in Asia and spread quickly to Europe.Some hundred years later,the Great Flu epidemic broke out in 1918,also known as the Spanish Flu,killing 50 million people.This was considered the most serve epidemic in human history.The 1997 bird flu which claimed over 100 lives was an adaptation of the Great Flu of 1918.At the start of 21st century there were two major epidemics:SARS and EVD.The more
