I understand it was not a direct comparison, but I do understand the subtleties of writing and inference (English 27 ACT). You knew what you were doing. You were trying to give weight to the seriousness of the corona virus by placing it in the same sentence as the black death.
NO, I was not trying to do that. What I quite plainly meant was that people were doing the same thing in a much worse situation. What did you make on reading comprehension? I made a 32.

He's right. You should have used another example. This is along the same lines of your op though. He sees Bubonic Plague and literally - it seems - didn't read the rest of what you wrote, just to dismiss everything you said.

Too heavy, man. Too heavy.

But then again, he would have said that about anything you referenced. Whether it was Black Plague, Spanish Flu or any of the Asian Flues that popped up over the last century.
