Spanish flu and smallpox are examples of past viruses.  Spanish flu is an influenza

               virus that occurred in 1918, caused more than 50 million deaths. It's widely known

               that it might be caused by the migration of the flu virus from birds to pigs. Spanish

               media have dealt with the Spanish flu in depth hence even though Spain wasn’t

               the place for the outbreak, it is named as Spanish flu. The Spanish flu is largely

               divided into the first wave of the spring of 1918 and the second wave of the fall

               and winter. At the time of the second wave, the Spanish flu, which became more

               toxic, appeared. The Spanish flu killed one fifth of the world’s population, more

               than 50 million people, compared with about 15 million in World War I. The First

               World War was hastily concluded, and a peace treaty was signed. This taught us

               the need for transparency as well as the effectiveness of quarantines, leading us to

               the start of the flu vaccination culture. The symptom is a disease that develops into

               pneumonia after showing symptoms that appear to have a cold, and then turns

               black as oxygen escapes from the patient's skin. The Spanish flu virus is influenza

               A, the same type of flu that broke out in 2006. Like this, viruses can evolve and

               recur. Vaccines for the Spanish flu include Green Flu-S and Pandemrix. Green Flu-

               S is Korea's first self-developed and produced vaccine against swine flu.  Pandemrix

               is a vaccine developed to prevent influenza such as H1N1 and consists of active

               antigen extracted from H1N1 as well as antigen-enhancing agent AS03.



                Smallpox is a serious viral infection caused by the Variola virus. It is not yet known

               when  smallpox  began,  but  the  discovery  in  the  mummy  of  Egyptian  Pharaoh

               Ramesses V is believed to be the oldest physical evidence of smallpox. Smallpox

               killed  400,000  people  a  year  before  the  18th  century  in  Europe  alone,  and  80

               percent  of  children  died  if  infected.  Two  million  people  died  during  the  year.

               Vaccination between the 19th and 20th centuries greatly reduced the number of

               smallpox  infections,  and  the  WHO  declared  the  eradication  of  smallpox  in

               1979.Smallpox is the first infectious disease that has been eradicated by humans.

               The  initial  symptoms  are  fever,  muscle  pain,  anxiety,  headache,  exhaustion,  etc.

                                                                                                       61
