   There is some speculation that a pandemic in 1900 may have been caused by the introduction of the OC43 strain of Coronavirus to human populations. Conventional knowledge says 1900 was a strain of flu, but it doesn't match up well with the epidemiological data for any of the flu strains that evolved from that era. Obviously the recorded data is not that great to begin with from that time period.

 

   Coronavirus OC43 is now known as one of the common cold viruses, but it still has the potential to cause significant respiratory illness and sometimes death, especially in elderly or immunocompromised people.
