That remains me of a cartoon I once saw of two cavemen sitting around. One says:
"I don't get it. All our food is organic. We don't use any plastic or toxic chemicals. No drugs. We get exercise every day. And our life expectancy is still 35!"
There was a lot of awful shit in the premodern era, from plagues, to famines, diseases or body issues with no treatment, etc. We have it easy today.
Covid would have been a "bad year" in the premodern era. Not a global meltdown like we have seen.
