#1 But here's the good news -

Barreiro doesn't believe Covid will have the same impact because it doesn't kill across the age spectrum and primarily kills the elderly who aren't procreating.

#4 Assuming a proper response to an epoch pandemic such as Black Death, how far back in time would we need to go in order to have a proper authority response?

90's? 2000's?

Its the one thing Black Death and Covid have in common - Authority did everything wrong. I like the part where community patrols made sure their neighbors stayed locked in their house, and only certain members of society which allowed the wealthy to continue on were allowed travel.

#5 We are the descendants of those that survived past pandemics

Unfortunately, we won't survive present politics. Guess what was worse.
