(Dedicated to their Observation: “A claim on Facebook that a pandemic occurs exactly every 100 years cites four outbreaks that it says occurred in 1720, 1820, 1920 and 2020. But the first example was not a pandemic and the second and third started a couple of years before 1820 and 1920. More importantly, the claim ignores many other pandemics over several centuries that did not occur in such a neat pattern.")
