Years ago now, World of Warcraft had an event that changed the landscape of the ENTIRE game for the players. Hundreds of thousands of skeletons littered the cities, all player characters who had perished to what was called the “corrupted blood plague”. Now, some experts are saying that they could have used this event to better understand how viral pandemics spread in societies and how individuals react. What I want to know is, could this historic WoW moment have helped prevent the spread of our current pandemic? Let’s find out!

not ture staying home and waring a mask ruins your amune system
Hi mouse Pat

2023 the theory wheal is complete covid is not dangerous
Griefers suck slightly less than COVID. I'd know.
Man I miss that opening intro it’s not in the videos any more. I really miss it and I also kinda miss Covid. I got to stay home for like five months. I didn’t have to go to school I think I’m going to make the opening intro my ringtone
THIS VIDEO IS OLD. 2 YEARS OLD. AND COVID WAS AROUND THEN??? HOW TF HAS COVID GONE SO LONG

I guess my question is why would they let npcs get it?
12:08 nah ill call you ratpat
they used to call me “the bringer of the corrupted”
I hope with 4 million views, this video broke even.

Man Covid ain’t even a thing no more 💀
Lol corona virus video. Yeah it didn't change my life at all besides that I didn't go to real school
You forget about herd immunity
I once got Covid and this was after the pandemic started dying out like in the summer of 2022. I literally spent 2 YEARS trying not to get and yet I still got
Bro really said it should kill it in weeks💀
I haven’t watched it yet but HEHE I get to go to a medieval fair! And I’m gonna dress as a plague doctor!
You Humans are Idiots, We Trolls in the mountains have avoided the Covid by staying within our caves
I think I’m an asymptomatic carrier with COVID like Idk about the rest of my family but I felt better and more energized when so had it
Saltines have electrolytes have some after working out
