Comparing the 1500s and Now

This year 2021 seems so very hard with covid and all its limited implications but it's worth comparing centuries before five hundred years before was no celebration In comparing all these 500 years ago when it was a world so different from today this was what Europe then was like even U.S. hadn't been brought into play During the 1500s there were no basics no sewer system, central heating, water supply refrigeration, antibiotics, penicillin or surgery in our day not having these we would die As well as no water heater or water also, ballpoint pen, typewriter, pc was none it beggars belief what life was like life was harsh certainly not much fun People in that day would've been so poor struggling would have been a daily chore so be thankful we're not still back then despite covid we're still able to roar!
