“Be glad you live when you do”
Well that didn’t age well 😂
Exactly what I came here to comment. 😂😭
The corona virus is nothing like the plagues mentioned in this video. Saying stuff like that just makes people unreasonably fearful. Better to be factual. If the death rate somehow increases several million times we can start talking...

That moment you think covid is the death of humanity.
@@user-lv6rn9cf8m stop downplaying the deaths! It's not a freaking contest. This is something that a lot of people have never dealt with. We have a right to think it's awful. Who cares iF thE WorLD hAs SeEN woRsE. This is the worse we have seen and it's all we know. Stop telling me what to think and feel.
“Be glad you live when you do” is STILL right. If we had this pandemic without modern medicine we’d be way more screwed.
You are so right! This is such an underrated comment.
Hope you're doing well and keeping safe during this time.
It seems more likely that this pandemic was caused by today's technology.
But still, I'm glad I live now and not then.
@@NeoN-PeoN caused? No. Helped make it more easily spreadable? Definitely
@@maineventmafia1633 what? You STILL think this virus evolved naturally from bats? Get real, dude. Jeez.
@@NeoN-PeoN never said anything about where it came from. I just said our current technology definitely didn’t help. Get real dude. Jeez.

You forgot the honorable mention - polio. I'm too young to remember it, but apparently it was scary. My mom remembers her sister and her not being allowed to play outside because of the polio epidemic.
My grandma caught that influenza strain back in 1918, when she was a little toddler in Brooklyn. She managed to survive by the skin of her teeth, grow up, raise hell, have a badass life, create my mother, and stride off into the unknowable ether in 2004 surrounded by her loving family.
All of us exist only because we still hang from threads threaded through the fickle fingers of the fist of fate. So let's try our best to be kind.

Beautiful, James. Thank you.
You know damn well that within days of destroying the last smallpox samples, mediumpox will emerge and we'll be wishing we had some samples of smallpox to study.
And then largepox. And then hugepox. And then gigantopox. It never ends.

Me: *clicked on this video out of curiosity*
Also me: I wonder what the comments section is like.
Comments section: _Quarantine jokes_
About 1918 being a horrible year, in my native country, Iceland, we have a whole book (at least when I was a kid) that was basically all about how terrible this year was.
In that year we had the worst economic depression of the 20th century (caused by WWI), the Spanish influenza epidemic which killed a sizeable population, a massive volcanic eruption IN A GLACIER causing massive flooding, and then to top it all off we had one of the coldest recorded winters ever up until that point.
1918, not a great year anywhere.
hognigk96 Umm, books don’t ‘unbook’ with age..
Meant that it was mandatory reading when I was a kid. I don’t English so well.
Well, i have to disagree with the "anywhere" part.
Oddly enough. Here in Czechia (and Slovakia also) we celebrate 1918 as the year we got rid of Habsburg monarchy and the county was formed (Due to WWI partially). It is a national holiday.
guzmaekstroem that’s really cool, congrats on the 100 year anniversary of your countries independence! Similarly, the only good thing to come out of 1918 for us was our sovereignty from the Danes (not full independence but close) and that was also largely a result of the war.
Mexico the year that Mexican Revolution (which was basically a civil war), ended setting up the political party that ruled till 2000, a party known for killing students and disappearing reporters.
Edit: I was off on the date it officialy ended but pretty much the whole decade sucked.
I worked with a man who lived in the London, England area who told me an interesting story about a friend of his. They lived in a very, very old house that throughout the centuries was renovated and updated a lot. He was in the process of breaking down a wall to expand the room when he found an old wall that was previously covered up by newer walls. When they started to break through they found hundreds of rat skeletons infused into the wall. Finding this very strange and creepy, he decided to do some research on why this could have been done. He found an article that stated during the Black Plague the people knew the rats had something to do with all the deaths that were occurring, but didn’t know how or why this was happening. At the time many believed that the rats were cursed, and they were continually looking for wards to drive off the rats and the plague. Since there was an abundance of dead rats in the area, local builders felt that if they mixed them in with the mortar and cement, it would scare off the live rats carrying the disease. So not only did the guy find out why there was an abundance of dead rats imbedded in his wall, he found out that parts of the house was built sometime around 1350 ad, which was 500 years earlier than he thought. I found this story very interesting and appropriate based on your video!
I love you Joe. Lol. Completely addicted to your history-telling. Some new, some not. I like your editorializing too.
One of my favourite medical facts is that the final stage of AIDS is scientifically known as 'full-blown aids' as he says in the video. Still cracks me up even though it's a touchy subject. Also I wanted to add that Magic Johnson, one of the best basketball players of all time, was another person to normalize AIDS and get it the attention it deserves. I also live in Kwa-zulu Natal, the province in South Africa which has the highest AIDS percentage, around 17%, in the country with the most AIDS-affected people in the world. Our neighbouring country Eswatini, formerly known as Swaziland, has a higher percentage at 27% although it has a far lower population.
Magic Johnson to me is proof there was a cure for AIDS in the early 90s but it was withheld from the population because of the cost and that at that time it was thought to only infect gays and drug needle sharers. Undesirables in the 1990s. There's no other way he should be alive today or should have lived at all past about 1994 if not for being a crazy rich celebrity that was given access to a cure that was withheld from millions of people. Our society it truly evil.
@@vicenzor3625 There is a temporary "Cure" called ARVs, Antiretroviral treatment. It doesn't cure the condition but it reduces the amount of HIV in your body and keeps you healthy. Problem is it's extremely expensive, which is even more fucked up because it exists but only the 0.1% could afford it when most sufferers are struggling to make it financially as it is
My best friend at the time contracted HIV in 2000. He's living a normal life today, works as a teacher, is married, travels, etc. Growing up in the 80s it was a death sentence and so taboo that it was only hush-hush talked about.
Smallpox and whooping cough killed all my kids in Oregon trail. I was in 6th grade and had no business being a parent anyways.
Huh? All I remember from the stupid Oregon Trail crap that I did in grade school was trading in pelts. I guess that's what they used as currency back in those days. At least that's what my teacher claimed anyways.
Thanksgiving and I will be there at all the time and I will be there at all the time and I will be there for it it's just the vhs was just thinking that bad the time but it will force myself and the other will you
😂😂😂
And I thought dysentery and explosive diarrhea was bad.
I thought it was *always* dysentery that killed people, even when they fell off a cliff

