The 1918 outbreak of the Spanish flu was the most destructive malaria epidemic in history?
RadioKing1777
False. The 1918 Spanish Flu was caused by an influenza virus and became a serious pandemic that killed millions world wide. malaria is caused by eukaryotic protists of the genus Plasmodium, a different type of infectious agent than a virus like the flu. Malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes.
The Spanish Flu lasted approximately one year in 1918 - 1919. It was a very deadly pandemic during WW1 and is estimated to have killed between 25 and 50 million people world wide in that short time period, perhaps the worst human infectious disease toll in all of recorded history. The plague in the middle ages killed 8 to 13 million, for comparison. It may have influenced the outcome of some battles in WWI since it was taking a heavy toll on military men from all parts of the world.

In total, 353 tornadoes were confirmed by the National Weather Service in 21 states from Texas to New York and even isolated tornadoes in Canada.
