During the Black Death in the 14th century, plague doctors wore creepy

WRONG! Those masks were from a plague outbreak centuries later--and most
doctors never wore anything like that at all!
With a mix of sidebars, illustrations, photos, and graphic panels,
acclaimed author Kate Messner delivers the whole truth about diseases
like the bubonic plague, cholera, smallpox, tuberculosis, polio,
influenza, and COVID-19.
