Interesting Facts In Easy English: The Spanish Flu Did Not Originate In Spain
Discussion Question: Do you think a pandemic of this size will happen again? If yes, how will it be different? If no, why not?
For certain, we'll have another pandemic in the future, once the viruses are always in often evolution whereas the science is a step behind , trying to beat them.
I believe the difference in the next generation of viruses that we will face hereafter are the dimensions and seriousness.
Maybe, the chicken flu can be a bottom line for a massive planetary disease, because the disease is not completely ruled out by scientific community yet, and the causing agent is strenghtening more and more, as we see in TV news .
Adding to that, we are living in the globalisation era, which facilitates the dissemination of any disease very fast. Just a simple tourist that leaves from one spot to another, and soon, we could have a worlwide scale contamination starting.
I think the most dangerous factors for a new pandemic it will be the speed of its spreading, because of the quantity of peoples and their unstoppable fluxes in a context of global economy.
