    Oh, ok. Yeah there was a worse than normal outbreak during the previous 300 years, but “plague is raging in Europe” applies just as well for the previous 1000 years.

    That said, I’m not disagreeing, 300 years should be enough to numb down a population.

      For sure! Turns out open “sewers” and letting wildlife and pigs just do their thing wherever isn’t great for health.

      My thoughts were Newton didn’t see it as anything other than normal so of course he’s going on about his day. His life was the “this is fine dog” lol
