave finds in Britain, this time plague graves outside London.  One of the interesting things about this piece is the comments section (which is often the least interesting, and/or most frustrating accessory to online journalism), in which several posters comment on the virulence of 700-year-old germs.  Brings to mind Connie Willis's Doomsday Book (which beats letting myself get all scoffy at the things people say online and is a good read).
