WHATS UP DOC

So
Leprosy and smallpox 
Since Egyptian times
Are diseases spanning millennia 
Throughout the timeline

In the 14th century there was 
The black death plague 
30% of the world died 
In half a decade

In the 17th century
90% of Americas indigenous dead
Diseases from European travellers it's said

During the 15th to 18th century
Fevers everywhere 
30% of teens died in their beds

In the 19th century 
Cholera bacteria arrived
killing 10's of millions in India
Russia, China and Spain

In the 20th century HIV and cancer
Around the globe
Cancer causing 1 in 6 deaths
Aids over 130 million a year 

Now we have SARS 
Corona viruses from bats
These diseases are depressing 
It's been said I should cheer up :

But If I was a rabbit
Hopping in a field

I'd get shot!
