Imagine going to the doctor, waiting, your name is called up to room 12 or whatever, wait a bit, door opens and doctor comes in with pen and pad and that large scary bird beak mask with spices inside it  |

And btw, wtf are they warning you to wipe down with “anti-bacterial” wipes and use “anti-bacterial” hand sanitizer? Dimwit  LOL, yeah the Black Death virus was weak af by today’s standards. If this strain of Corona virus hit back in those dark ages, the entire human population may have possibly gone extinct. It would have even traveled quick to the Americas and kill off the humans there too. But our meds are too good today that compared to Black Death, it’ll just be remembered as a blip on the radar |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 75547543 Malaysia03/14/2020 07:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | At the time it wasn't, it was stronger because we didn't have antibiotics to kill the plague. The plague was relentless and killed millions of children also. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 35765549 So I would have to disagree. That’s basically what he said in the post bro! (if you even read it) Tech, medical advancements, precautions (antibiotics) make it less severe today. But compare both side by side, eras and generations aside, winner by knockout = Corona Virus |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 75547543 Malaysia03/14/2020 07:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don’t believe it was. I think it was a hemorrhagic virus, far worse than this Chinese coronavirus, and it was NOT transmitted by fleas. That’s ridiculous. It wasn’t fleas, it was rats and nasty rodents. Remember, this was a time when travel and trade by ship was taking off big, on a mass scale. It’s only natural of the consequences. |

The population was smaller, majority of people lived like shit in highly unhygienic conditions, little health education, lack of meds and tech, don’t forget the rise of trade and travel by ship, contaminated rodents from everywhere, it’s bound to happen... just look at what the Spanish did the natives of the new world. Like I said, take tech out, take populations and timelines away. Just compare the viruses itself, clear winner Corona Virus by landslide |

What, you think a rat would breathe on a person and infect him? Bullshit For example, the Black Death killed half the human population of Iceland. You know how many rats were in Iceland? NONE ZERO |

From what I understand ventilators wouldn’t have done them any good. They weren’t dying by the millions because of dirty conditions. That is nonsense. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 22806341 United States03/14/2020 07:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Because people lived in unsanitary conditions, didn’t have high technology and today’s advanced medical measures and precautions, millions of people died, a great chunk of the population vanished. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78617035 If that type of plague hit the planet today, it would only be akin to the common cold, low-lever strain of flu or bacterial fungus that can be cured easily with over the counter meds. If the Corona virus presented itself in the 1300s, way more people would have perished, almost to the brink of human extinction. Even then, we’re still prevailing... It’ll be over soon guys! Doom off!  |

NONE ZERO First of all bro, Iceland was spared of the Black Death in the 1340s/50s when it struck. They did get hit later on (twice I believe), but that was in the late 1400s and 1500s. They just called it “The Plague” but it was completely different from the Black Death. And ships, bro, ships... by that time nearing the 1500s, Iceland had port towns for ships, so clearly infected rats and other such things like insects infested the population |

However.... It can safely be assumed that Iceland was not populated by rats at this time, this may offer the strongest available proof that an epidemic like the Black Death was not dependent on rats for its dissemination.

Bacterium needs to evolve and when it can’t find hosts to infect anymore, it has to mutate and get stronger, so yeah, Corona is a stronger bacteria all-in-all, no doubt |
