Jan 12, 2018 · This year marks the 100th anniversary of the great influenza pandemic of 1918. Between 50 and 100 million people are thought to have died, representing as much as 5 percent of the worlds population. Half a billion people were infected.
We really don't know HOW many people died from the Bubonic plague, started in China. You can start enumerating all the plagues in our world. This is 2020 for heavens sake--not the 14th century.
For all that's happened in the world you would THINK that the Chinese would have LEARNED by now that cleanliness isn't so expensive. They still use human fecal waste to fertilize their farms.
The Chinese government KNOWS better but they just WON'T control the filth.
I've been to China. They couldn't hide the filth from us and we were shown ONLY the nicest, cleanest places in the PRC. Lord have MERCY!
