Little to nothing was known of germs and bacteria prior to the 17th century.

Superstition was rife in these times and infection was attributed to a number of things including bad air, evil spirits, poisoned wells, foreigners and sin amongst other things. Populations affected by the plague had little reason to suspect it was transmitted from rats and mice to humans by the bites of fleas.

Being born on the 30th of September, 1943 during World War II does not sound like the ideal time for a lover to be born. My parents must have been optimists as my eldest sister was born while war was threatening, the next sister born as the war started and I was born before the war ended, just prior to the baby-boom.
