From Signs of the Times Magazine 8/3/1915----
"Current opinion says: "Europe has been, from a sanitary point of view, polluted. The danger of epidemic disease is described by an expert in the London Times as 'very actual'....This pestilence, if it comes, will bring as much suffering and death to the civilian population as to the army, and possibly more. What a terrible thing this war is! Yet it is not Armageddon...."
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Matthew 24:7,8

SPANISH FLU
From 1918-1920 the Spanish Flu
swept the world as a result of the Great War
It killed nearly 100 MILLION people and ranks as the
deadliest pestilence outbreak on record in world history.
The pandemic was blamed on WW1 due to weakened immune
systems of soldiers. World travel spread it.
The Spanish Flu was apparently a mutation of an avian virus-
the H1N1"swine"flu virus.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Von Economo Disease Outbreak
1915-1926
(Encephalitis Lethargica)
Began during the early years of the Great War
It was spread due to travel around the world
during WW1 and is thought to have been
a strain of the bird flu.
Since then there has been no known outbreaks.
