The global pandemic, the 1918 influenza (Spanish flu) which, like an evil whirlwind, ravaged Europe between January 1918 and December 1920, killed over 50 million people, with other sources quoting figures as high as 100 million. Just like Coronavirus which is currently on its dark visits to many countries, including Nigeria, the 1918 influenza originated from China, according to a report by National Geographic.
