Doctor you know this, in the 14th century the Black Death wiped out 60% of the European population. The plague killed indescriminitely. The artists, scientists, thinkers, so few and precious to begin with were wiped out. It upended the social order and prolonged the Dark Ages 150 years. I cannot let that happen here.
