CelesteofOz Hi, can you give me your opinion about my channel and thank you
Well damn that would suck
Worse than that. They'd tear muscles from coughing so hard. Blood coming from ears and what have you.
CelesteofOz thats what happened to Guillaume Appolinaire. Poor guy.
@@thekidfromiowa not to mention the nausea, fever and aches. Dark spots would turn up on their cheeks and their faces turned blue as they slowly suffocated, their lungs filled with a bloody frothy substance.
... Like. Just vaccinate your kids ppl. Please.
“Hopefully we will never experience another pandemic”
Coronavirus: “Hold my RNA”
Samuel Nieto lol it killed 50-100 million of people, do u actually think that corona would pass that number?
Even if it kills 49,999,999 people will make your point still valid, so I can safely say that no, it won't :P
Lianne Cavico we are at ~700 reported deaths, with alleged deaths in the thousands now. (can’t trust the CCP’s stats)
@C. Caner Telimenli I wouldn't be so quick to relate the ratio in Wuhan to the rest of the world. I don't have Wuhan specific numbers, but in China alone, with the vast majority in Wuhan, 3.5% of those infected died. While, worldwide is 3.4%, China accounts for 97% of these deaths. If you don't include China, it's only 1.7%. Don't get me wrong. 1.7% is still very high but it's better than 2.5%, much less 3.5%. Of course, I think these numbers in China or grossly underestimated. South Korea is one the best at reporting accurate numbers. Going by that, deaths only account for 0.7%. Meanwhile, in Iran the ratio is 10.6% but I don't think their numbers are accurate. Overall, it's too soon to say what the ratio is, but I suspect when all is said and done, we're looking at less than 2% of cases.
We already did, and it was by a decedent of the same virus in 2009 called swine influenza. It killed about 496,000 more people. But twitter wasn't around back then so of course you're not aware of it and are instead aware of the coronavirus because "I sAw It oN TwItTer." News flash dude, we had a far deadlier pandemic before twitter and nobody including you batted an eyelid. So what makes you think this one will be any different besides mass panic?
who is here after "coronavirus"?
I wish we could say "after" coronavirus
You mean who is here "DURING" CoronaVirus
I watched this last year but it showed up in my recommendations again due to.....duh..duh...daaaa….coronavirus
@@paulc1014 coronavirus was found out in 2019, so uhh idk
Uhm don’t talk about that my uncle died from that
“Another pandemic may never happened “. Spoiler alert, it happened
Another pandemic like Spanish flu she said
Umm, she specifically said it COULD happen again, and it's happening exactly how this video describes. From two years ago, before covid-19.
Spanish flu was responsible for the deaths of 50 to 100 million people. That is over 3 thousand time more deaths than corona virus. While that is not impossible for corona virus and we could get there eventually it is very improbable. So as of right now there really in no comparison.
@@edouglasroche also remember world population was 1500 million at that time. So it killed 6% of population.
For coronavirus to reach that level, it needs to kill 500 million people
Covid 19 finished
I exist because of this flu. Killed my great grandfather's family so he met my great grandmother and started again.
Here too, grandmother's first husband died of it, left her with two children. We're quite sure that her re-marriage to my grandfather was arranged, as widows with small children didn't have a lot of choices in those days.
Weird thinking about these kind of things. I only exist because of WWII. My French grandma married a German soldier, he was killed in the war and after that she married my grandpa.
I exist because of Genkhis Khan interracial
Aella Lee well that’s not a good way to be in existence
Same
Coronavirus: exists
UA-cam algorithm: you want to learn about more pandemics?!
the algorithm is pretty right this time!!!
I mean yeah, I do lol
Nothing like preying on fear to boost clicks.
I feel personally attack. UA-cam has recommended it lots of pandemic related viruses lately
Of course, coronaviruses exist as the common cold is but one of the coronaviruses. lol
I first learned of the 'Spanish flu' when I was a child and noticed the many headstones in the local cemetery that showed 1918 as the year people had died.
0:29 ''the mother of all pandemics''
Black Death: I guess I'm the grandmother!
COVID19: I must be the daughter.
