@Firespirit I see what you did there 👌

I'd say ebola.
But in history -
a) Malaria. Killed more than anything else.
b) Measles. It's wiped out entire civilisations. In Australia when white men arrived, by the time they got inland more than half the population had died. Then in my state of Victoria , it hit them again and wiped out half again. White men couldn't believe all the open grassland.
c) The plague in Europe. Entire towns disappeared and went back to forest.

@Abstraction Letter C. Are you talking about the Bubonic plague?
Abstraction · 61-69, M
@xSiFiGamer2016x Yes. "The most fatal pandemic recorded in human history, resulting in the deaths of up to 75–200 million people in Eurasia and North Africa, peaking in Europe from 1347 to 1351"

@Abstraction I've learned this since middle school. It was a project that I've done and doing so was interesting, but sad of how the Europeans died off quickly.

@SW-User It sounds as terrifying as it is deadly.

@senghenydd I'm glad our country knew this before it became a pandemic or an epidemic.

@xSiFiGamer2016x So far our world has kept that from getting out, I only hope we can get a vaccine for Ebola as well as Covid-19.

"Black death." (bubonic plague).
"The plague was the cause of the Black Death that swept through Asia, Europe, and Africa in the 14th century and killed an estimated 50 million people.[1][7] This was about 25% to 60% of the European population.[1][8] Because the plague killed so many of the working population, wages rose due to the demand for labor.[8] Some historians see this as a turning point in European economic development.[8] The disease was also responsible for the Justinian plague originating in the Eastern Roman Empire in the 6th century CE, as well as the third epidemic affecting China, Mongolia, and India originating in the Yunnan Province in 1855.[9] The term bubonic is derived from the Greek word βουβών, meaning "groin".[10] The term "buboes" is also used to refer to the swollen lymph nodes.[11]"

@Fernie It's not that serious. For real...

@Fernie Are you understanding the fact that calling me names won't affect me? No.
And I just lost someone from the virus today, so give me a fuckin' break. I could care less about your feelings for our president. I'm hurt that my aunt passed away. I guess you don't care, either...
