      Ooh interesting question. It’s not a ‘favourite’ as all diseases are very unpleasant and some are particularly dangerous for the people who are affected by them. But reading about historical infectious disease outbreaks is really interesting. Like the Spanish flu outbreak of 1918 – some people don’t realise how serious flu can be, but the pandemic in 1918 caused the deaths of around 40 million people.
