When my great-grandfather was a soldier in the US Army during the First World War his entire unit (besides him) was killed by the flu - he got it but didn’t die. I never met him but it apparently had quite an impact on him.
Interesting. My grandfather was in the Signal Corps. shippped out of Duluth, Mn. near wars' end. He missed his telegram in Canada where he was homestead wood cutting during the winter. Over half his group died overseas, and while we don't have the clear infor,, I think the war was just about over when they arrived, so it would have had to be the flu.
Interesting and no shit, makes sense. Imagine all your close friends dying and yet you survived. Seems really fucked up. Glad I don't have that expierence.

The bulk of the reduction in death rates beginning in the 1800’s really had very little to do with advancements in medical treatment and mostly was thanks to sanitation. Likewise, the practice of “quarantining” goes back to the middle ages.
It was because the Spanish government didn’t downplay or censor any news about it in the media, unlike most other governments. So it created a false impression of Spain as especially hard hit when really they were just being open and truthful about the situation.

Another theory about why the 1918 influenza is so poorly remembered is that it was a personal loss for too many people. Unlike most other tragedies, even severe ones, the 1918 influenza killed someone in the extended family of almost every human on earth. The US, for example, had an average household of 4.5 at the time (2 parents, 2.5 kids). Each of your parents had 1.5 siblings who presumably married to give you 6 aunts or uncles. In turn, that gave you an average of 7.5 cousins. Add in your 4 grandparents and one generation out, you had 21 people within 1 step on your family tree. A 1 in 30 mortality rate on the flu meant 2 in 3 families lost a loved one. It's hard to talk about the death of a family member. So, lots of people avoided the pain by not talking about it. They didn't pass down family memories about it so we, collectively, forgot.
I don't know anyone that was even seriously ill with covid. My sister in law and some colleagues at work had mild cases, but I've been more ill myself in the past with gastro enteritis.
@@deusvult6920 Survival rate is not 99.7%. That BS came from a nonsensical calculation early in the pandemic, dividing the number of US deaths to date by the entire population of the country. That’s not how you calculate a rate.

Love your channel and this is a great video, as always. Two little corrections though: 1) Antibiotics don't work against pneumonia, they work against the bacteria causing it. Since flu is a virus, antibiotics would have been useless even if there were any. 2) The reason why the spanish flu was so deadly was not the pneumonia or the virus itself but rather the way that the human body reacted to it. It caused a massive immune reaction in the lungs, called a cytokine storm, which would cause damage to the lung tissue and could result in death within a day or two, not a classical pneumonia. That is why it had the highest lethality for people with the strongest immune systems, the young and the healthy. People with weaker immune systems would get a regular flu.
It should be noted, though, that I once suffered from an asthmatic bronchitis, and that the doctor I saw - who basically never prescribed antibiotics, and had never given them to his own children - prescribed them to me as a precaution.
We’re lucky history didn’t repeat itself this time. The 1918 flu killed not thru pneumonia but thru a “cytokine storm,” where your body’s immune system overreacts to a threat to the point of killing itself. This made the flu extremely deadly, and it killed mostly young healthy people (who have stronger immune systems).
I don't think we forget about past pandemics rather past generations are no longer with us to share their experiences (oral history). Indeed, "History Matters"!
My parents were born less than twenty years after this and they had hardly heard about it growing up. I think, unlike many diseases, it seemed to kill the young and healthy, which if you're a parent the death of a child might be too traumatic to relive at story time.
It's nice to see things in perspective. people are getting overly paranoid over the coronavirus nowadays but we have survived other pandemics in the past. I just wish people would stop reacting like it's the Black death from over a millennium ago because it's nothing like that at all. People also need to stop being selfish and stop hoarding everything too. You really don't need that much toilet paper. Actually so far in the house I live in the house like seven people, we have yet to buy toilet paper during this pandemic and we still have a lot left. Proof you don't need to buy everything off the shelf

I just wish people would stop reacting like it's the Black death from over a millennium ago because it's nothing like that at all. People also need to stop being selfish and stop hoarding everything too. You really don't need that much toilet paper. Actually so far in the house I live in the house like seven people, we have yet to buy toilet paper during this pandemic and we still have a lot left. Proof you don't need to buy everything off the shelf
1:42 That Luigi Cadorna and the Battles of the Isonzo River references ^^
You give the information so well
I'm always amazed at how little known this was. Glad you addressed this in the video.
1:35 Madagascar is the Greenland of Spanish Flu
No one expects the Spanish influenza!
The cartoon was educational and entertaining. Thank you for making it.
“Got to everyone corner of the world.” Leaves Madagascar uncolored.
Plague inc. players dancing with rage
My uncle died of it in 1920, which is when it finally reached Brownsville, Texas in a big way.
Huh, this video came out in late march 2020, interesting
3:02
The ultimate graduation project for medical students xd
Nice vid! Btw, pls make a Peak Portugal mug!!
Watching this a year after things really kicked off in UK and looking at this like its a documentary of the UK government’s response in 2020. Very surreal.
The flu: started in Kentucky
America: I'll never forgive the -japanese- Spanish!
Blame the flu on Spain!
In china. It spread to Europe and usa from Chinese workers who were diagnosed with virus.
Nobody Didn't it start in China though?
The flu originated in China and was spread at first by chinas labor corps
@Nobody what? 🤣🤣🤣 lmao
2020: Corona virus
1918: Spanish flu
1817: Cholera outbreak
1720: Plague in South France

Every 100 years it seems
Either you're joking, or you failed math
Also the corona virus started in 2019 hence 'Covid19'
@@shaheerthekhan it broke out in 2020!
@@alilabeebalkoka no it didn't, it started in December 2019
Shaheer Khan It was a damn joke lol. Who cares if the year is slightly wrong
lol the Virus with a Spanish hat!. then the Extranjero sign you killed me lol.
Sorry to interrupt your laugh ,but what does "Extranjero" mean ,maybe I will join with i
cant wait for a channel like this to make a video in 40 to 50 years about covid
Watching this in January 2021 while still in a pandemic...
hardly.
this is nothing the biggest issue is the silly reaction
1:42 was that a refference to the 12th battles of Isonzo?
TWELVE!!!??? How many battles can one city have?
0:44 when the floating H1N1 had a rifle and helmet 😂
Run

The one that got me was the Flu going by and a politician with the ‘Hola’ sign.
1:35 all corners of the world
Madagascar...
worked in an old mental hospital in the 1980s and the Spanish flu was remembered of some older staff, I think they were memories of older staff who had since left telling of mass burials in the small graveyard of the hospital
And so history repeats itself today, again
Thanks for the perspective! Definitely makes me feel a little safer.
Thoughtly42 is a little more optimistic video. Although the tittle could be seen as offensive.
All the answers to today's issues lie in history, that's why history is so precious!
1:34 Madagascar be chilling
Anyone watching this video in COVID-19 time. I love this guy's video so tiny but so informative. Subscribed
read the newspaper on here you wont regret it XD. love the effort this guy puts into his videos!
Actually, the 'Spanish' flu is still with us. It's just a much milder disease now, and forms part of the seasonal flu outbreaks every winter...
Perfect timing
3:22 all of these policies sound very familiar.
Thats because its a pandemic
