During and after the Black Plague in Europe, were there any changes in social etiquette?
When Europe was suffering from the Black Plague in the 1300's, did people in plague-affected regions change their social etiquette at all? For example, I'm wondering if they tried to avoid personal contact with strangers or if their rules for interacting with people were any different. If so, did these changes stick? Did people keep living like that after the plague?
