Why are we acting like this pandemic is the worst thing to happen when it is very minor compared with the black bubonic plague and neumomic plagues?

When looking at how people are acting now with this pandemic imagine how they would react in the 14th century and 1900s during the Spanish flu that's much worse compared with the pandemic happening now and yet people are acting like this is the worst thing that happened more than centuries ago and this pandemic is very mild and minor compared with what happened more than centuries ago but yet the black bubonic plague or the black death people today complaining about how bad covid 19 is imagine that multiplied by the amount of what the black bubonic plague is you wouldn't be complaining about that now would you.
