      The article discusses the effects of pandemics and microbes in human history. Topics include the 1918 influenza epidemic and its aftereffects and link to diseases like diabetes, kidney disease, and heart disease as researched by economist Craig Garthwaite in 2008, the deaths caused by viruses, and the possible consequences of COVID-19 based on history of pandemics like the Black Death plague in early 14th century.
