Oh come on. What, you think I'm as stupid as common website sycophanats or spend my time half whacked on weed? The definition was "human population", not some slightly larger than normal contagion.
"The Black Death (roughly 1347–1352) caused a massive decrease in human population, killing an estimated 30% to 50% of Europe's population. Global population plummeted from around 470 million to 370 million by 1400, marking the largest demographic shock and the only significant, direct reduction in global population since A.D. 1000😌"
Covid was the global equivalent of a sneeze.
