The bubonic plague, also known as the Black Death, had a devastating impact on Europe in the 14th century. It caused widespread death and led to significant social, economic, and cultural changes. With an estimated death toll of 25-30 million people, the plague reshaped the structure of society, labor systems, and religious practices. Similarly, the COVID-19 pandemic has had far-reaching consequences, causing global death and illness, disrupting economies, and necessitating changes in everyday life, such as social distancing and the prioritization of healthcare systems. Both pandemics highlight the vulnerability and interconnectedness of societies and the need for effective public health measures.
