    As a Southerner, y'all aren't even going to mention Yellow Fever? It's so contagious that if a grave was opened of someone who passed from it, then it could start a new outbreak. It decimated workers on the Panama Canal but was worse, I think, in the 1800's. Ready for a new Timeline series! Keep up the good work!

      I don't know why my comment earlier didn't go through. Yellow fever can't spread person to person directly. It definitely did cause devastating epidemics, but it's spread by mosquitoes, which would not bite a dead body.

    Always interesting... Although I expected to hear mention of Polio. As a child growing up in the 1950's, I remember everyone being in terror of contracting it.

    • @jbaker7311
      @jbaker7311 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Polio was a huge scare. I went to school with a girl that had contracted polio. She recovered but one leg was shorter than the other. She limped and many people don't realize the problems that can cause such as pain in the foot and leg, hip pain, weakness or numbness in the leg and feet and others.

      My Mom is from the last town in the US (Wytheville Virginia), to have a major Polio epidemic. The Summer and Fall of 1952, a few years before I was born. They were out of town and everyone stayed home except my Grandpa, he did the shopping and everything else and avoided crowded stores. No one in my family got it. My Dad's family took similar precautions and they avoided it but they often heard ambulances heading down country roads to mostly get people who had come down with Polio Mylitus

    Archeologists found a body that predates Jebus by about 20 years, and that person had Hansen's disease modern-day leprosy as well as tuberculosis. At that time, Jewish people practiced secondary burial , and they put the body in a tomb to let the flesh decompose then came back a year later and collected the bones in a bone box. This person's family and friends never came back more than likely they just left a warning in front of his rock cut tomb, letting everybody know this person had leprosy.

    Well known British cold/ sore throat remedy...hot lemon juice with glycerine and honey, Manuka is the best, because of its anti bacterial properties.
    My personal favourite for a badly blocked nose, if menthol fails, try eating something spicy, you won't feel the full force of the spicy food, but it will start to unblock your nose. Hot Indian food, chillis and hot snacks, are a good thing to try. You will still need to cool your mouth down afterwards, even though it may not have its usual tingle, but your nose should start unblocking.

The Swine Flu of 2009 started in Utah and many animal diseases like avian flu start up here in the states every few years. None of this is to defend China, but simply to point out wherever animals and people are in close proximity you increase the chances of novel diseases springing up into the human population.

      Appropriate. We killed off the dodo, might as well do ourselves in as well.

    The first known outbreak of Spanish flu was in central Kansas in November 1917. Some of the remains found at Hurculanium & some other ancient sites showed telltale signs of syphilis. It was widespread in the Roman Empire. l Influenza & leprosy are on the list, but malaria, yellow fever, tuberculosis, & smallpox aren't?!

    Leprosy does NOT lead to loss of limbs. Repeated infections cause loss of bone, which results in the fingers and toes getting shorter but not falling off. The fingernails are even retained.
    The last outbreak of plague occurred in the late 1800’s, but wasn’t as bad as previous ones simply because sanitation and a somewhat clearer understanding of how it spread existed.
    The first confirmed cases of syphilis happened back in first century AD, long before 1494 and was discovered to have existed in Herculaneum and Pompeii.
    The Spanish flu is hardly the most deadly pandemic in history- that status belongs to the bubonic plague. Big difference between 75 million and 60 percent of an entire continent’s population.
    Great video but let’s get facts correct before making a video please.

    It actually originated in the South, most likely Tennessee

    H1n1 in all forms is the worst. I got it during the 2009 outbreak and I don’t wish that on anyone, worse than Covid for me and I was a teen still (and stronger and healthier 😂 at least I hope)
