Reply to comment by RIP_Sinners in ELI5 Why Can't Modern Europeans treat this winter like medieval Europeans? by KgPathos
It's odd how some people don't get this. OP is basically asking, "Why can't modern people just accept a life expectancy of 40 years and an infant mortality rate of 300 death per 1000 births."
People back in the day were tough, but it's not like they were good at surviving. People have sucked at surviving right up until the 20th century.
