If you develop pneumonia and other bacterial complications from the flu it’s a problem. That still remains a problem today
A lot of People don’t die directly from the flu itself but the complications from it
It wouldn’t stop the flu but it would help if you develop a bacteria infection
Viral stuff is the worst unfortunately
Antibiotics are useless for viral infections

Grandpa was in the US Army in ‘17 at Fort Sill, OK in a Infantry Division training for shipping over to Europe.
Mr Influenza showed up and made his unit unsendable.
He didn’t personally have any symptoms (can’t kill bad grass?).
He was farmed out to a training role in another unit and fought WWI from the good ole US of A.
Yay for me!!!

That’s treatable.

For some reason I think there needs to be more studies on the correlation between space debris impacts and these pandemics. These killer diseases are basically like aliens.

A new strain of influenza could be a strong depopulator in some areas but so much research has been done because of H1N1 that a vaccine could be ramped up very quickly, about 6 months from the time of first detection.
Depending on where it originates, as many as 500 million people could die before the vaccine gets distributed, however. Primarily because of the giant population centers we have now.
The trade off is how much more of the population needs a functioning society to survive.
More Americans starve to death or are murdered for supplies in a flu pandemic of that scale than who dies from flu.

That’s another catch of flu pandemic: ordinarily treatable ailments won’t be because hospitals are overwhelmed.

This. If a hospital has 20 ventilators and 200 patients that need them, a lot of people will be SOL.
ETA. I stayed with a relative hospitalized during that rough flu outbreak three years ago. Whenever anybody came in the room, they would gown and mask up, and use hand sanitizer. I was there four days with no protection whatsoever and never caught a sniffle.

Yes, a great many deaths will result because most people will not be prepared to subsist on their own for a period of two weeks, the minimum time it takes for influenza to sweep through a community.
“You’re on your own (YOYO)” is taught by public educators from the CDC and FEMA as a worst case scenario. We can’t expect first responders to abandon their own families and loved ones in such an apocalyptic situation.
Hurricane Katrina gave us a glimpse into just such a reaction by emergency personnel when an unprepared New Orleans faced the giant storm. First responders opted to save themselves and their families rather than to attempt to save others. Who can blame them?
More than 1,100 people died as a result but the effect of a full response by local EMA personnel would probably have been minimal anyway because of the lack of preparedness by local citizenry. Katrina showed that people who rely solely on the government to save them in an extreme disaster are likely to die.

Got both the Dodge brothers
No telling how much it impacted the future of the automobile industry...at least both widows did well when they sold the company for $146 million in 1925.

My father has a letter from his great-aunt to his grandmother from 1918. In the letter she talks about her and one of her kids being sick. They were both dead a week later.

My great grandfather died from this 2 days before my grandfather was born in 1918