Covid19 isn't from the influenza family ^^
@@zavsulan3746 black death isn't either
UltimatePro 1819 black death was worse
Man black death isnt a flu its a plague
I studied the Spanish Influenza extensively in high school and am still fascinated by it. The death toll was probably closer to 100 million. 20 million died in India alone and there would have been many unreported deaths. From what I’ve read, most sources discredit Kansas as the point of origin. I’ve also read that another reason it was called Spanish was that the king of Spain died from it.
Kudos to Olivia for not slipping up and calling it an epidemic. That’s one of my biggest pet peeves.
Samar Nadra
Yep. An epidemic only spreads throughout cities and countries, but pandemics are usually worldwide and/or spread around the majority of thr globe (sorry flat-earthers the earth is a globe)
I hope they taught you that it started in China.

If you loved learning about the Spanish Flu, you must be in heaven right now, actually living a modern version of it
It was called the Spanish flu because it was the officials in Spain who were brave enough to announce it.
I read an extensive report on how it got to "Spain".
The US had hired Chinese as workers not to fight as soldiers, but to do behind the lines necessary work.
That would free US personnel to be in combat.
The Chinese boarded train for the trip to NY. There were several stops along the trip for fuel and food and rest stops. The flu was later found at all those stops.
Some of the Chinese workers were visibly ill during that trip. The outbreaks have been traced to have spread outward from the stops as if t hey were the hubs of transmission.
Then in NY the infected but not visibly ill associated with many people in the process or preparing for the boat ride to Europe. The time of outbreaks in Europe follows the time of their arrival.
So, the Spanish flu that killed approximately 100 million people originated in China and was brought across the US before traveling to Europe.
It seems to me every damned version of flu has originated in China. What the HELL are they doing over there?
The 1918 Spanish flu. Killed 50-60 million
Asian flu 1956-7 Killed approximately 2 million
Flu epidemic of 1968. (This was actually spreading during the Woodstock concert, killed about 2 million)
SARS 2002 infected about 20,000, killed 800.
N5N1 2008 bird flu no figures for humans
H1N1 swine flu 2009 not quite as deadly but sickened about 100 million who then missed work and some had lung problems lat
Bird flu in 2015 wiped out millions of birds people used as food.
Covid in 2019, first they tried to scare the hell out of us with 200 million were going to die, now it's hard to find statistics. According to Forbes about 7 million have died but may be under reported due to China's reluctance to supply accurate figures.
Now a new version of bird flu is spreading and this version sickens humans as well not just birds.
It would be a shame to have to nuke China to kill off all those viruses but how else to stop it?
Something is not right over there. How the hell did that managed to have 1.4 billion people with all that flu going on?
It is so surreal to watch this in 2021... Can you imagine how worse COVID-19 would be if it hadn't been for the tools and research we've developed in the last 100 years. And also how much better it would have been... If it hadn't been for the people determined to live like they lived and fought a pandemic 100 years ago!
Seems like we haven't learned much.
now if only any of them still bothered taking precautions for us immunocompromised folk instead of dancing around like everything's Normal™ Again
That last line lmao that aged like milk
I talked to my grandpa about this. HIS dad died in 1918 of spanish flu!
My grandpa died 1987
My Grandpa has Spanish flu while in the Navy. He credited a friend who wouldn't let him drift into sleep with saving his life. He said the death rate was so high at Great Lakes Naval Station that they had to stack the bodies like cordwood because burial was overwhelmed.
"Hopefully we'll never experience another pandemic like the Spanish Flu"
Corona virus. Boi
Coronavirus has the same numbers in rate of contagion and fatality rate
James Ricker yeah the coronavirus totally has 10 percent death rate and it targets healthy people just LIKE the Spanish flu
@@epicxx7699 Spanish Flu killed 2-5% of the population which is completely realistic for COVID-19
Awkward.
"The deadliest flu in history"
China: Hold my corona.
It killes 50-100 million people
Do you think corona could pass that number ?
Roman Fernandez in spanish too
@@user-fi2fk2ei7o black death: really? 200.000 ignorance European were dead by my disease
TheMsdos25 hhhh good one
@@user-fi2fk2ei7o Has a 83% transmissivity rate according to Chinese study in the Lancet Medical Journal(contagious beyond belief) and contagious even during incubation so it may very well infect a higher % of people on the planet than any other in history, but would likely have to mutate to kill that many, according to the study death rate was 15%. Really bad news other Chinese Doctors have seen initial signs it may be mutating and becoming deadlier to specifically young healthy people. Go to rthk.hk it is Hong Kong English Language news to see article on news conference by Hong Kong medical school faculty, not good news, they called for draconian methods worldwide to stop the spread, the Dean even apologized for not taking it more seriously a couple weeks ago.
