[Greengoop]

The Spanish Flu in 1920?

[PluMGMK]

That would be SARS, and the year was... 2003?

[Pirez]

No for the both of you.

[EdgyRabbid]

the plague, in the 1600s?

[The Jonster]

HIV/AIDS, 1981?

Edit: Crap I didn’t read the question thoroughly, these random answers are throwing me off.

[PluMGMK]

Well at least my answer was an actual coronavirus, unlike the other guesses

[Rsandee]

SARS, 2002?

[The Jonster]

Well at least my answer was an actual coronavirus, unlike the other guesses

I suppose that doesn't matter now since Rsandee took the year I was thinking.
Thanks Edge, Greengoop for all the "help".

[EdgyRabbid]

The plague wasn't an epidemic???

[PluMGMK]

The plague was (is, in fact) caused by a bacterium, not a virus, and certainly not a coronavirus.

[EdgyRabbid]

What the hell is the difference???

[Rsandee]

What the hell is the difference???

A bacterium is a living organism that can infect a host and cause a disease. A virus is a non-living particle that basically consists of rogue strands of RNA, that somehow move on their own without it technically being an organism because organisms are essentially beings that are alive. On a practical note: you can kill bacteria with 60% alcoholic solutions, but you are unable to do so with viruses because like I stated before, they were never alive to begin with.
Coronaviruses consist of a central lipid sphere, covered with a spiky "crown" (corona means crown) of these viral RNA strands.

[Pirez]

All of you are wrong and may answer again.

I will allow another round of guesses before giving a hint

[The Jonster]

2012, with MERS.

[Rsandee]

The swine flu in 2008?

[Pirez]

2012, with MERS.

Yep, in the Middle East. It only had 350 confirmed cases over three years, which is very pedestrian compared to what we have known in 2020, but it was considered a pandemic regardless
