#2 – A Deadly Epidemic

It killed millions of people and significantly reduced the global population. What’s more, it continued to cause outbreaks up until the 19th century. As humanity continues to discover antibiotic-resistant diseases and live in closer quarters, it becomes more and more likely that a pandemic will be what ends civilisation as we know it.
