The infection rate in the US and other nations was still spiking.  *HIV/AIDS PANDEMIC (AT ITS PEAK,2005-2012)*  Death Toll : 30 million Cause : HIV/AIDS           First identified in Democratic Republic of Congo. It was proved as a global pandemic, killing more than 36 million people since 1981. There are between 31 and 35 million people living with HIV, the vast majority in Sub - Saharan Africa where 5% of the population  is infected, roughly 21 million people.

It had a less mortality of 0.5 % .  *ASIAN FLU (1956 - 1958)*  Death Toll : 2 million Cause : Influenza                      This was a pandemic outbreak of Influenza A of H2N2 subtype, that originated in China in 1956 and lasted until 1958. In its 2 year span, Asian flu spread from Chinese province of Ghizhou to Singapore, Hong Kong and the United States. The World Health Organisation places the final tally at approximately 2 million deaths, 69800 of those in the US alone.            The flu pandemic of 1918 caused by influenza the also took a toll of 20 - 50 million the flu pandemic (1889 - 1890) caused by influenza took a toll of 1 million.  *SIXTH CHOLERA PANDEMIC (1910 - 1911)*  Death Toll : 8,00,000+ Cause : Cholera <?p>                 Like its previous incarnations, the sixth cholera pandemic originated in India where is killed over 800000 people before spreading the Middle East, North Africa, Eastern Europe and Russia.  *BLACK DEATH (1346 - 1353)*  Death Toll : 75 - 200 million Cause : Bubonic Plague                 From 1346 to1353 an outbreak of the plague ravaged Europe, Africa and Asia with an estimated death toll between 75 - 200 million.
