C.E. another way to ignore Christ.
To: Midwesterner53
I just look at “C.E.” as meaning Christian Era.

When you read the descriptions of the sudden onset of the 1918-1919 Spanish Flu, the black faces and black lips of its victims, the sudden but steady transfer of the Spanish FLu from town to town (by touch, by physical proximity and by (airborne) close association during ship transport, train and camp associations .... It is the same spread and the same speed as the Black Death.
Yes. I know the ever-repeated theory that the Black Death was spread by fleas spread by rats from the ships and trade caravans coming from China and the Silk Trade across the MidEast. But I see no evidence contradicting the Black Death as a Spanish Influenza mutation.

The Spanish Lady influenza has been isolated in victims' remains, and it's flu. And Yersinia Pestis has been isolated in Black Death remains. So, no.

I do that too. I once told someone that CE means Christian Era.
In trying to deny any connection to the life of Christ, in our calendar, the years are still counting from the time of Christ’s birth. Yes I know that many think Christ was born somewhere between 4 BC and 6 BC and not in the Year 1. But the point is, in using this CE nomenclature, they still are using the count from the time of Christ in numbering the years. They aren’t fooling anyone.

:^) It’s no worse than any other case of the sniffles, but even a mild virus can be an opportunistic infection and help push already-ill patients into a death spiral. The Black Death was 72-hours-and-out, while panic porn got its victims to hoard toilet paper. :^)
