The Spanish Flu Epidemic

　　If you're worried about the possibility of acoming bird flu epidemic,you can take comfort in the fact that humanityhas survived a similar influenza epidemic in the past.Starting itsrounds at the end of World War I,the 1918 flu killed an estimated 50million people.

　　Popularly known as the Spanish Flu,this type ofinfluenza was far worse than your common cold.Normally,influenza onlykills those who are more vulnerable to disease,such as newborns,the oldor the sick.However,the Spanish Flu was prone to killing the young andhealthy.Often it would disable its victims in hours;within a day,theywould be dead,typically from extreme cases of pneumonia（肺炎）.

　　The Spanish Flu was quite nasty-fast-spreading anddeadly.It managed to spread across the globe,devastating the world.Thensuddenly,after two years ravaging（蹂躏）the Earth,it disappeared asquickly as it had arisen.

　　Despite its nickname,the Spanish Flu did notoriginate in Spain.Its true origins are unknown.Some believe it startedin US forts and then spread to Europe as America joined the war;othersthink that it populated the trenches of the English and the French andeventually broke out in 1918.Regardless of where it started,eventuallya fifth of the world population suffered the disease,with a globalmortality rate（死亡率）estimated at 2.5% of the population.

　　Modernity was partly to blame for the quick spreadof the disease.It passed throughout the world on trade routes andshipping lines.It hit Northern America,Europe,Asia,Africa and the SouthPacific.The war did not help at all-the movement of supplies and troopsaided the spread of the Spanish Flu,as well as the trenchwarfare.Imagine the speed at which a virus can spread in a crowdedditch.The fast emergence of the virus in the trenches caused somesoldiers to believe that the Spanish Flu was a new form of biologicalwarfare.

　　Luckily,the Spanish Flu simply vanished by 1920.It is believed the flu simply ran out of fuel to spread.

　　16.The Spanish Flu started during World War I.
