Spanish Flu.
Racist.
It’s the OT and this had to be said. I hope the CV doesn’t infect the OT and turn it serious.

I looked it up, less than half of the USA even had electricity in 1918
How many ICU beds did we have in 1918?

Last year while doing some genealogy research at a church graveyard where several of my ancestors are buried, I came across a tombstone marked: Bodin Family, Died 1918 Flu Epidemic. Then it listed 5 family members, all children with the youngest being only 6 when she died. All 5 kids died within a 2 week period. A little more research showed that the parents survived with both dying around the 1950's.
After their children died, they pulled up stakes and abandoned their home to get away from the misery. I can't imagine having to bury all of your children while you survive. That had to be devastating.

Both Spanish Flu and Swine Flu are H1N1 virus. See what happens when especially personal hygiene improve over 100 years?
For those trying to compare to Spanish Flu, are y'all still worried about annual yellow fever killing people in cities like New Orleans?
Stupid mofos

Strangest part of Spanish flu was that it was especially bad for younger people.

It is thought that people with stronger immune systems had a stronger overreaction to the virus. Many died from these cytokine storms.

This is totally true, but we are also a hell of a lot more mobile in 2020 and likely come into contact with a lot more people than our 1918 ancestors on a daily basis.
Not arguing against your point, just that there are other factors in play with global spread.

I think there’s some debate over that though. Some seem to think it was no more aggressive than any other flu strain and had more to do with malnourishment, crowded hospitals, and poor hygiene.

Oh, those factors certainly played a major role too.

Did people quarantine like this during the Spanish Flu?
