The Worst Pandemics in History



In the "things could be worse" department, we can take precautions against COVID-19, and we can take the opportunity to learn about the horrible pandemics of the past. Plague, smallpox, and Spanish flu destroyed communities and even whole civilizations. We've learned a lot about disease mitigation since then. (via Laughing Squid)

The pandemic post is realistic, not cheerful, but you put up a lot of extremely funny stuff and that's a good antidote to grouchiness. Thanks.
