History repeating today: black plague from China spreads to Italy and European continent

The infamous black plague responsible for the death of approximately 1/2 of the entire world population began in China (specifically the Gobi Desert) in approximately 1328-1330AD. From this origin in China, it spread pretty slowly until it reached and ravaged Italy in the 1340s, and then of course it spread throughout Europe decimating the world's population (not only in the 1340s but also in the many years that followed).

These original years of the black plague's beginning(circa 1328AD) were very unique because Catholicism reached its pinnacle of decadence at that time, prompting revolt by the people. In particular, in this year (1328) the black plague became pandemic, which changed the world – in only a ‘little time’ the plague brought the church and the world into a state of both chaos and genocide.

Note: the black plague didn’t travel strongly in the wilderness (compare populated cities of Europe), so the wilderness provided natural protection.