"hopefully we won't face another pandemic"
2020: hold my beer
pandemics will always continue to be a part of humanity
So how's that Universal vaccine coming along?
I'm pretty sure all research of a universal influenza vaccine has been shelved right now so as to focus on a coronavirus vaccine instead
The Coronaviruses that started SARS and Covid-19:
dEAl wIth It
Accouple of my ancestors in York City died from this. My Father, however, fighting in the trenches in France, never got sick.
and this is why vaccines are important kids
Are you insane? Every single child I know of who has had a flu vaccine has been ill for months if not years as a result of it.Vaccines don't help us evolve, they just make us think we are safer when in reality they pose little or absolutely no help whatsoever!
Luke IamYourFather You my friend need a reality check and do some research on what vaccines are and what they do and how they help especially since if they didn't exist everyone would still have smallpox
I have spent the last 22 years studying many vaccines, good and bad. I at no point said that all vaccines are dangerous, I merely pointed out that the flu ones do have some pretty nasty side effects which I have witnessed first hand and studied in detail. Now if you wish to spew your uneducated opinions that's fine, just don't expect a dignified reply.
Luke IamYourFather you probably didn’t study vaccines since I have a flu one and experiencing nothing
Did I say that every person who has a vaccine will display side effects? Some could be instant, some later or maybe none at all. My wife has flu jabs and on one occasion was extremely ill, but on others only felt mild cold like symptoms. I am not saying all vaccines are bad or affect all people. What you need to understand is when pharmaceutical companies make vaccines they don't do so because they care about your well being. They do so because they want to make money and for no other reason. There has been some well documented write ups showing the danger and damage from some vaccines. A simple google or youtube search will show you many. Some will just conspiracies, others will provide you facts and figures which you can decide based on evidence rather than my say so.
1 month ago: It's 3 corona virus cases not great not terrible
Now: It’s not 3 corona virus cases it’s 15,000.
Ironically Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel once said “The only lesson that human beings learn from history is that human beings have not learned any lessons from history.”
Some people just ignore the risks repeating the mistakes again and more deaths inflicted by these mistakes.
Now 105,000 thousand confirmed cases in the US.
@@uorra3882 No way, did it actually jump from 105, 000 confirmed cases to 399, 929 cases in only one week?! Holy jesus!
@@Aaron.Garner US is seeing about 25,000 to 33,000 new cases each day with a huge backlog of tests awaiting results and to answer your question, no it took slightly more than that. It reached 100,000 mark on March 27th and it reached the 400,000 mark on April 7th that's about a week and half since hitting 100,000 figure. As of writing this comment on 9th April (early morning) it's at 435,000 cases, and 9th April's cases haven't been counted yet.
You'd think we'd stop making bio weapons in labs but unfortunately the world still does!!
No one expects the Spanish inquisition... i mean Flu...
Ian Lester Fabila *insert loud dramatic sound effect*
que pasa *surprise*
You missed the opportunity to say "No one expects the Spanish Influenza!"
Ian Lester Fabila Which does not mean they it could not happen again.
Our main weapon is fear and surprise!
The first cases of the outbreak were recorded in Haskell County, Kansas, and Fort Riley, Kansas, where young men were being hospitalized for severe flu-like symptoms. A local doctor sent a report to the Public Health Service, but no one was sent to investigate the situation.
Thank you for your comment. I get very tired of Americas blaming everything on China. Life here is not what your media suggests.
Meanwhile I’m in quarantine at home because of another pandemic - yet I’m alive! Woo, hope everyone is safe xxx
Great video to watch while you're sick with the flu :/

Rookie mistake...
The 1918 Flu didnt go for transmissions first so by the time it was lethal Greenland probably had their ports shut long ago #PlagueInc. ✌
Karo Zarza Goddammit Greenland!
Freaking Greenland always screwing with our plans!
Ruined the joke with the hashtag.
Greenland ruins your spreading and you feel like its rigged!!!! Sometimes...
