“the Black Death may have killed up to 200 million people”
Good grief!
“Most historians think that the plague killed somewhere between 30% and 60% of Europe's population between 1347 and 1351.“
“Bring out your dead”
Very interesting as well.

“The Black Death is one of the most significant, deadliest and bleakest moments in human history. It is estimated that up to 200 million people died.
Researchers suspected an event of such enormity must have shaped human evolution. They analysed DNA taken from the teeth of 206 ancient skeletons and were able to precisely date the human remains to before, during or after the Black Death.
The analysis included bones from the East Smithfield plague pits which were used for mass burials in London with more samples coming from Denmark.
The standout finding, published in the journal Nature, surrounded mutations in a gene called ERAP2.
If you had the right mutations you were 40% more likely to survive the plague.
“That's huge, it's a huge effect, it's a surprise to find something like that in the human genome,” Professor Luis Barreiro, from the University of Chicago, told me.”
HISTORYS MOST LETHAL PLEAUGE IS MARXISM.
Maybe that’s the next one. They have to depopulate somehow.
Bet this one forcefully works on the elderly (Medicare/Medicaid)
Babies too. Not enough abortions.
