Caused more than 100,000 deaths in the U.S., and 1 million globally. A significant amount of xenophobia also arose with this outbreak, as seen by a U.S. billboard that read "Hong Kong Flu is Un-American. Catch Something Made in the USA."]]> 2020-10-28 17:46:40 UTC https://padlet.com/adoughe3/fe53tf6redybam3f/wish/870733517 adoughe3 https://padlet.com/adoughe3/fe53tf6redybam3f/wish/870735835 HIV/AIDS -

Killed 11,300 people between 2014 and 2016, and crossed borders between Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.

However, these Westernized countries were more than willing to become involved with pandemic response during COVID, when they began to be affected. ]]> 2020-10-28 17:48:15 UTC https://padlet.com/adoughe3/fe53tf6redybam3f/wish/870740670 adoughe3 https://padlet.com/adoughe3/fe53tf6redybam3f/wish/870741824 MERS -
