Covid-19 started in Wuhan China in December 2019.
Second, there is the Spanish flu, a pandemic of 1918, the deadliest in history, which infected an estimated 500 million people worldwide, about one-third of the planet’s population. The 1918 flu affected Europe first then the United States and parts of Asia before spreading around the world. A person who touches something with the virus on it and then touches his or her mouth, eyes or nose can become infected.
A devastating second wave of the Spanish Flu hit American shores in the summer of 1918, as returning soldiers infected with the disease spread it to the general population, especially in crowded cities.
