" I came across a small cemetery in the mountains once .... noticed virtually all the death dates (many young & old, some in-between) were mostly in/around 1918. It was very, very eerie for one thing, and utterly sobering to imagine what was going on during that time (killed three to five percent of the world’s population)."

This cemetery was dedicated to the 1819 victims of Yellow Fever. I was surprised at how many foreign born are in there.

Yellow fever is, like ebola, a viral hemorrhagic illness. The vector is the mosquito instead of monkeys and bats.
