8 Shocking truth about Spanish flu
Flu, or flu, is a virus aimed at the respiratory system of our bodies.
Viruses often infect your lungs, throat or nose.
Due to areas, it infects, it usually spreads when someone has a flu, cough or talking.
You can also be infected if you touch a recent surface that has been exposed to the virus and then touches your eyes, nose or mouth.
For example, if someone sneezes on a handrail and you touch it before scratching your eyes, you can catch the virus.
Like many others around the world, I also have a time in time convincing myself that I'm dying for the flu.
Like most of these people, I simply Melodramatic and recovered soon after.
While most people these days will recover after the flu without any serious injury or risk of death, this is not always.
Let's see one of these deadly varieties, Spanish flu.
Spanish flu is the most dangerous pandemic that the world has ever seen!
Forget the flu you catch when you are a child you think will be the end of both of you, and mankind.
The worst flu in the Spanish influenza record, has attacked the world from 1918-1919.
The official death figure worldwide of the Spanish flu is somewhere from 20 to 50 million people, although this can be a severe job.
Doubt that the real numbers are about 100 million
If the increase is trusted, then more than 3% of the world's population died from Spanish flu!
Spanish flu doesn't even come from Spain.
Spanish influenza attacked in the first months of 1918, in the last year of World War I.
In 1918, most countries in the world have censored the media to prevent any unwanted news that affects their army's spirit.
Thus, these countries have chosen to discuss any information about the new influenza strain
Spain is neutral in the battle, so their media is free to report on whatever they desire.
People have believed that the flu is from Spain because they are the only European power reporting about it.
Ironiness here?
Spanish flu has many outbreaks.
The first wave of flu spread throughout
Most people who caught Spanish flu reported very typical and recovered flu symptoms in a few days.
There are no deaths that many people die.
This second wave is said to have been much more deadly, possibly due to mutation in the virus.
It is also believed that this second wave spreads to many parts of the world due to increasing military movement in the final stage of World War I.
The third wave began in Australia in January 1919, and although it was considered like a form of the second wave, it did not spread according to the ending war.
Many American soldiers died of Spanish flu compared to the battle.
When the second wave of Spanish influenza attacks America, it attacked strong and fast.
It happened around at the same time with the largest soldiers in the United States, about 1 million men, towards the previous routes.
An estimated 26,000 men died in this unique attack, the biggest loss of the US military in the entire war.
On the other hand, Spanish flu, killed nearly twice this amount.
About 15,000 soldiers lost their lives for influenza while stationing in France, with 30,000 other soldiers killed by the flu while on the United States.
No one has the idea how to fight with it.
The world's leading medical experts don't know anything when fighting Spanish flu.
Without known treatment, doctors have moved to whatever they think will help or at least reduce symptoms.
A suspected remedy is aspirin, a relatively new drug at the time.
Doctors in the US offered patients to lose 30 grams of aspirin every day, a recommendation proved to be fatal.
Unknown that at the moment aspirin is really high toxic with high doses, something is considered to have increased the number of deaths in the second wave of the virus.
Aspirin of course is still used today, although there are never more doses
Spanish flu affects everyone of all ages.
'
The most affected people are usually young children, pregnant women, people over 65 or people with specific medical conditions.
Spanish flu is different, though.
Many of the lives declared by the virus are young men and women who have no signs of previous conditions that can complicate the problem.
While this is very unusual, so do the Spanish flu.
Social confirmation helps reduce emotional prices.
Many cities across the United States have tried some different tactics to prevent the spread of Spanish flu, with different levels of success.
Some cities respond faster than other cities, B
It was discovered that people who made close restrictions when the first onset of viruses had a 50% lower mortality rate than others taking longer.
It is also found that people who have raised restrictions too soon make the virus return to EN Masse, while their limited keepers are longer to see the virus die.
Many modern flu strains are descendants of Spanish flu.
It is easy to assume that Spanish flu is an extremely rare form of viruses due to the destruction that it has forged in the world.
Scientists have managed to study the genetics of the virus from the samples taken from the body of infected people who are frozen for decades in Alaska's Permafrost.
It is discovered that Spanish flu is only another variant of H1N1, the most popular flu form is found today.
When the world is more and more populated, the risk of translation.
When you combine this with the growing globalization of the world, you will start having problems.
This is, essentially, how a deadly stress of a common virus has sought to wipe out about 100 million people for two years.
It is important that we remember the lessons taught by this pandemic, because we will begin to see more and more, even after Covid-19.
