Do I get to wear a mask again?!?!? I got some snazzy new designs.
I wonder what the rate of disease today versus 20, 50, 100, 500 years ago? I know this is impossible to nail down because data does not exist. Even today it's only estimates and depends on definitions, who is reporting, where it is reported, etc.
My tin foil hat tells me there is not much of a difference over time. However, we know the threat of a new disease really scares people. If I were in the business of keeping the populace on their back foot, diseases are something I would fear monger.
