#blackdeath/coronavirusDeCimarron is a book about the black plague that ended in 1350. Those who believed that the plague was spread by person to person contact fled to the countryside and survived. Those who did not believe that the disease was spread by person to person contact stayed in the cities and towns. They drank in bars, They gathered in big groups, They died in massive numbers. 670 years later we are making the same mistakes by disavowing marks and social distancing. There are words from a Peter, Paul, and Mary song from the 1960's that apply here:as follows:

"When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?"

The only people who are dying are old and people with comorbidities. Most people don't even get a cough. This is not something to flee unless you fall into the at risk category.

Average age of corona death is older than average age of death.

I've popped pimples that were worse than Corona. But, hey, let's continue to monitor the fear titer that has been artificially created and see how far the social and political control can go.

So, covid is making the average age of death go up?

WTF at comparing a respiratory virus causing a cold/flu illness with the plague! lol! We should have a time-travel exchange program for the mask nazis and fear porners, they can "voluntarily" go back to the times where the plague as everywhere. They can even take one ABx of their choice with them.

At the turn of the 20th century, the world was gripped by a plague pandemic that had spread from China to port cities around the globe.


Why do so many plagues come from China?

Because it's a shithole.

I'm really disappointed I thought Jack was educated.
Surely he knows the Black death was spread by fleas. Then just as it is today.
The fleas were spread by Rats and Mice. They were able to finally stop it, by getting rid of their rat infestation and pest control.

Caregivers didn't catch it from their patients, unless the same mice, rats and fleas were in the same house with them.

The plague mask was used to mask the stench of death, it was not a medical mask.

Marco Polo brought the plague back to Europe from...
...drumroll...
China!
