By Mark Miravalle, Catholic Exchange - In 1348, the Black Plague or “Great Pestilence” led to the deaths of between 30 to 60 percent of medieval Europe, killing one out of every two or three people on the continent… In 1918, the Great Influenza or “Spanish Flu” killed approximately 50 million people, over twice the total number of soldiers who died during World War I. Its mortality to infection ratio was approximately 3 percent, with 3 out of every 100 infected people dying from the virus… Coronavirus (COVID-19) is presently manifesting a 3.4 percent mortality rate, with some 90,000 infected and over 3,000 reported deaths to date.
