The Athens plague was a highly contagious epidemic that exhibited a pustular rash, high fever, and diarrhea. COVID-19 is a respiratory virus with symptoms such as a cough, fever, and in more severe cases, difficulty breathing. One similarity is that both of these plagues have a fever and are extremely contagious. The Athens plague was a problem for 3 years and most of the population was infected. As many as 75,000 to 100,000 people, 25% of the city's population died. COVID-19 is a new epidemic and we don't know how long it will last. So far it has infected 491,276 people worldwide. 118, 060 people have covered but 22,165 people have died. The Athens epidemic broke out in early May 430 BC, and had another wave in the summer of 428 BC and in the winter of 427-426 BC. It is predicted that COVID-19 will peak now, slow down in the summer, then comeback harder the fall and winter. The Athens plague spread throughout the Mediterranean. COVID-19 has spread worldwide and affected everyone.
