Title: Putting COVID-19 in some historical prospective. The Black Death
Post by: WLJ on May 15, 2020, 10:39:15 AM: Shad gets into many of the misconceptions about the Black Death and that fact that there's a lot we don't know about it.

I was reading something the other day that there is a group of disease researchers that feel the "black death" was actually an Ebola type virus and the survivors of the "black death" have passed on inherited genetic material to the future generations and this is why we haven't had a "black death" outbreak in the modern era.

Maybe getting bitten by a super tick a few years ago will save me. I need everyone's addresses and safe combos, so I know where the guns are.

Interestingly, you made it all the way through April without bringing up THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN.

Apparently my humor is a little too subtle for y'all. The address is for Dick van Patten's fan mail. He's the actor that played King Roland in Spaceballs.
