Diffusion occurs because of the movement of molecules from
the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration. This
movement of molecules occurs due to a thermal motion. Diffusion normally occurs
between two compartments having difference in concentration. In case of fluid
it moves from the region of higher concentration to the region of concentration
until a balance is reached. The process of diffusion is very important for the
humans as well. The oxygen that humans breathe in gets diffused with the blood.
<span>The influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 killed more people
than the Great War, known today as World War I (WWI), at somewhere between
20 and
40 million people. It has been cited as the most devastating epidemic in
recorded world history. More people
died of influenza in a single year than in four-years of the Black Death
Bubonic Plague from 1347 to 1351. Known as "Spanish Flu" or "La
Grippe" the influenza of 1918-1919 was a global disaster. </span>
