Smallpox spread from person to person via infectious droplets, It is also spread by drilling into the teeth of dead Vikings.

Random weird question:
I wonder how the Mongol practice of depopulating entire areas impacted the spread of diseases from east to west back in the day?
Did it halt some plagues?
Did it push plagues to the west with the refugees that managed to get away?

SmallPox and the Plague are the 2 worst infections diseases of all time. One a virus and one a bacterium.
Malaria is probably an honorable mention. or dishonorable to be more accurate.

What are the consequences of “digging” into smallpox infestations? It’s one of the reasons I don’t agree with grave digging.

What did Fauci do? He was around back then wasnt he?
