The audacity to paint the Islamic prohibition on fleeing a plague as backwards and then wondering why it took three or four months for the black Death to travel from Alexandria to Cairo. British men should be banned from pretending they can think.

"The world has experienced two major global pandemics in the modern era: the so-called Spanish Flu, between 1918 and 1920, and COVID-19"

"leaving behind only seven out of seventy - the equivalent of a 90% fatality rate."
"Three out of every five people perished from the Black Death - the equivalent of a 60% mortality rate" bitch I know fractions.
Also Asbridge conflates the rate of survivors with the mortality of the disease and assumes 10% survival rate must be exaggerated. Lots of examples of just incapacitation rates causing famine in Spanish flu
