PandemicDiseases are natural part of life on Earth. If there were no diseases, the population would grow tooquickly, and there would not be enough food or other resources. So in way, diseases are nature's way ofkeeping the Earth in balance. But sometimes they spread very quickly and kill large numbers of people. Forexample, in 1918, an outbreak of the flu spread across the world, killing over 25 million people in only sixmonths. Such terrible outbreaks of disease are called pandemics.Pandemics happen when disease changes in way that our bodies are not prepared to fight. In 1918, anew type of flu virus appeared. Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus, and so it spread veryquickly and killed large numbers of people. While there have been many different pandemic diseasesthroughout history, all of them have few things in common.First, all pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very easily. Second, while they may killmany people, they generally do not kill people very quickly. good example of this would be the Marburgvirus. The Marburg virus is an extremely infectious disease. In addition, it is deadly. About 70-80% of all thepeople who get the Marburg virus die from the disease. However, the Marburg virus has not become apandemic because most people die within three days of getting the disease. This means that the virus does nothave enough time to spread to large number of people. The flu virus of 1918, on the other hand, generallytook about week to ten days to kill its victims, so it had more time to spread.While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make them less common.
