The Black Death Was Widely Exaggerated, Andrew Bolt Says – The Shovel
Sky News commentator Andrew Bolt says the bubonic plague has been blown out of proportion.
The controversial commentator said the governments of the Middle Ages were reckless in shutting down their economies when only a third of the population died.
“It was a massive over-reaction. All of those stories at the time that said ‘Fears that the plague could kill 50% of the total population’, when in fact it was much lower – more like 30%. What a beat up,” Bolt said.
“The whole thing was devastating. Getting people to shut up their houses, stopping trade and shutting down shops. People were basically prisoners in their own homes. A lot of people lost their jobs. It totally changed society. It definitely killed the economy”.
He said modern governments tackling coronavirus could learn from the mistakes of those in the Middle Ages by doing much less to stop the spread of the disease.
“If those governments back then hadn’t overreacted in shutting everything down, think how much stronger the economies of Europe would be right now”.
Politics and the pandemic: COVID-19 could cause an outbreak of socialism

Donald Trump’s repeated description of the coronavirus as the “Chinese virus” -- both during news conferences and on Twitter -- unleashed an epidemic of hate and violence against Asian Americans. Not only are Chinese-Americans facing discrimination, but “other Asian Americans — with families from Korea, Vietnam, the Philippines, Myanmar and other places — are facing threats, too, lumped together with Chinese-Americans by a bigotry that does not know the difference,” The New York Times’ Sabrina Tavernise and Richard A. Oppel Jr. recently reported.
In the past few weeks alone, The online reporting forum Stop AAPI Hate has received more than 650 direct reports of discrimination against primarily Asian Americans.

FAKE NEWS
VIRUS SHOWS WE'RE A SITTING DUCK FOR BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS
The coronavirus has paralysed economies around the world.
This virus shows how prone we are to a biological weapons attack, and
Peter Jennings warns: China will be watching.
Bolt goes on to tell us "China is watching" " the walls have ears" and that our reactions gives them ideas and encourages weaponising. Don't ever give a Chinaman an idea Marx did and look what happened they saved a nation from starvation. We should react as if we don't know anything about a virus and only the worst of the Chinese. He sounds like Pauline over 20 years ago.
News Corps 60 local papers have closed due to the "no advertisers disease". Get back to work theres no Pandemic in Australia cries Bolt.
CORONAVIRUS BULLIES: NOW FISHING AND HUNTING BANNED, TOO
How on earth would you infect anyone by sitting in a tinny,
catching fish? This is another absurd overreach by the same Victorian officials who tried to ban couples from meeting: "Fishing, hunting,
boating, camping, and golf among other sports and hobbies will not be allowed during the pandemic... If we don’t do this, Victorians will
die." Bull.
DISHONEST ABC MUST CORRECT PELL FALSEHOOD
The ABC still hasn't corrected this falsehood: "Two new
accusers say George Pell abused them." The truth: these accusers aren't
"new". The allegations of one collapsed at a committal hearing. The
allegations of the other were deemed too weak to go to trial. Why has the ABC chosen now to pretend Pell faces "new" claims? This is shamefully dishonest.
TELL US CALM FACTS: PEOPLE ARE RECOVERING AND LATEST DEAD HAD CANCER
Is reassuring data being withheld to scare us into compliance? Yesterday the Victorian Government announced the death from the virus of a woman unusually young - "in her 60s" - without initially saying she had cancer. Other states don't release daily counts of those who have recovered - which in Victoria show a fall in the number of those now sick.
WE'RE IN A DANGEROUS PLACE, WHERE BULLYING IS FOR 'OUR OWN GOOD'
Alone, in the country, fined as a coronavirus health hazard: "A... woman was fined in Moree after failing to give a
reasonable excuse for being out." CS Lewis was right: "A tyranny
sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most
oppressive... for they [torment us] with the approval of their own
conscience.”
