Black Death 'plague epidemic
Plague epidemics, which are also described as "black death", are at the top of the deadliest epidemics in human history. The plague epidemics in history broke out on different dates with names such as Athens, Antoninus, Cyprus, and Justinian, and caused the deaths of millions of people. One of the largest plague outbreaks was the Black Plague Outbreak, which was estimated to have killed between 75 and 100 million people. The plague epidemic, which caused great devastation in Europe between 1347 and 1351, started in the south west of Asia and reached Europe in the late 1340s. The epidemic was thought to be caused by the bacterium Yersina pestis.

The Spanish flu, also known as the 1918 influenza pandemic, was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic caused by the H1N1 influenza A virus. Lasting from February 1918 to April 1920, it infected 500 million people – about a third of the world's population at the time – in four successive waves. The death toll is typically estimated to have been somewhere between 20 million to a possible high of 100 million, making it one of the deadliest pandemics in human history.

The Spanish Flu took place between 1918 and 1920. It mainly affected people from 20 to 40 years old. It was transmitted through the saliva when sneezing or coughing, like Covid-19. The symptoms were high fever, ear ache, fatigue, diarrhoea and vomiting. Researchers believe that it started in Fort Riley, Kansas, in the United States. It spread all over the world because of World War 1. Over 50 million people died. They closed schools and started using face masks. In April 1920 the virus lost strength and the pandemic disappeared.

SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) Outbreak: It is a respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus (SARS-cov). It is transmitted from person to person by mouth and nasal secretions. High fever, chills, muscle pain, headache, shortness of breath, fatigue, dry cough are symptoms of the epidemic. Close contact (patient care, living with the patient, respiratory secretions of the suspected case and direct contact with body fluids) is important in transmission. Therefore, patient staff and patient relatives were at primary risk. The epidemic started in Hong Kong between November 2002 and June 2003. During the SARS epidemic, there were 8,098 cases and 774 deaths worldwide. The epidemic, which spread to thirty-seven countries, affected 50% of those aged 65 and over.

The Justinian Plague Outbreak (541 - 542, recurring until 750) is a pandemic that affected the Byzantine (Eastern Roman) Empire and especially its capital, Constantinople, as well as the Sassanid Empire and port cities all over the Mediterranean, as merchant ships harbored rats carrying fleas infected with the plague. Some historians believe that the Justinian Plague Outbreak was one of the deadliest epidemics in history, which was renewed over two centuries, causing an estimated 25-100 million deaths; At the time of the first epidemic, there was a mortality rate equivalent to half of the European population. The social and cultural impact of the plague is compared to the Black Death that devastated Eurasia in the 14th century, but research published in 2019 argues that the mortality and social effects of the plague are exaggerated.
