Answer:
The history of the Black Plague serves to project the environmental and economic consequences of the current coronavirus pandemic, given the similarities between both historical events.
Thus, the Black Plague implied, like the current pandemic, an almost total cessation of economic activities at the global level, causing a consequent increase in poverty rates, with the consequent decrease in the population's standard of living.
But, on the other hand, the decrease in production during the Plague had beneficial effects for the environment, since it decreased the increasing rates of environmental pollution at that time. In this sense, a similar situation is being experienced in the present, since restrictions on certain activities and circulation in general have slowed down the already advanced global pollution process.
