Would You Quarantine Your Whole Town?

Imagine your entire village choosing to lock itself down to save thousands of strangers. That’s exactly what Eyam did during the Black Plague in 1665. When the deadly disease hit, the villagers decided to cut themselves off from the world—knowing many wouldn’t survive. Over 260 out of 350 people died, but their sacrifice stopped the plague from spreading. Talk about next-level community spirit! Eyam’s story is a wild reminder of how far people will go to protect others. #History #TrueStory #Community
