How long did the Philadelphia yellow fever epidemic last?
No epidemic has a "day" that it started and I believe you have the wrong year listed in your question. The major U.S. yellow fever epidemic occurred in 1793 and the first probable outbreak of the disease was in 1648 in Yucutan, where the illness was termed xekik (black vomit). At least 25 major outbreaks followed, such as in Philadelphia 1793, where several thousand people died and the American administration as well as George Washington had to flee the city. Yellow fever epidemics in North America caused some 100,000-150,000 deaths. Major outbreaks also occurred in Europe, e.g. in 1821 in Barcelona with several thousand victims. In 1878, about 20,000 people died in an epidemic in the Mississippi River Valley and the last major outbreak in the US occurred in 1905 in New Orleans.
