Why go through all that malarky when you can just get the numbers of some lottery wins?

Dont you think after more than two big wins someone would get suspicious?

I’m bringing sexy back
Them other boys don’t know how to act
I think you're special, what's behind your back?
So turn around and I'll pick up the slack.

Take 'em to the bridge

However it is widely accepted that the Plague refers to the Bubonic Plague, also the plague wasn't a single widespread outbreak, but hundreds of smaller localised outbreaks across Europe, Asia and the Mediterranean. Some may well have been Haemorrhagic fever, but as those outbreaks are relatively short and extremely localised it is doubtful that it alone could have travelled across such a vast area.

Smallpox would also explain the prevalence of the CCR5 protein in Europeans.

There were hundreds of unconnected extremely localised outbreaks spreading northwards through Europe over a couple of years? I think that's too coincidental.

I'd bring my future self back so we can be awesome together.

I didn't say unconnected. and it was spread over somewhat more than a couple of years. The Black Death was only one of many outbreaks between the 8th and 18th centuries.

Even if we limit ourselves to the black death, the commonly held belief is that it was bubonic plague and not haemorrhagic fever, and it was the haemorrhagic fever I was referring to being extremely localised due to it's quick mortality rate. Even today, most VHF burn out very quickly and don't travel well.
