Despite tremendous advances in medical knowledge and technology over the past several decades, nature still has the upper hand. Pandemics, although not as common as they once were, still occur across the globe, even in developed nations such as the United States. AlertFind Emergency Notification System created this infographic titled, “Deadliest Pandemics of This Century.” It first addresses the probability of another pandemic occurring within our lifetimes and the havoc it could wreak. The detailed infographic then lists the most devastating pandemics of the past 100 years, naming each along with its death toll. To make the impact clearer, it also compares the death toll to the population of U.S. states. Next, it discusses predictions for the next pandemic. Finally, you’ll find information on what causes a pandemic to spread and what you can do to help prevent it.
