True, the black death was a huge spike in terms of world population, also consider the world population at the time of the black death epidemic, it had to be much smaller than it is now. So statisticly we may have a higher life expectancy rate (mostly), but more people than ever are dying per year. I suppose with that said the issue seems moot, more people obviously means more death, but even so that percentage of deaths from the bubonic plague probally equalites to some rather small percentage compared to nowdays head count.
Pretty much there is more sickness and death than there ever was simply even because there is many humans on the globe as it is. At least, thats mostly a fairly educated guess but it seems logical to me . . _________________ Intellectual honesty is characterized by a readiness to scrutinize what one believes to be true, and to pay sufficient attention to other evidence available
You can only trust what you are born into, otherwise there is no other way of learning what and how. Pride and ignorance though plainly lables those who are unwilling to learn, yet willing to hold onto their inherited information blindly.
Eh 21st century matters not, things are just repeated throughout history, with a new layer of paint of course. The only real noticable thing about the present is that the generalised 'bad things' are much, much, more common than previously. The truth is around admist the confusion, but it is more than noticable to those who are looking for it. _________________ Intellectual honesty is characterized by a readiness to scrutinize what one believes to be true, and to pay sufficient attention to other evidence available
