"Some it quite covered [with pustules] on all parts - their faces, their hands, their breasts, etc.
There was great havoc. Very many died of it. They could not walk; they only lay in their resting
places and beds. They could not move; they could not stir; they could not change position, nor
lie on one side, nor face down, nor on their backs. And if they stirred, much did they cry out.
Great was its destruction. Covered, mantled with pustules, very many died of them. And very
many starved; there was death from hunger, [for] none could take care of [the sick]; nothing
could be done for them."
Bartolome de Las Casas, 1519, Florentine Codex
