  I guess I'm here today because my ancestors were antisocial. I'm glad to carry on the tradition.

  The way plague doctors were portrayed as by people during the plague outbreaks is heartbreaking. Instead of being perceived as people being there to help those who couldn&apos;t help themselves, people who accompanied those who were alone in their final moments, and people who put their health and lives at risk, they&apos;re perceived as being an omen of death. These plague doctors deserve more praise than they&apos;re given. Their outfits are what lead to the modern-day hazmat suits that are in use today.<br>I did not expect my comment to blow up like this. Thank you all so much for the like! I deeply appreciate it!

  I can&apos;t imagine how a poor child must have felt being so ill and abandoned by their parents. What a heartbreaking, tragic event.

  So historically Poland is like if it&apos;s suffering, it&apos;s suffering alone, but If the whole world is suffering, Poland seems to be immune.

  This is excellent. It is a shame that the History channel was overtaken with reality shows when it used to have good documentaries and well written educational programs. This reminds me of those days.

  This has got to be the most detailed explanation of the plague I&apos;ve ever seen. &nbsp;Going into the battles, carriers and the bacteria itself. &nbsp;VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!

  No matter how sh*tty life might seem sometimes, remember how lucky you are that you weren’t born 700 years ago in Europe.

  Ok a more serious note. It makes me mad to watch this and then see online everyone complaining about 2021 and the world we live in. We complain as if we are not living in the time of hygiene and science…we should be more grateful
