Europe lost more than three-quarters of its people to the Black Death \u2014 arguably the worst catastrophe in recorded history. It killed 50-60 million Europeans; the population fell from 80 million to 30 million; that's a 60 percent kill rate. Princes and clergy, farmers and serfs were all stricken. Globally, the Black Death ravaged Europe, Africa, and Asia, exterminating between 75 and 200 million. Think Monty Python and the Holy Grail's, \u201c\u2026 bring out your dead, bring out your dead,\" and you get the picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Black Death is still around. Consequently, an outbreak in Surat, India, in the 1990s and the 2013 death of a farmer in Kyrgyzstan caused quite the stir. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Spanish Flu struck vengefully and rapidly in 1918, killing between 20 and 50 million. Variously referred to as La Grippe, the Spanish Flu\u2014or simply the 1918 Flu\u2014it was a worldwide cataclysm of staggering proportions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nearly 700,000 American\u2019s died \u2014 10 times more than perished on the battlefields of Europe. More than half of the U.S. servicemen killed in WWI succumbed to La Grippe. Meanwhile, more than one quarter of the U.S. population and one-fifth of the global populace were infected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The \u201cAsian Flu,\u201d or H2N2, killed more than two million people globally. In February 1957 it surged out of Guizhou, China, (a recurring theme?<\/a>) into Singapore, skipped to Hong Kong, and hit the U.S. in June \u201857. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Asian flu killed 70,000 people in the U.S. in just two years. Globally, the WHO estimates two million deaths, a figure considered conservative, with four million as the recognized number. The Asian flu spread by groups, citing college campuses. Now is a good time to give a shout out to spring breakers of 2020<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n This isn't one of the most deadly virus outbreaks, but still. Reflect on the dystopian movie \"12 Monkeys,\" set in post-apocalyptic Philly in 2035, where humanity is wiped out by a virus. Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis were there, sharing advice to live by: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Coles: \u201cLook at them. They\u2019re just asking for it. Maybe the human race deserves to be wiped out.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Goines: \u201cWiping out the human race? That's a great idea. That's great, but more of a long-term thing. I mean, first we have to focus on more immediate goals\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Follow the author, Greg Keeley, on Instagram: @GregOnDuty<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that you know about pandemics from our past, learn the facts on our sister sister site <\/i>BallisticMag.com<\/a>.
