END OF EPIDEMICS

End of Five Deadliest Epidemics

As human civilization progresses, infectious diseases continue to spread. In large numbers living close to one another and the animals, often lack of hygiene and nutrition helped spread the disease. And infections spread far beyond new routes of trade abroad, leading to the first global epidemic.

Today we will see how the world's five worst epidemics ended.

1.Plague of Justinian

The cause of three deadly pandemic diseases of recorded history were the same bacteria Yersinia pestis.It was a fatal infection known as plague.
Justinian plague came from Egypt across the Mediterranean, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, in 541 CE, the conquered land paid tribute to Emperor Justin. Plague-infected black mice that cause cerebral palsy.
The plague overthrew Constantinople and spread to Europe, Asia, North Africa and Arabia, killing perhaps 30 to 50 million people, perhaps half of the world's population.
"People had no cure for fighting this disease other than trying to avoid sick people," says Thomas Moukaitis, a professor of history at DePaul University. "Regarding the eradication of this plague, the best guess is that most people with the epidemic will survive those whose illnesses have the power or the strength to fight the disease.

2.Black Death

Not far away, the plague has not returned after 800 years. The Black Death, which targeted Europe in 1347, ended the amazing life of 200 million people in just four years. Mokites say there was no scientific thinking about methods of preventing disease and infectious disease, but They knew it had something to do with proximity. That is why in the Vietnamese-controlled coastal city of Ragusa, professional-minded officials decided to keep the new arrivals separate until they proved they were not sick.
Previously, they were kept on their ships for 30 days, known as Trentino in Vietnamese law. As time progressed, the Vietnamese increased the isolation of forced labor into 40 days or quarantine, the beginning of quarantine and the beginning of this process in the Western world.

3. Bubonic Plague Or The Great Plague Of London

After Black Death, London never really got a break. The plague outbreak averaged 40 times every 300 years from 1348 to 1665, every 20 years. And with each new plague epidemic, 20% of the men, women and children in the British capital were killed.

 By the early sixteenth century, England had implemented the first law to exclude the sick. Grasshoppers were tied with poles on the outside of plagued houses. If the people in your home were affected, you had to carry a white pool when you went out publicly. It is believed that the disease was found in cats and dogs, and millions of animals were killed.

 The great plague of 1665 was the last and worst event of the centuries-old epidemic, which killed 100,000 people in just seven months. To prevent the spread of the disease, all public entertainment was banned and the victims were forcibly locked in homes. The Red Cross was placed on their doorsteps with the request for forgiveness and the following words of apology were written: "Lord have mercy on us."
 Shutting down  the sick in homes and burying the dead in mass graves was considered the only solution to end plague outbreaks.
 4.Smallpox

The smallpox has been hunting Europe, Asia and the Arabs for centuries, a constant threat that killed three of its ten victims and left the rest with smallpox scars. But in the New World, the mortality in the Old World was much lower than the destruction in the local population, when the smallpox virus first came with European adventures in the 15th century.
In modern-day Mexico and the Americas, smallpox was not immune to smallpox, and it was killed by millions.
"Examples of what happened in the United States have not been found in all of human history," said Mokaites. "90 to 95 percent of the local population died in a century," "the Mexican population of 11 million people being 1 million."
Centuries later, smallpox became the first virus to be eradicated by a vaccine. At the end of the 18th century, a British doctor named Edward Jenner discovered that a mild virus infected with Cao Pox began to escape the measles. Jenner vaccinated her 9-year-old son with cowpox and then was transferred to the smallpox virus, which had no effect.
Jenner wrote in 1801, "The end of the most dangerous curse of the human race in the form of smallpox should be the final result of this process.
 It took another two centuries, but in 1980 the World Health Organization announced that the smallpox had been completely eradicated from the world.
5.Cholera
From the early nineteenth century to the middle, the cholera spread to England, killing tens of thousands. The then-scientific theory of the disease states that the disease is transmitted through dirty air called "Miasma". But a British doctor named John Snow suspected that the mysterious disease, which killed his victims within days of his symptoms, was the cause of drinking water in London.
John Snow researched hospital records like a scientific detective and investigated reports of dead cells to determine the exact locations of the casualties. It prepared a geographical chart of cholera deaths over a period of 10 days and found 500 pestilential diseases around Broad Street Pump, a well-known drinking water well.
Snow wrote, "As soon as I became aware of this cholera condition and its extent, I became suspicious of some contamination in the water associated with Broad Street's most frequent street pumps." Convicted local officials to remove the handle of a drinking pump on Broad Street, declared it unusable, and ended with a magic pandemic. As a result, efforts were made globally to improve urban hygiene and protect drinking water from pollution.
Although cholera has been largely eliminated in developed countries, it is the leading cause of death in third world countries where lack of access to clean drinking water and access to safe drinking water.
