Plague, Covid-19 n' stuff

Athens was hit with a plague in 430BC, there were numerous amounts of plagues suggested being the Athenian plague but all of them were shot down for not being fatal diseases. While Covid-19 not being as lethal as the Athenia plague, is has still infected more people than the Athenian plague. Covid-19 was first spotted on December 31, 2019, when China notified WHO. Just like the Athenian Plague, this spread mass panic. In Athens, the plague killed around 25% of the population while the coronavirus killed .0002% of our population. They are similar in the way of being feared, but they are completely diffrent in the death rates. One thing that's very diffrent is that the coronavirus is happening now and we have to be careful of what we do, to prevent the spread of it.
