    China in the early to mid-1300s and spread along trade routes westward to the
    Mediterranean and northern Africa. It eventually reached southern England in 1348
    and northern Britain and Scandinavia by 1350.</td></tr>

    The Spanish flu originated in the US (despite it's name) and started on February
    1918, ending on April 1920. It was previously the disease event that caused the
    biggest loss of life in the United States. Altogether, the Spanish flu took about
    roughly 675,000 American's lives. Overcrowding and unsanitary conditions created a
    fertile breeding ground for the virus. The Spanish flu was also a type A form of
    influenza virus that started in a bird host (bird flu)</td>

    believed to have begun in the Mesopotamian city of Seleucia (in modern-day Iraq)
    and spread to Rome by soldiers returning from the city’s siege. The total death
    count has been estimated at 5–10 million, roughly 10% of the population of the
    empire. The disease was particularly deadly in the cities and in the Roman army. At
    one point during the extended pandemic an estimated 2,000 Romans died each day.
    Emperors mentioned above are believed to be among its victims.</td>
