The war of pandemic against humanity

Pandemic has always been a reoccurring event,it leaves this century and then comes back to hunt people in the following century,before we go into a brief history of it,it would be wise for us to have a clear picture of what we are facing is like.

Countless number of times,people have always been faced by the explanation of epidemic and pandemic,so here is a clear as crystal definition of both so as to be properly guided when the need to explain one extensively arises.

Epidemic could be defined as a widespread disease or disorder that affects many individuals in a population,that's to say it affects people who are confined in a particular or specific location where as Pandemic is defined as a widespread epidemic or disease over a wide geographic area and affecting a larger amount or proportion of the population. Now let's dive into some of the pandemics that left a scar on the face of the world before eventually leaving to wait for some time to return. On our list we have the first as the 1918 fluid pandemic popularly called the spanish fluid which infected 500milion people about a third of the world's population at that time in a successive four waves attack. This Pandemic last for about a year and few months,it started in February in the year 1918 and ended in April of the following year.Spanush flu really dealt with the world,so many dead bodies litered the streets and shallow grave was the other of the day then.Though some scientist had already argued about the deatlth of so many people who died that year not to have been killed by it citing the war which ended shortly before the pandemic which made the immune system of individuals then weak and also there were not drugs in circulation or shortage of drugs in circulation as the world just started to heal from the devasting effect the war had on people then. Most pandemic outbreak normally affect the very old and the infant young,but the spanish flu did the reverse,it went on a killing spree , killing young adults and at the end of the pandemic,it's on records that more infant young people were kids by it when compared to the very old amongst them.Some analyses have shown the virus to be particularly deadly because it triggers a cytokine storm.whuch ravages the stronger immune system of young adults.They spanish flu was the first of the two pandemics caused by H1N1 jnfluiA virus and the second was the 2009 swine flu pandemic.

Coronavirus was and still is a case of another global pandemic though not as deadly as those before it,most of this pandemics is mostly carried or infected to humans by animals due to their coronavirus came in when the world least expected,we were largely unprepared for it though some prominent people had already warned that such could happen or take place such as bill gates who through thier family's outreach center"bill and the melinda"gate laid some much emphasis on it.He was of the opinion that nation's of the world should stop investing in weapons of canal welfare but should invest massively in research as to know and get prepared incase anything pandemic was to take place.So many European countries such as spain,italy, England and so many others were and are still at the receiving ends of this Though African countries are lucky it is not having a field day here but they should have atleast made use of this ample opportunity to go into research inorder to get the reason behind their low mortality rate.Some of the countries in the European continent are still trying to impose yet another lockdown where as africa has moved on from it.Africa instead of working tremendously to see if it could get a cure to this have folded it's her in anticipation that the white man would come up with the cure someday which the country russia are already making progress at.Black man's mentality was really revealed during the lock down era in Nigeria as most of the palliative people gave even those from the western world who were at the receiving end of it were all stocked up by the government.Dea africa let's go back to the board and try to correct where the mistakes started from.
