- noduerme 1y agoHistorians attribute the decline of the Roman Empire to lead in the water, but that doesn't make it a pandemic, it's something else. The Plague of Justinian was a pandemic. I'm arguing that it serves no purpose to conflate terms describing endemic social problems with those describing acute disease. In this case, language is important, and frequently weaponized.
