re: #257 Hecuba’s daughter

Let’s be fair — that is deceptive because there are more people living here than any time in American history. Deaths as a percentage of population would be more apples-to-apples comparison (sort of) but can still be misleading because it ignores the age distribution of population. I wonder what the statistics were like during the last great epidemic, which appeared to be a far more lethal disease.

I see zero reason to be fair.
