CEBERIO, Marcelo R.. Killer flus and the reign of corona virus. Cienc. Psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.15, n.2, e2704.  Epub Dec 01, 2021. ISSN 1688-4094.  https://doi.org/10.22235/cp.v15i2.2704.

This second text in a series of two, which unfolds the history of the largest epidemics and pandemics in the world. In the first, the pandemics preceding COVID-19 were described and analyzed: the plagues that ravaged the Greco-Roman world and other infectious contagious diseases until they reached the pink plague, as the AIDS virus was called. The present text begins with a series of deadly flus that currently end with the generation of the family of corona viruses. The text describes the characteristics of each disease and the emotional, economic, psychological disorders, among others, that were unleashed in each context where the virus proliferated.

Keywords : COVID-19; pandemic; poverty; flus; emotions.
