Mmm yes that's why explorers and colonists famously never got sick with diseases from the "New World".

Just because Europe was so packed with people and animals together so much more viruses mutated into plagues doesn't mean other continents were immune to developing plagues. What is your point? You don't agree living close with animals increases the chance of mutations? Or are you in favor of exotic animals in cages? Or do you deny Europeans brought loads of diseases to the Americas? What are you trying to accomplish here? All these things I wrote are scientific and historical facts.

No they aren't. Black plague was spread by rats and most likely came from the silk road. You're talking about pop history, not actual history.
