The world has evolved a lot in the past few years and as a result, it can be said that human have become much more exposed to the outside world. Now if there is any kind of pandemic then surely the world will be affected more than the flu pandemic in 1918. In fact, this has been proven correct at the beginning of this year when people starting dying due to Coronavirus attack. During the 1918 pandemic almost 50 million people died all over the world but the official announcement said only 21 million which was understated. There was a try to hide the actual death count to stop spread panic and the inefficiency of the healthcare systems.
