My grandmother, who I never knew because she died when my mom was 18 months old, died of the 1918 Spanish flu. She went into labour, being so deathly ill and gave birth to a still born baby who was buried with her. I can't even fathom what she went through at 27 yrs of age.

The "American flu" you mean
Pablo Forty-seven it really originated in 1917 from Chinese laborers shipped to Canada and it really came from China They had their own little virus in November 1917
@@Milkmancarti You know we can't have an argument on where it really originated since there are several theories about it and without mentioning the historians we are basing our reply on, right?. We shouldn't point our fingers at countries like this, either. Of course you can believe whatever you want but the point I was trying to make was that plenty of countries like the USA, France and others didn't want to talk about what was happening in a similar way to what China did with Covid19. I'm neither American nor Chinese so my opinion isn't biased by the way.

@@TraumaER 😂😂😂 what a comment
They didn't travel then like we do now..
Well Spanish flu killed roughly 50million-90million people back in 1918-1920. That is more than civilians and soldiers deaths combined during world war.
Corona Virus who?
Okay but this isn't Spanish flu... They also didn't have modern medicine and didn't have access to social media that has been able to spread information quick. The coronavirus won't even come close to killing millions... No way.

My great grandmother died in the fall of 1918 while my grandfather was on a troop ship crossing the Atlantic.
CBS, thanks for posting. I LOVE this show but my schedule does not allow me to watch on regular TV at that time. Again, THANK YOU!!
Me too, thankfully there is DVR and UA-cam as options.
I remember the Asian Flu of 1957-58. My parents, brother and sister were ill and in bed. My mom would drag herself up from bed to check on everyone. I was three years old and not sick. I remember wearing footed pajamas and watching tv all day long. I had a blanket and pillow on the sofa because mom quarantined my brother and sister in the bedroom we three usually shared. I probably didn’t bathe in a week. My mom opened cans of vegetables I ate cold or canned fruit. The rest I got for myself such as bread and butter or crackers. It all seemed so surreal.
Very Interesting. I'm too young to remember the 57-58 flu. However I do remember the 1968 Hong Kong flu. I was very sick from that. It seemed like life stopped while it was going on.
I too remember that flu ( 57-58)My father and I were very ill and my mother offered Canada Dry ginger ale frequently.
I didn't exist during either one, but they all came from China.

Thank you for putting this out here..
I have that book - must get busy and read it.
My mother was born in the spring of1918 in Philadelphia. Neither of my grandparents ever talked of the pandemic in Philly, tho I know:my grand mom was deathly afraid of Polio and wouldn’t let me go in a pool or run through the fire hydrants in the late 50 -mid 60s

It to be racist but the only people I see out are white people. I mean today the beach was packed it was on the news. In balboa park plenty of people as I drive by .
@@nazsalabarria860 It's not racist. We currently have a huge community debate in my neighborhood. A bunch of arguing between parents allowing their kids to go play outside with other kids. The white parents see no issue having their kids play all day with a bunch of other kids. The non-white parents are screaming and telling them to keep their kids inside. Bunch of careless jerks! I swear we will all get the virus. Then it will be survival of the fittest!

Dude its too early to tell if corona won't be as dangerous, it hasn't reached it peak in europe and the united states yet

Almost died from Hong Kong flu when I was 3. I’m still here at 51 and still kickin. This virus is not the first or the last. Relax, don’t panic. You’ll be fine.
My grandfather married a lady in 1916 who died in 1918 of the flu. He married my grandmother in 1921 but never got over the loss of his first wife. This is according to my grandmother. A year be for she died I interviewed her and still charish the stories she told me. Not sure if they were all correct because she loved to embellish her stories just like my mom and I do!
After my grandfather and grandmother, who was pregnant with my father, got off a ship from the British West Indies that docked in New York, my father's mother died, from the Spanish flu after giving birth to my father.
read that the Spanish Flu actually started in 1915 but became what we know in 1918 when the death toll grew. And in 1916, according to a death record in Detroit, my would be great-great grandfather died from the Flu. When I looked it up, the record written in 1916, was the same symptoms as the coronavirus-19. Meaning, more than likely, he did die from the Spanish Flu and it started earlier than we thought .
My great grandma passed from this virus..looks bad for me with high blood pressure n diabetes now
I am really sorry so hear that friend I wish you all the best and stay strong :(
Dana Edwards Please keep you’re head up🙏🏻
my grandmother's sister (21-year-old Agnes) died of this flu in 1918. She said two days before dying: "when you are going to die you would want to look back in life and see that you have only done good things". (happened in Val di Fiemme).
Prayers hold God in the highest regard 🙏🏾
Killed mine too, she was 35 years old.
I see a similarity with the 1918 Pandemic and COVID 19. China did not inform it's citizens for weeks, maybe months. By not sharing basic information they caused this pandemic.
My great grandma was born in 1916 before the influenza pandemic. And I with I could ask her questions about it
People have suffered so much : (

