Name the Most Dangerous Virus of all Time.

[Youngatheart]

Don't google the answer please.

 

[peramangkelder]

Probably the Common Cold which is also a Coronavirus

 

[Kadee]

Bird flu ?

 

[Ruthanne]

It appears to me that it's the one going around now.

 

[Rosemarie]

Surely the Black Death? Not only was it extremely virulent but few people survived it.

 

[Keesha]

Spanish flu?

 

[Ruthanne]

Surely the Black Death? Not only was it extremely virulent but few people survived it.

What is the Black Death as I've never heard of it call that at least.

 

[Tommy]

I suppose it depends on what is meant by "dangerous". Killed the largest number of people? Killed the largest percentage of the population? Had the lowest survival rate?

As I recall, the Marburg virus was virtually 100% fatal but fortunately was not widespread.

 

[Furryanimal]

Without googling it i can’t name one(although I suggest doing that) but in the past there have been pandemics that have wiped out huge swathes of the world population.
This one is nowhere being the worst.And it will die out like the others did.

 

[Furryanimal]

What is the Black Death as I've never heard of it call that at least.

Bubonic Plague.There’s been a death from that this year

 

[Ruthanne]

So what is the answer as I'm anxiously awaiting to hear.

 

[Aunt Marg]

The Black Plague?

If I'm not mistaken it was called the Spanish Flu?

 

[Tommy]

.As I recall, the Marburg virus was virtually 100% fatal but fortunately was not widespread.

Hmm .. I was wrong. I looked it up and Marburg is only about 50% fatal.

BTW, although the plague (yersinia pestis) has caused s number of horrible epidemics throughout history (including "the Black Death"), it's a bacterium - not a virus.

 

[hollydolly]

Ebola ?

 

[PamfromTx]

Human Immunodeficiency Virus?

 

[Ruthanne]

Don't google the answer please.

So, what is it? Curious minds want to know

 

[Oris Borloff]

Please, define dangerous?

 

[Aunt Marg]

Please, define dangerous?

Involving possible injury, pain, harm, or loss.

Likely to cause problems or to have adverse consequences.

 

[Lewkat]

The love bug carries and dispenses his vicious virus every where.

 

[Youngatheart]

Please, define dangerous?

Killed the most people and keeps on killing.

 

[Aunt Marg]

Killed the most people and keeps on killing.

Like a Timex watch, it keeps on ticking and ticking.

 

[PamfromTx]

I think I will stick to @debodun 's riddles.

 

[jujube]

I'm going to go with the Spanish Flu.

 

[tbeltrans]

I don't know for sure, but I do believe that death is the most likely cause of loss of life 100% of the time.

Also, I believe the correct answer to the OP's question is the Black Plague as other posters have already mentioned. It took place in the Middle Ages and wiped out entire towns.

Please, define dangerous?

Agreed. It's impossible to know what you're asking unless you narrow your question.
