In 1918 we still had the Spanish Flu, globalization has nothing to do with it.

yes, that was a nice early example of globalization.

[Globalization or globalisation is the process of interaction and integration among people, companies, and governments worldwide.

Diseases throughout history have run rampant between countries. Small pox with the Indians, bubonic plague, TB, sweating sickness....

It just happens a bit faster now, but people have always traveled, and always spread diseases.

Perhaps his argument was poorly worded. While technically we have no data "before countries", there has always been the spread of disease recorded back thousands of years.

As transportation increased (horses, trains, ships, cars, planes) that spread has accelerated.

We had massive disease spread before what the OP considers "globalization" so I'm not sure what his point is?
