February 2, 1349

On February 2, 1349, London, England was burying at least 200 people a day as a result of the Bubonic Plague. This disease had a mortality rate of over 80% if contracted. In 2020, many people in America were going, “This Corona Virus isn’t a real plague. It doesn’t have the ummph that the Black Death had.” When asked would they prefer something a little more deadly, they answered, “Sure. At least that way we’d know it’s real. This Corona virus isn’t really dangerous. It’s just another flu and if you’re young, you’ll survive it.” 414,000 dead later, they’re still repeating their complaints, about how they can’t go and get a hair-cut and why didn’t grammy leave them more money when she died from the Corona.

Jeez, humans! You're practically begging for someone more advanced to take over and save you from yourselves. Share this post to place your bets on whether or not you'll kill yourselves off before then.
