At first, the epidemic mainly occurred in China, and there were only a few foreign countries. However, the domestic epidemic situation was controlled in the later period, and the epidemic situation abroad, especially in the United States, was more serious. So far, the number of patients and children in the United States has been rising, which has also caused people to panic. In the United States, there have been many riots, such as robbing shopping malls and luxury stores.
The COVID-19 epidemic can also be regarded as a large-scale infectious disease. Before that, there were two super-large infectious diseases in human history, so what was the situation at that time?
First, the great plague in medieval Europe
During the Middle Ages in Europe, there was a great plague, which spread from Central Asia to Europe. At that time, the Mongols attacked Kafa City. In order to win the war, the Mongols threw the bodies with germs into Kafa. Slowly, the residents of Kafa City began to get sick.
1347, a ship from Kafa appeared in the port of Sicily in southern Italy, and soon, a plague occurred. The patient will have a lump, vomit and even cough and bleed, and will die in a few days.
The local people were very angry and kicked the boat out of Kafa. Ships wandered around and visited many cities, which also spread the plague to the whole of Europe. In just a few years, this plague claimed the lives of 25 million Europeans, which is a huge number.
This is also a catastrophe in human history and has also impacted European civilization. It was not until the end of 19 that people knew it was the Black Death, but the damage was irreparable.
Second, the Spanish flu
The Spanish flu did not mean that it broke out in Spain, but that there were 8 million people infected with the flu in Spain at that time, and the number was really large. There are no epidemic reports in other countries, but there are in Spain, so it is called Spanish flu.
The Spanish flu broke out in 19 18, but it suddenly disappeared in 1920, which was also surprising. According to statistics at that time, the Spanish flu killed 20 million to 40 million people, but because of this flu, World War I was forced to stop.
Spanish flu is not only highly contagious, but also has a high mortality rate. And the medical conditions were not very good at that time. Once some villages are infected with Spanish flu, they will become "dead villages".
This Spanish flu is also a global infection. Every corner of the world is infected with Spanish flu except people in Malano Island.
We have more professional and advanced medical treatment for the COVID-19 epidemic, and I believe that COVID-19 will be eliminated soon.
