Not surprising... not to mention that these European explorers had absolutely no idea what a virus was until centuries later. A small fact that seems to have conveniently slipped by the libtard “brain trust”...

So, flu viruses only survive for 15 minutes [...]

We were talking about smallpox. The Wikipedia excerpt I posted above concerned smallpox.

I thought it was primarily climate (rather than disposition) that made them desirable; there were always runaways, and scattered uprisings. Besides the more widely-known Nat Turner and Haitian revolts, the Danish West Indies (which eventually became the US Virgin Islands) had a bad one, and there was the Denmark Vesey plot in the Carolinas. As time went on and the slaves eventually were native-born, I’d imagine the desire to revolt probably declined as they’d known no other life (or place). Escape was desirable, but the idea of sailing elsewhere must have faded.

And smallpox is more fragile than flu. But never mind, you are going to believe what you want to believe, and ignore medical science. Viruses cannot be transmitted unless there is some contact with a wet sample. MAYBE if the blankets were still wet from the sneeze, cough or spit, it MIGHT happen. But, as I said, there would have to have been an infected person in the actual group; one who was close to dying already. Do you not see the ridiculousness?

If he wants to find Indians he just needs to go a little further south, to Guyana and Suriname. Lots of Indians (Hindustanis) there, along with Javanese.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):

Smallpox patients became contagious once the first sores appeared in their mouth and throat (early rash stage). [...] They remained contagious until their last smallpox scab fell off. [...] The virus can spread through these materials or through the objects contaminated by them, such as bedding or clothing. People who cared for smallpox patients and washed their bedding or clothing had to wear gloves and take care to not get infected.
