Description: Thoughout history there've been many global pandemics that were far worse than the coronavirus. The black death, spanish flu, and a few others come to mind! Bet you didn't know all of them! Subscribe to our channel: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-Brainiac “These are unprecedented times”. It seems like EVERYONE is saying this these days, but is it true? Have we TRULY never lived through a time like this? Have we TRULY never experienced a pandemic like this? Well, Brainiacs, it’s both good news and bad news that we report to you that we HAVE lived through pandemics throughout human history. AND if you could believe it, the human race has survived WORSE. Sure, everybody is SO tuned into our current situation, but hold onto your hats, because you’re about to be an EXPERT on the human history of pandemics. Sure, none of it is going to be pretty, it may not even be the most appropriate dinner conversation, BUT it’s bound to tap into the interest of your friends and family over the next FaceTime or Zoom conference call. Plus, we’re going to set the record straight on exactly what is the difference between an epidemic and a pandemic. All of that, and more in today’s video, Brainiacs.
