Although the London plague was not a pandemic as we now understand the word, for the citizens of that great capital, the experience of it was total. For those that did not flee the disease, the City was the World. In this postscript, I present some reflections on life during the plague in London as Defoe described it and offer some comparisons to our experiences during a pandemic of our own.