Right lol
History is more likely going to examine the mass hysteria aspect of the Coronavirus pandemic; all the crazy societal changes it triggered.
@@ernestsmith3581 500,00 dead is close to the 675,000 dead in america in 1918
Compare to a percentage of population, and it's nowhere as bad. Now also consider that 100,000 people died in 2021 in America from drug overdose, and you can see that we have other epidemics that need attention @@nosuchthing8
@Joshua Tootell a million people died from covid already in America alone.
And unlike most of these other issues, like cancer or drug overdoses, you CAN catch covid from someone that's standing in line at the grocery store.
The average life span has declined, and the death rate has jumped up.
You couldn't be more wrong.
The expression "mind your own beeswax". That expression came from antebellum time. On southern plantations, the expression could be heard among the ladies. Small Pox was active in antebellum time and the survivors were left with circular scars. These scars were not acceptable to the plantation ladies. What they would do is fill the scars with beeswax and cover it up with makeup. Hense "Mind your own beeswax"

"Be glad you live when you do."
*Laughs in 2020*
THERE is a small town in the UK that seems to have been immune to the plague. the people in that town also seem to be immune to AIDS. Saw a show about this a few years ago. do a show on this please.
Joe:talks about death
Music: *happy time*
1918 was so bad and went on for so long that my great grandmother died from it, my great grandfather remarried, then he died of it and his new wife abandoned my grandfather and his uncle at an orphanage because there were no other blood relatives that could take them. They were all dead. That whole side of the family was wiped away except for two little kids.
You forgot to mention the variant of Small Pox that cause your skin to slough off your body in sheets. Like a reptile shedding but there's no new skin underneath.
There is a really amazing novel about someone trying to weaponize that "sledge hammer small pox". It's definitely one of my top 5 reads. Its called "I am Pilgrim". It actually switches perspective between the 2 lead characters back and forth. One is the creator of the weapon and the other is a US black ops agent who is tasked with tracking him. Code name: Pilgrim. It really gives you perspective from both sides. Super highly recommend it. It has some good science it in and lots of cool spy stuff.
After spending a couple weeks looking for something to binge watch, I seem to have struck gold with this channel. It's wonderful!
Just thought I'd ad that that as someone currently in their early 20's, who grew up well after the HIV breakout, our culture surrounding condom use is basically you use one by default.
If she's still there in the morning & you're spooning slip one in from behind and say 'it's cool, we know each other now'. Works for me!
And the reason it's at that default is.... Wait for it.... HIV.
@@christschinwon was this supposed to be a rape joke?
@UCW49svTT9b99qyZi_R34MtQ wtf really? No you imbecile he's doing her without a condom nothing to do with rape nor does it even sound like it does unless you want there to be.
@@fordshojoe8080 If a guy and I agreed that we only use condoms, and then he just shoves it in me raw without first asking if I'm comfortable with that, I'd feel pretty fucking violated. I didn't say he could do that. So yeah, definitely wrong, definitely outright rape if he kept going.
Stay safe Joe, love your videos brother. Hell everyone stay safe. I hope this passes sooner than later.
Thx Joe for another great video and doing all the work to compile it.

