And war in the 21st century .. can’t be any worse than reality think I’ll write a book and buy some new gear with the prophets profits

Yeah people are downplaying this on the grounds that we have decent antibiotics and know how to use them.

Untreated bubonic plague has a mortality rate of 50 - 60% - that's what happened off and on for about 300 years in Europe.
Treated bubonic plague has a mortality rate of 1 - 5% which is either more or less than Covid-19, depending who you believe.

Mind you, in the 2017 plague in Madagascar, 165 people died out of 2000 or so infected. Which is way higher than 5% and that was mostly in big cities so maybe it's pretty dangerous still.

In better news, far fewer people are dying of flu this year (in the southern hemisphere) than usual. Doctors are saying washing your hands and staying away from people if you're ill really might be a good idea.
