Western Civilization did not collapse with the coming of the Black Death in 1348 and that killed 20,000,000 or more people.

It did, however, cause many serious political, economic and cultural changes in society.

This is not a “cold”. Look at the x-rays from some of the victims. Their lungs are ravaged by this. Some people will barely feel sick, others will recover and be fine, others will die, still others will recover but might have permanent damage.

This is NOT a cold.

Authorities in Rome on Friday announced 5,986 new cases and a record 627 new deaths, raising the totals to 47,021 infections and 4,032 fatalities. In Spain, the death toll rose to 1,002, a highest-ever increase of 235 in 24 hours.

The only people I have ever heard of dying of a cold are Soviet premiers. /s

CDC Data from 2017. Number of American deaths from pneumonia. 49,157. Old people do die. My dad died from it two months ago.

THAT was a hilarious point.

The bottom line is that unhealthy people across all factors can easily die from the Cold let alone Corona.
