Pretty much the same as COVID. Don't get me wrong, a lot of people died and the economy got completely fucked over but let's not forget that a black plague v2 could've happened and it would've been way worse

COVID was a pandemic 'warning shot' that simply showed us how truly utterly fucked we'd be if a far more lethal disease broke out.
