World War.

It is so stupid that people are fearing corona virus as the worst
global pandemics such as corona could lead to world/trade war if it keeps getting worse and resources get really scarce :redface:
It's strange that I am always calm. Even in the worst situations

It's okay. I understand all humans keep their identity an enigma so they don't get caught by a sexual offender and bad people.

It's okay to say what continent you live in but not where you live exactly.

I think it's generally a good idea not to reveal your location online.
Do you want more people revealing where they live?

Bubonic plague, coronavirus or world war


Bubonic plague has certainly been very destructive throughout human history. The Black Death by some estimates killed up to 60% of Europe's population, and is often regarded as the deadliest pandemic in human history. The Plague of Justinian was also believed to have been caused by bubonic plague and was almost equally as devastating in it's time. There is also some evidence of a bubonic plague pandemic during the Neolithic, which led to a significant reduction in Europe's population.

But I would say the 1st and 2nd World Wars were more destructive overall and have had more far reaching consequences, which are still very much felt to this day.

As for the Coronavirus, it's impossible to say yet just how destructive it may be. Hopefully it won't be anywhere near as bad as some of the past pandemics.
