Covid 19 VS Black Death

As we all know Covid-19 has killed thousands, infected millions and nerved billions. But how does it compare to the blackdeath in the 14th century because as we know that has gone down as one of the worst events in history. about a fair bit in the 21st century

The black death had started by some bacteria. Now you probably think how some bacteria causes one of the worst events in history. The bacteria got passed onto some rodents, (mainly black rats) and the bacteria turned into the Black death which ended up killing over 75 million people.

Covid 19 on the other hand is still in its early stages. The Black death had 5 years to spread and everybody is hoping we eliminate covid as soon as possible before it can kill more. Covid 19 is spreading as slower than the black death and killing less. as the black death and proving fatel.

In conclusion so far it is safe to say the Black death is worse than Covid. Covid 19 has come at a better time since we are able to make vaccines and will likely be able to get rid of the deadly virus quicker. Though that doesn’t mean we can’t be on are toes, careful when going outdoors and remember to WASH YOUR HANDS
