The biggest Pandemic's of Remembrance
#Year: 2019~Present
Infectious diseases also arise as humans migrate across the world. Although in today's world, there are almost regular outbreaks while each outbreak does not exceed the pandemic stage of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
The latest visual explanation of the Antonine plague to the present COVID-19 outbreak is one of the most lethal pandemics in all history. The coronavirus pandemic 2019–20 is a continuing 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) respiratory syndrome.
In December 2019, it began in the province of Wuhan, Hubei, China. On 30 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak an International Public Health Emergency and identified the outbreak as a pandemic on 11 March 2020.
So What are the symptoms of #COVID19 ?
People may be sick with the virus for 1 to 14 days before developing symptoms. The most common symptoms of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) are fever, tiredness, and dry cough. Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing special treatment. More rarely, the disease can be serious and even fatal. Older people, and people with other medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease), may be more vulnerable to becoming severely ill. People may experience:
- cough
- fever
- tiredness
- difficulty breathing (severe cases)
And How can you be safe from #COVID19 ?
You can protect yourself and help prevent spreading the virus to others if you:
- Wash your hands regularly for 20 seconds, with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rub
- Cover your nose and mouth with a disposable tissue or flexed elbow when you cough or sneeze
- Avoid close contact (1 meter or 3 feet) with people who are unwell
- Stay home and self-isolate from others in the household if you feel unwell
#Don't
- Touch your eyes, nose, or mouth if your hands are not clean
#Year: 1918~1920
The Greatest Epidemic of Remembrance. About 500 million people were affected by the epidemic, out of which 17 to 50 million people were put to death (according to many, the death toll is even higher which is almost 100 million).
Do you know why, how and what caused that epidemic?
The name "Spanish flu" is a type of influenza that spreads to other countries, including Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States on January 1918. The Spanish flu epidemic were deadly for young adults. Scientists provide several possible explanations for the high mortality rate of the 1918 influenza epidemic. Some analyzes have shown the virus to be particularly deadly because it triggers a cytokine storm, which harms young adults' strong immune systems, in contrast, a medical journal analysis from the epidemic showed that viral infection was no more aggressive than previous influenza strain. Instead, malnutrition, overcrowded medical camps and hospitals and poor hygiene promotes bacterial superinfection. This superinfection killed most of the victims, usually after a prolonged death bed.
#Year: 1346–1353
The Black Death, also known as the Pestilence, the Great Bubonic Plague, the Great Plague or the Plague, or less commonly the Great Mortality or the Black Plague, was the most devastating pandemic recorded in human history, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 75 to 200 million people in Eurasia, peaking in Europe from 1347 to 1351. The plague arrived in Europe in October 1347, when 12 ships from the Black Sea docked at the Sicilian port of Messina.
So, How Did The Black Plague Start & How Did The Black Death Spread?
Just before the "death ships" reached the port of Messina, many Europeans heard reports about a "massive pestilence," which struck a deadly road through Near and Far East trading routes. In reality, China, India, Persia, Syria and Egypt were struck by the disease early in the 1340s.
It is suspected that the plague originated in Asia more than 2000 years ago and was possibly spread through trade ships, while recent work has shown that the Black Death pathogen could have existed in Europe as early as 3000 B.C
Boccaccio wrote: "The mere touch on the clothing, seemed" to itself, to spread the disease to the touch, "Black Death was hideous and indiscriminately infectious. Those who were perfectly safe by night could be dead by morning when they went to bed.
