Every hundred years, there seems to be a great pandemic, Bubonic plague 1620, plague 1720, cholera epidemic 1820 and Spanish flu 1920.
The pandemics mentioned above seem to follow the same pattern as the current viral epidemic.
But history has really repeated itself. Below, I will write a bit about the history of these pandemics:
The year 1620:
Bubonic Plague
The Black Death was an epidemic of bubonic plague, a disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis that circulates among wild rodents where they live in great numbers and density.
The year 1720:
In 1720, there was the last large-scale bubonic plague pandemic, also called the great plague of Marseille . Records show that the bacteria killed around 100,000 people in Marseille.
It is assumed that the bacteria are spread by flies infected with this bacteria.
The year 1820:
The first records of a cholera pandemic took place in 1820, which took place in Asia, in the countries of Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines. In 1820, more than 100,000 deaths were recorded in Asia due to this bacterium. The pandemic is said to have started with people who drank water from lakes contaminated with this bacteria.
The year 1920:
The Spanish flu occurred 100 years ago, at the time people were struggling with the H1N1 flu virus which had undergone a genetic mutation, which made it much more dangerous than the virus normal. This virus infected 500 million people and killed more than 100 million people in the world, this pandemic was the deadliest in history.
The year 2020:
It seems like history repeats itself every 100 years, is it just a coincidence?
