Abstract

Within the great dramas of the human species are two tragic pandemics coated piping for their unfortunate consequences. First is the most destructive pandemic in history of Europe: bubonic-plague or "Black Death'', as it is also called, which struck the Old Continent between 1348 and 1361 and was not eliminated until a 300 years after. Second is the deadliest epidemic in recent centuries, the so-called "Spanish flu" that erupted in the spring of 1918, affected much of the world and led to the tomb about 40 million people.
