The Pandamic the world forgot SPANISH FLU DEATHS OVER 17 MILLION
If you are scared of this pandemic check out the one most people forgot or don't know about.
The Spanish Flu
The Spanish Flu
The 1918 influenza pandemic (January 1918 – December 1920; colloquially known as the Spanish flu) was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic, the first of the two pandemics involving H1N1 influenza virus, with the second being the swine flu in 2009.[1] It infected 500 million people around the world,[2] or about 27% of the then world population of between 1.8 and 1.9 billion, including people on isolated Pacific islands and in the Arctic. The death toll is estimated to have been anywhere from 17 million[3] to 50 million, and possibly as high as 100 million, making it one of the deadliest epidemics in human history.[4][5] Historical and epidemiological data are inadequate to identify with certainty the pandemic's geographic origin.[2]
Infectious diseases already limited life expectancy in the early 20th century, but life expectancy in the United States dropped by about 12 years in the first year of the pandemic.[6][7][8] Most influenza outbreaks disproportionately kill the very young and the very old, with a higher survival rate for those in between, but the Spanish flu pandemic resulted in a higher than expected mortality rate for young adults.
To maintain morale, wartime censors minimized early reports of illness and mortality in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and the United States.[10][11] Papers were free to report the epidemic's effects in neutral Spain (such as the grave illness of King Alfonso XIII).[12] These stories created a false impression of Spain as especially hard hit,[13] giving rise to the pandemic's nickname, "Spanish flu".[14]
Scientists offer several possible explanations for the high mortality rate of the 1918 influenza pandemic. Some analyses have shown the virus to be particularly deadly because it triggers a cytokine storm, which ravages the stronger immune system of young adults.
In contrast, a 2007 analysis of medical journals from the period of the pandemicfound that the viral infection was no more aggressive than previous influenza strains. Instead, malnourishment, overcrowded medical camps and hospitals, and poor hygiene promoted bacterial superinfection. This superinfection killed most of the victims, typically after a somewhat prolonged death bed.
Rants by Mark Antony Raines
Is Coronvirus going to be the end off the world as we know it don't believe anyone really know s as we never learn from the past ie The last modern day pandemic that killed millions The Spanish Flu.
Do I trust our government to do the right thing; if you talk about something too much people get immune to what you are saying. Yes wash your hands; buy goods only what you need.
I don't remember any Zombie genre film where the survivors go looking for Toilet Paper is must have missed that one.
When was being nearly 60 and being disabled make you like the invisible man or woman.
Why don't nurse s from doctors health centre wear gloves or wash hand s anymore "I name and shame Holsworthy Health Centre part of Ruby County "
Why are some people in medical profession so bloody rude I was always polite.

Krist Pain by Mark Antony Raines
This is the tale related to me by Krist Pain .
It began when I was invited to attend the monster's ball and I said to mother it sucks to be me.
Mother replied Suck it up Buttercup as I got your costume ready and it be very rude not to attend.
Krist hated the fact that the monster s ball was just a excuse to find a vampire mail order bride as you see most vampires just wanted to create a bride for the company and the blood on tap.
Krist attended the grand ball and thier she met her match in a werewolf.
Thier laugh and dance all night staring lovingly into each other eyes.
Then the gargoyle tapped her on the shoulder and told the werewolf to go howl away.
She hated the gargoyle but found herself drawn to him and when asked if she would take part in the video of event with him she said yes .
Suddenly nocturne falls and a reaper appeared with his long staffed bladed end and precedes to cut off both the heads of Krist and the Gargoyle.
The werewolf let's out a manic laugh and howls with delight
Freddy the Freak got his revenge for Krist takedown .

