Top 7 Deadly Pandemics Of The Past You Must Know
An epidemic occurs when a
disease is transmitted worldwide. The recent coronavirus, Covid-1, is now
considered an epidemic. The deadly virus is affecting people all over the
world. It calls on countries to close their borders, call people to stay
indoors, and stop businesses from operating. However, this is not the first
time an epidemic has affected so many lives at once. In this list, we will
examine some of the deadly epidemics of the past.
Leprosy
Leprosy (aka "Hansen's The disease") is a slow-developing bacterial disease that can damage nerves,
skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Those suffering from this disease may
experience poor eyesight and muscle. Some patients may no longer feel pain,
resulting in partial damage to the pelvis. The disease has affected people for
thousands of years, but it became an epidemic in Europe in the Middle Ages. Since
they were considered unclean, infected people wore fixed clothing or a bell to
indicate their arrival. However, they were banned from going to many places. It
is believed that about 19,000 leprosies existed in Europe at this time. The
lepers, known as the "living dead," were linked to the sins and the
goods of the sick were declared legally dead by the seized civic leaders. There
are still about 200,000 leprosy cases a year, but it can now be cured with
medicines. However, some patients require ongoing treatment for complex
complications such as blindness and paralysis.

Russian Flu
Russian flu (aka
"Asiatic Flu") is a deadly influenza pandemic that killed nearly ten
million people worldwide. The outbreak began to spread in 1889, and it was the The 19th-largest epidemic of influenza. This was also the first true pandemic in
the bacteriology period প্রাথমিক Initial events were reported in Bukhara (Turkestan) in
Central Asia, Athabasca in northwestern Canada and Greenland. Within six months
the disease was infected in St. Petersburg, Russia. Just four months later,
influenza spread throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Rapid population growth in
urban areas around the world has helped create epidemics.
Cholera
The deadliest outbreak of the
seven cholera outbreaks was the third major epidemic that lasted from 12 to
1960. As with the first two epidemics, the third originated in India and spread
throughout Asia, Europe, North America and Africa. In 1854 (the worst year),
cholera killed 23,000 people in Great Britain. About 10,000 of them were
residents of London. About a million people died during the third cholera
epidemic. Many deaths were reported from Russia, Chicago, Tokyo, Spain,
Venezuela and Brazil. Contaminated water was thought to be the cause of
cholera. British physician John Snow investigated the case in London and
identified contaminated water as the cause of the infection. He searched the
water at the Broad Street pump and persuaded local officials to remove the
pump's handle. Although the volume of local cases has dropped dramatically
since his discovery, the numbers continue to increase for years in other parts
of the world.
Small Pox
For centuries, knots were in
danger in Europe, Asia, and Arabia. Three out of every 3 people died. The first
European explorers brought the virus to a new world, where people were not
immune to the disease. Modern-day Mexicans and Americans saw mortality rates
much higher than those in the Old World. Some outbreaks of puppies were
considered epidemic. Here, we will talk about the one that destroyed the Aztec
Empire in 1520. But overall, the spread of the disease worldwide has made it
epidemic. In North and South America, about 90% of the population took about
100 years to destroy the indigenous population. In Mexico, the population
dropped to about 11 million to one million people before the European conquest.
In the end, the deadly virus helped the Spanish conquer the Aztecs and the
Incas because their populations rarely existed because of the disease. Many
centuries later, the virus was the first viral epidemic to be stopped by a
vaccine. In the 5th, the World Health Organization announced that tuberculosis
had been eradicated worldwide.
Antonine Plague
One of the deadliest
epidemics in history is also the oldest. The Antonine Plague took place in
165-180 and ultimately took the lives of about five million people. After the
war with the Parthians, the Romans brought the disease back to their homes. The
disease started in Asia Minor and then spread to Greece and Italy. Over the
next two decades, the Roman Empire saw a catastrophe as they experienced the At
the peak of the outbreak, they were seeing nearly 2,000 casualties per day. It
was estimated that -1.5 percent of the entire Roman Empire died, with Emperor
Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Varius both dead during this period, with a high
percentage in the cube area. Many have speculated that they died of the
disease. Although the illness that these people have invaded is unknown, many
scholars believe that it was the outbreak of infectious diseases.
Asian flu
In the twentieth century, the
second major influenza pandemic was the 1957 Asian flu (such as the "Asian
flu pandemic"). The outbreak was responsible for the deaths of more than a
million people At the beginning of the Asian flu epidemic, the virus spread to
China and surrounding areas. Months later, the flu reached the United States
and spread widely to the United Kingdom. In the three months to the sixth year,
the United States estimated that approximately 100,000 deaths were linked to
Asian flu. Eventually, a vaccine was developed that helped contain the epidemic.
The Great Plague
As part of the Second
Pandemic Epidemic, the 1665 epidemic stopped all public entertainment and
sealed the sick in their homes to help prevent the spread of disease. In all,
London's population has dropped by about 15 per cent. Although an estimated
number of 1000,000 deaths were recorded in this city, the actual number is
believed to be more than 1 million W after the lifeless bodies were removed and
taken to the plague hole in a cart.
Black Death
One of the most devastating
epidemics in history was the Great Bubonic Plague in the mid-1300s (called
"Black Death"). A severe outbreak of bubonic plague began in China in
the 1330s. As the country is one of the busiest businesses, the disease spreads
rapidly elsewhere. By ১৩yy the Black Death reached Europe after several infected
ships sank in the Sicilian port of Messina. Just five years later, the plague
killed more than two billion people in Europe Black Black Death is widely
believed to be caused by Yersinia pestis bacteria. The disease is most commonly
spread in infected rats and humans from bites of infection. From there it was
highly contagious in humans, causing plague fever as well as swelling of the
lymph glands. The disease causes reddish spots on the skin that have turned
black, which is why people call it Black Death.