Sunlight helps the immune system.
It’s too bad most Americans don’t receive Vit D MOST of the year.
Take a vitamin D3 supplement at least 5000iu
Brucifer Mephistopheles Indeed. But...best to get Vit D blood test to know base level
@@mrdave777 No need usually. Mg/Vit D3 5000IU may help people be in the middle of the chart along with no gluten so nutrients absorb. Vit K2 may help put Ca recycled by Vit D into the bones from blood vessels. Sunlight is even better...40,000IU in 15 minutes. Sunlight makes me laugh. When I have enough Vit D I laugh.
You could but it's almost impossible to O.D. on vitamin D., I take 5000iu a day and my blood tests are always good.
I just read Dr. Jeremy Brown's article, and found it not only interesting, but reassuring.
1918: "this thing is bad"
2020: Oh come on, not again, seriously?
"People can deal with the truth, it's the unknown that's much scarier."
Actually I think: "Most of the time the truth is much scarier than falls hope but much less dangerous, because people can deal with the truth."
This woman sounds like she’s from 1918. Why did people talk with such a weird accent 70 years ago?
mopbrothers Better than every woman sounding like Kim kardashian.
mopbrothers maybe her soul lived through that time
The similarity is staggering to the scenes we see related to Covid-19
John Barry's book is a must-read in my opinion. It's worth noting here that the 1918 flu was unusual; most diseases target the young and the old, those with undeveloped or weakened immune systems; the 1918 flu mostly spared those segments of the population but caused massive immune system over-reactions in healthy adults in the prime of life, and they basically drowned in their own fluids.
So far, the Corona virus seems to target mostly the elderly and infirm, For many people the systems are quite mild, sometimes going almost completely unnoticed. Those people are carriers, who can easily spread the virus without even knowing it. The long incubation period, possibly greater than 2 weeks, makes the spread of the disease much more likely. We had better hope that it doesn't mutate into a more lethal strain.
Meanwhile, let's look at it this way. The population of the US is about 330 million. If 1 in 100 Americans gets the Corona virus, that's 3.3 million people, many of whom, *if* they have symptoms, will end up missing work and probably keeping the kids home from school. A ( conservative) mortality rate of 1% means that 33 thousand people could die, and before they expire they'll be overloading the hospitals, and then the morgues, funeral homes, and crematoriums. Families will take time out from work and school to care for and finally bury their relatives;, travel plans and vacation reservations will plummet; and consumer spending would sharply decrease. The hit to the US economy, and the world economy, would be almost incalculable ( Italy forecasts a 6 billion dollar loss). Try to Imagine the social upheaval of burying all those loved ones !
good 'un it already mutated
Lol if u know anyone that is 102 years old they probably remember this spanish flu.❤🧡💚💙💜 Stay safe everyone!🍀🍀
*whos here because of online school* 😔🤚
MsSprinkelz I hate it here 😞
Both of my parents lived through the 1918 Flu epidemic. My mother was a girl in Scotland and my father a young boy in Canada. What I cannot understand is that I cannot remember either of them ever mentioning the Flu or how bad that it was. You would think that if it was so bad that they would have talked about it.
With only 220,000 deaths due to the epidemic the UK got off fairly lightly. As with all infections of this type the areas with high population densities suffered the most so it would depend on where in Scotland and Canada they were living. Also with the war to fight the UK government didn't do enough and there was a press blackout over it.
and here we are in the fall run
May God have mercy own us all and spare us . May we be humbled and come together not just now but after this passes. In God's name I pray for everyone hurting and may we all be blessed to see another day. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Y V amen may god bless everyone, you and your family
Don’t just wash your hands, but get your immune system up to par. Not only make sure you give it enough vitamine c, d and minerals like zinc, selenium, but also don’t eat food (sugar, junk food) that compromise it.
I always wash my hands and take immuno herbal supplements, because one thing they never say in the media is that back in 2000 Licorice root destroyed the SARS virus in test tube studies.. medicine is all around us.. plant medicine.. herbals.. although I'm no fool I'm fully vaccinated and will still wear my mask!
Hope people today will be more careful and sensitive than those times..

No need to be concerned for places like India. They wash their hands much more regularly than the west. Maybe that's why they've only had 3 deaths so far and 8 in the whole of Africa (the largest land mass on the planet)

Without judging whether the corona virus was from bats or a lab, we can still see what the results will be. Those who are the most vulnerable to dying from it are the elderly and those with health issues. You know, expensive people. Will health insurance stocks become more profitable? Will social security be less burdened? For those who believe it's stupid to think this may have been an intentional release, don't forget about smallpox in blankets.
