To describe:

Flu pandemic will stop without eliminating human life.

Introduction:

Epidemic can be described as an illness that has the ability to spread and have already infected people living in a different community. The flu is caused by influenza virus that has the ability to transmit from one person to another and cause pandemic.

Explanation of Solution

The flu epidemic is a condition, in which many people gets infected by a virus and eventually become ill. The flu epidemic can cause death in the people who have low immunity, but people with good immunity may fight against the virus. So, eventually, the population who are immune to the virus will be more as compared to the non-immune one. So, people who cause infection and cannot develop immunity will die and virus in their body will also be eliminated with them and the people who are immune to the virus will kill it through immune defense. So, the virus will be eventually eliminated, not the human life.
