They tried to avoid the plague like the plague,
but they couldn't flee the fleas

You can watch a very historically accurate and 100% true documentary on netflix: The Decameron

Did you not witness the stupid during Covid ?

They did. Your confusion is on the meaning of the commonly used phrase.

Avoid it like the plague actually means you’re going to do almost nothing but hope you don’t die.