In 92 my uncle was the soul survivor of a head on collision car accident, he was asleep in the back of a Van so his brain didn’t register the accident and his body being relaxed played a big part .
He had massive internal bleeding though and needed a transfusion , which he unfortunately contracted AIDS from

I love your description of what radio is
Apparently the War of the worlds ’panic’ never actually happened. The broadcast wasn’t that popular. It was later made up as a PR stunt to advertise the show. The ’panic’ is one of those things that isn’t true, despite everyone knowing it is.
Mandela Effect?
The idea that Welles created a panic among listeners who thought there was a real invasion is unsupported by facts. The newspapers stories about this 'panic' were an attempt to discredit radio as a source of 'real' news. Makes we wonder about how well the rest of the video is researched.
www.telegraph.co.uk/radio/what-to-listen-to/the-war-of-the-worlds-panic-was-a-myth/
Swinging the pendulum all the way back in the other direction with this silly conspiracy tale that it was the newspapers conspiring against radio isn't going to restore balance. It couldn't have been an advertising stunt either because it was a live broadcast that had already occurred. It's just the mirror image of the same nonsense you two are supposedly trying to debunk.
Some people did freak out, but very few. This was a commercial radio broadcast and they took station breaks and announced that this was a dramatic program. But it wasn't a massive audience, it was about 2% of the listeners in that hour according to ratings agencies. There were other radio networks besides CBS with more popular programs.
My grandpa was a teenager at the time, and he did listen to the broadcast. I asked him if he was scared by it, and he said no that he was a regular listener to the show, which was an anthology, and he recognized Orson Wells's voice. He had also read War of the Worlds so that he also recognized the story as a story. He had never heard of the panic until much later. He thought the whole panic was a publicity stunt.
How did the story of panicked listeners begin? Blame America’s newspapers. Radio had siphoned off advertising revenue from print during the Depression, badly damaging the newspaper industry. So the papers seized the opportunity presented by Welles’ program to discredit radio as a source of news. The newspaper industry sensationalized the panic to prove to advertisers, and regulators, that radio management was irresponsible and not to be trusted. In an editorial titled “Terror by Radio,” the New York Times reproached “radio officials” for approving the interweaving of “blood-curdling fiction” with news flashes “offered in exactly the manner that real news would have been given.” Warned Editor and Publisher, the newspaper industry’s trade journal, “The nation as a whole continues to face the danger of incomplete, misunderstood news over a medium which has yet to prove ... that it is competent to perform the news job.”

@Michael Jones Wrong on many levels. First different family of virus so it is not literally the flu. Second the case mortality rate is 3.4%, just announced by the WHO. This makes it 34 times more deadly than the average flu. It is far more infectious. If it is just a bad flu why has China been shut down? The Chinese government is not behaving like it is just a flu.
By the end of the year the death toll will be in the millions. But given its exponential growth in a month, 2 at the most it will be obvious to everyone how bad this is.
This aged well
Yes, please do a show about Bubonic Plague in Europe Joe. The impact of it, the fear it caused, the emptying of the fields, the rise of Italian city states, and its relationship to agriculture, industry and science is relatively unknown, but profound. Perhaps its history may speak to the predicament we're in now.

the 6 worst plagues in human history
As a fun note, Yersinia Pestis is still present in rodents in several places in the world. Some you wouldn't expect. At the Grand Canyon there are signs warning that the local squirrel population carries it. Which is particularly problematic because that species of squirrel is very gregarious and is not afraid to approach and even climb on park visitors with regularity. And yeah, I know it's not the rodents, but the fleas that are the problem. But that's one tick closer than I want to get to the plague, thankyouverymuch.
It's also endemic in prairie dogs. I think they're very cute but I am OK with not touching them ever.
Am I the only one that got this in my recommendation after the nCov breakout ??

Fun fact, my mother's friend at school (late 1950s) survived the bubonic plague. She lived in an old Tudor house made with wattle and daub which had been bulked out with horse hair. When they were having some building work done, she wasn't given a mask, and breathed in the dust - that horse hair still had plague microbes on it from many centuries past and she nearly died. She's thankfully now happily retired with grandchildren, but yersinia pestis sure tried its best to change that timeline.
