It is likely to spread itself to more countries, affecting many more people around the globe. Hence the number of the cases are already going in the downfall, if we talk about the china from where it is originated but on the other hand it is jumping and climbing rapidly to other countries like Italy, 

ORIGIN OF THE SPANISH FLU:

The Spanish flu was originated in Spain in 1918, which is a pandemic influenza In the spring of 1918, In between the World-war 1 when it was started, The reports and turmoil`s related to this pandemic influenza kept hidden till the war to get last, as the strain of Influenza were also not given that attention in order To maintain morale of World-war 1 especially in Germany, France Us and United kingdom.  The Spanish flu was the first of two pandemics caused by the Influenza Virus the second was the Swine Flu.  The pandemic`s Hype was stretched from all along the United States and Europe to the remote areas by reaching to Greenland and the Pacific islands. Influenza is caused by an agent known as virus that is transmitted from person to person through nasal and tracheal links in to the respiratory secretions where it would be taking long time to reveal itself, and till then a person losses its life unfortunately. An outbreak or fear can be created if a new strain of influenza virus emerges against which the population has no immunity or vaccine to overcome it. The influenza i.e. Spanish flu of 1918–19 resulted from such an occurrence and affected populations throughout the globe. An influenza virus called Influenza type H1N1 is now known to have been the cause of the extreme death of this Disease.

Effects of the Corona and Spanish on the globe:

The educational institutes provides the hindrance for the students and as the population is increasing day by day, the lack of supplying goods and crops at industrial scale and local scale reduces the food for the needy and moreover the revenue generation would be in great disaster. The closure of factories, Banks, Industries, Transports, Railway tracks, Airline leads to the destruction of the import exports and it has a bad impact on those investors, with whom several countries holds an agreement or shares for their business.
