Unless you're living in basement, there have been pandemics from 1000s of years ago, and most are Colored in origin!


A LIST OF SOME OF THE PLAGUES AND PANDEMICS ORIGINATNG FROM CHINA AND EAST ASIA from 5000 years ago.


Hamin Mangha Plague - 3000BC - [oldest known human plague epidemic]

About 5,000 years ago, an epidemic wiped out a prehistoric village in China. The bodies of the dead were stuffed inside a house that was later burned down. No age group was spared, as the skeletons of juveniles, young adults and middle-age people were found inside the house. The archaeological site is now called "Hamin Mangha" and is one of the best-preserved prehistoric sites in northeastern China. Archaeological and anthropological study indicates that the epidemic happened quickly enough that there was no time for proper burials, and the site was not inhabited again. Before the discovery of Hamin Mangha, another prehistoric mass burial that dates to roughly the same time period was found at a site called Miaozigou, in northeastern China. Together, these discoveries suggest that an epidemic ravaged the entire region.




The Black Death - 13th-14th centuries

It was the most fatal pandemic recorded in human history, resulting in the deaths of up to 75–200 million people in Eurasia and North Africa, peaking in Europe from 1347 to 1351. Plague, the disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, is believed to have been the cause; Y. pestis infection can cause septicaemic and pneumonic plagues but most commonly results in bubonic plague. The Black Death originated in China and East Asia, from where it travelled along the Silk Road, reaching Europe by 1347. In total, the plague may have reduced the world population from an estimated 475 million to 350–375 million in the 14th century. It took 200 years for Europe's population to recover to its previous level. Outbreaks of the plague recurred at various locations around the world until the early 20th century.



Third plague pandemic - 1855

The third plague pandemic was a major bubonic plague pandemic that began in Yunnan, China, in 1855 during the fifth year of the Xianfeng Emperor of the Qing dynasty. This episode of bubonic plague spread to all inhabited continents, and ultimately led to more than 12 million deaths



The Great Manchurian Plague - 1911

In 1911, a deadly epidemic spread through China and threatened to become a pandemic. Its origins appeared to be related to the trade in wild animals like marmots, but at the time no one was sure. Yet more than 60,000 people died in modern-day northeast China, making it one of the world's largest epidemics at the time. The Great Manchurian Plague that broke out across northeastern China in 1910 was devastating. From the autumn of 1910, until the outbreak was finally suppressed the following year, an estimated 63,000 people died.



Spanish Flu Pandemic - 1918

1918 Flu Pandemic That Killed 50 Million Originated in China according to historians. An estimated 500 million people fell victim to Spanish Flu. Despite the name Spanish Flu, the disease did not start in Spain, but in China. Spain was a neutral nation during the war and did not enforce strict censorship of its press, which could therefore freely publish early accounts of the illness. As a result, people falsely believed the illness was specific to Spain, and the name Spanish Flu stuck. Historians says that records now confirm. that the mobilization of 96,000 Chinese laborers to work behind the British and French lines on World War I's Western Front - was the source of the pandemic.



The Asian Flu - 1957-1958

The pandemic was a global episode of an influenza type virus. With its roots in China, the disease claimed more than 1 million lives. The virus that caused the pandemic was a blend of avian flu viruses. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that the disease spread rapidly and was reported in Singapore in February 1957, Hong Kong in April 1957, and the coastal cities of the United States in the summer of 1957. The total death toll was more than 1.1 million worldwide, with 116,000 deaths occurring in the United States.



The Hong Kong Flu - 1968

A category 2 Flu pandemic sometimes referred to as “the Hong Kong Flu,” the 1968 flu pandemic was caused by the H3N2 strain of the Influenza A virus, a genetic offshoot of the H2N2 subtype. It is thought to have origanted in Hong Kong or China. It took only 17 days before outbreaks of the virus were reported in Singapore and Vietnam, and within three months had spread to The Philippines, Australia, Europe, and the United States. While the 1968 pandemic had a comparatively low mortality rate (.5%) it still resulted in the deaths of more than a million people, including 500,000 residents of Hong Kong, approximately 15% of its population at the time.



SARS - 2003

Identified in 2003, the SARS - severe acute respiratory syndrome - coronavirus is believed to have originated from bats and later passed on to other animals such as civet cats. The first report of humans infected with the virus was in Guangdong province of southern China in 2002, according to reports. From November 2002 through July 2003, a total of 8,098 people worldwide became sick with SARS that was accompanied by either pneumonia or respiratory distress syndrome.



Covid-19 - 2019

COVID-19 is the name given to the disease associated with the virus SARS-CoV-2. Is a new strain of coronavirus that has not been previously identified in humans. Coronaviruses are viruses that circulate among animals with some of them also known to infect humans. Bats are considered natural hosts of these viruses yet several other species of animals are also known to act as sources. It originated in the city of Wuhan, China from a reservoir of cave bats. And throught to have been transmitted to humans via the wet markets, or through lab experiments.
