On Thursday in his rambling words to the American people that did little to allay any fears of the corona virus pandemic or give any useful information about what is going on and how things will be dealt with, although we did learn that Trump still hates the press for reporting facts and he will continue calling it the “Chinese Flu” which was not, according to him, in any way racist, Trump revealed, yet again, his ignorance of world history in his attempt to represent the pandemic as an overwhelming event that only his leadership can deal with making the claim,

“I would view it as something that just surprised the whole world. Nobody knew there would be a pandemic or epidemic of this proportion.

“So there’s never been anything like this in history. There’s never been. And nobody’s ever seen anything like this.”

Two words, Mr. President, Black Death.

Also known as the Pestilence, Bubonic Plague, the Great Plague or simply the Plague, it was one of the most devastating pandemics in human history that resulted in the deaths of an estimated 75 to 200 million people in Europe  from 1347 to 1351.

The descendants of those who survived, mainly because they had some form of immunity, while not exhibiting symptoms, were carriers of this and future plagues to the “New World”, devastating the Native American population who, like those 200 million in Europe had no immunity.

Ironically, this is the 400^th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims in Plymouth and their being greeted by Squanto whose tribe had been wiped out by the European plague introduced by explorers and those who fished off of the New England coast.

In all probability the planned festive gatherings centered on all things “pilgrim” may very well have to be cancelled because of a virus that has arrived on this continent from somewhere else.

The Black Death is estimated to have killed 30% to 60% of the people in Europe in a four year period, and the world population from an estimated 475 million to 350–375 million in the 14th century.

Recovery from the Plague and its aftermath took 200 years and included renewed religious fervor and fanaticism because many believed the epidemic was a punishment by God  with certain groups such as Jews, foreigners, beggars, and Gypsies getting blamed by those who could not accept that they themselves had sinned that much so it had to be because of “the Others”.

The plague was present somewhere in Europe in every year between 1346 and 1671 during which time it was brought to the Western Hemisphere.

Europe was not the only place hit by the plague, but the members of Trump’s Euro-centric crowd might not care yo hear about anyone outside of Europe,but affected Asia, Russia, the African continent, and the Muslim world as well.

The price of food dropped and land values declined by 30–40% in most parts of Europe, so survivors of the plague found that the price of food was cheaper and land was more abundant. The rules of property inheritance were severely disrupted, some property was not passed on to anyone in an erased family, the feudal system began to collapse, and, without ruling families there was upheaval in social and political structures.

As much as Trump may want people to believe that a large pandemic has never happened before so anything he does, regardless how wrong and politically based, will make him look good, anyone who paid attention in history classes or can use a computer can see through this.

He would do better to accept this is not about him, but about us, so he will do what is best for “We the People” and not his image.
