The high concentrations of Europeans living in cities since Ancient Rome and Greece and before, inevitably caused by poor sanitation and bad water, plagues hit European cities one by one for thousands of years killing millions and millions of people over several thousand years. So, the ONLY people left in Europe were immune to these plagues for the most part.
So, when white people came to the U.S. in the 1500s and 1600s 90% of the local indigenous people died of the common cold, flu, yellow fever and smallpox and the like and even malaria brought over by white people by just white people being around or near Native Americans who had no immunity whatsoever to any of these things.
The Coronavirus is doing the same thing to black people and indigenous peoples of all kinds worldwide now.
It's very strange. What is the world going to look like after Covid-19?
Is it going to be all White people and Asian people?
Is that all that will remain of earth's cultures?
