Isn't it too early for another pandemic? Like, a century too early?
@Hexagon @yogthos Haha, it would be nice if diseases followed the rules that we make up for them right?
There are pandemics all the time. There was one in 1918, which everyone knows about because TV, there was one about 20 years prior in 1889. Also in 1956 and 1968 which next to no one knows. Unless you study the field or are in Academics.
Before that they travelled slower or where even more isolated due to general lack of travel. Also, domestication played a role.