'My Near Death Experience' by Mark Antony Raines
'My Near Death Experience' by Mark Antony Raines: Some time ago whilst I was starting to experience being very thirsty and feeling sick, and my mind was getting confused, and I was starting to make not a lot of sense. My wife rang the doctor, who at first said it was just an inner ear infection, but my wife Enid pursued this further and insisted the doctor came to look me over.
TOI LET PAPER APOCALYPSE A POEM BY MARK ANTONY RAINES
I did my shopping trip although I was feeling weak and Weary,
I wondered down the brightly light aisles on my quest for the holy grail;
I heard the screaming of delight and the scrumish of fighting,
Only this and nothing more
It was like a bleak December with its dying ember making it like a ghost town outside the supermarkets sliding doors,
Eagerly I wished the treasure I seeked to be upon the shelves;
But I heard a group of women crying ;
No more.
My heart became broken I felt fantastic terrified in the sub conscious of my brain,
I willed and wished for to be able once again to glance at my desire at its rare white radiant beauty,
Still it hear cries echo no more.
So I departure was just around the corner when I heard a rumour that entreated me to go to the other supermarket in my deserted town,
I was like the last vistor allowed to enter it's door s;
I came upon a shop assistant and said
dear madam truly my forgiveness I implore,
I beg of you have you any of the white gold in seek ;
But in the shop assistant eyes there was darkness and nothing more.
Deep into the darkness in my soul i peered,
Doubting was I just dreaming dreams of a living nightmare,
Then a whisper in my ear said I have what you seek ,
I turned and saw a dark figure it not seen before,
Gesturing with its bony hands to follow it's path for it had the white gold i required.
I reached my destination a shelf with one white pack of toilet roll sitting lonely on the cold tin shelf,
Soon as group of other s appeared all yearning this prestigious award,
With guardians surrounding it were were to to take part in a bidding war ,
As this was the last one on planet earth thier be no more.
So I engaged in the frenzy,
with absurd sums of money placed bids, one was for one billion pounds. The Dark figure began a smiling then broke into a cracking manically laughter at all our expense,
For you see it was all a elborate ruse just to get rich quick for this dark figure,
You see it was but a cardboard tube painted white
All the people around this planet earth cried
No more Toilet Paper is to be found.
So I journey home forlorn and bitterly disappointed,
I sit now on my porcelain throne peering at the empty jaws of cheap tin metal where my toilet paper stood prided in place;
How I lothed this toilet paper Apocalypse,
I ponder it was said to be ,
Of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the one named War has gone - at least for a while. But Famine, Pestilence and Death are still charging over the earth. Hunger is a silent visitor who comes like a shadow.
This is the true apocalypse now,
So I have finished doing my body function s and have no choice but to use newspaper instead.

HORROR THEATRE _TALES FROM THE CRYPT BY MARK ANTONY RAINES
Thunder roars and echoing
Lighting lit's up the plutonian darkness of this night.
Footsteps crush one by one on the gravel path ;a rusting creaking cast iron gate opens.
The footsteps continue up the gravel path as it approchs it's destination.
A crypt is open ,the guests enter the crypts and sit down at the table placed in the middle.
A shadow figure appears dressed in a black habit and its face covered by its cowl.
"Welcome Gentleman and Ladies I intestested to learn your tales of woe this night "
Margaret a wife of a prosperous husband speaks first .
"My husband is an insomniac who keeps me awake on and off during the night disturbing my slumber.
So I decided I must do some thing about this before it drives me to madness.
We travelled to Sweden to a clinic at Kurhus ;a sanitorium for insomniac s.
During our stay my husband would begin to sleep and then regale to me his unearthly nightmares of mysterious lost souls like witches ;vampires and this dream he had ever night until it drove him and myself out .
We wandered in the night in the labyrinth of the paths of the dark foreboding woods until we came upon a deserted gamekeepers hut.
We decided to rest in this cabin until daybreak. We entered the cabin and liked upon the wall upon it were the spoils of hunts but shock and awe struck as among the poor unfortunate souls of the animals heads beside these were a woman's head placed upon it was a witch's head;the other was that of a man displaying his vampiric fangs, I turned to run ;upon my husband s face was a maniac smile as he raised the axe through my head. The last few words I heard were now I have a human being to add to my collection as he cracked in his insanity "

On these sleepwalks I began to meet people people who I knew a woman in met in hospital; my father .
I come across a clergyman playing chess each piece on the board looking like someone I had known.