Lmao
“Hopefully we’ll never experience another pandemic like the Spanish flu again.” Us in 2020 😷 “Mr. Stark, I don’t feel so well”
My grandma(92) just told me about the plague that happen just before she was born. I had to do some research to figure out which “great plague” she was referring to. Lol I was raised by my grandparents, who grew up in the Great Depression, and I have never been more thankful for inheriting their seemingly irrational hoarding tendencies. I’m now sewing masks from quilt scraps, collected by four generation of my family, for my friends and family working in the healthcare system. As an anthropologist, I just realized I should be recording a lot of this.😅
If you want to know more about this, there is an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING book all about this called "Flu: The Story of the Great Influenza Pandemic of 1918 and the Search for the Virus That Caused iT" by Gina Kolata. I cannot recommend it more!
Love seeing book recommendations in the comments! Thank you!
There is also a book a book that’s more for children but still a good book called “The Flu Of 1918: Millions Dead Worldwide!”, it’s a very good book.
I read a book about this, called “The Great Influenza”. It’s actually very detailed and gives a lot of information on viruses as well as some insight on the flu pandemic.
It is March 17, 2020, and international borders are closing. Tons are dead in Italy, and we are all self quarantined.
Just leaving a note for the future.
Kinda funny how this got recommended to me during this COVID-19 problem 🤣
It made me laugh just coz u have the personality of a wet towel don't bring me down I'm aware of ad algorithms...
Hey, if the scientists ever invent a Universal Vaccine, I suggest they come up with a catchy corporate name when they mass produce it. Just throwing it out there, I suggest they call themselves the Umbrella Corporation.
YES!
There is a real company called Omni Corp (same name as the evil corporation in RoboCop). Oddly enough it makes products for the film industry.
There are several companies that are as diversified as Umbrella is in real life. Thankfully none are as big.
Few companies have catchy names, it's probably to deter themselves from turning villainous because they would sound out of place in a James Bond film or Resident Evil game.
"MY GOD, THEY ARE EXPERIMENTING ON BABIES!!! TO CREATE SUPER MINI SOLDIERS!!
...GlaxoSmithKline will pay for this!!"
Rob Fraser yeah.
“There a new virus that was supposed to make you look younger but it turns you into a zombie. Lilly Pharmaceuticals is gonna pay! They must be stopped!”
Lilly just sounds like a poor name for an evil Corpration. Not exactly sinister sounding as Umbrella or Omni or Gatekeeper.
Umbrella .. because it's over everything 😉🧐🐰🙊🙈🙉😎🕸️🦉
War: Yep, global conflict. I'm gonna be the deadliest of the four horsemen this century.
Pestilence: Hold me beer.
And this is in my recommended during the coronavirus. Lmao

Scientists: **create universal vaccine**
Influenza: **dies**
Coronavirus: **ENTERS THE CHAT**
Aren't they're the same family of CORONAVIRUS eh?
@@freakdeath1020 From what I know, influenza viruses and corona viruses are from completely different families. Influenza are from the orthomyxoviridae family, while corona are from coronaviridae (don't know why the name of corona's family is so obvious, while the name of influenza's isn't).
Their respective genetic materials also don't work the same way. Corona viruses are positive-sense RNA viruses, which means their RNA can directly be used to produce more viruses. Influenza, on the other way, are negative-sense RNA, meaning they "need to do some steps" before multiplying (negative-sense RNA is almost useless to the ribosomes by itself).
There are multiple completely different viruses that can gives us a sniffle... Oh man...
what? are you ill?

Watching this mid March 2020 just as Coronavirus is starting to take over the US. Her words at the end, "Hopefully we never see a pandemic like this again." That stung. If only she knew what I know now.
From an epidemiologist, this is an excellent explanation of influenza! Spanish flu has so many interesting aspects. It was kind of a perfect storm.
Well, this is gonna be a fun 24 hours!
Step Back History hey Tristan!
Why is that?
Wat
You are everywhere about this flu!
yo
This is the flu that damn near killed my whole family. My great grandmother was literally the only one in her family to survive and she just barely made it.
Wow.
I've had the flu twice in my life. I remember both of them and they were miserable. My bones hurt... couldn't warm up. :-(
Almost exactly 100 years since the last pandemic. This video makes understanding COVID 19 a lot easier.
I would like the follow-up video to be about CRISPR, please. And next after that about nano-assembly. Then I think we're about good.
You should talk about the current "Aussie" flu that’s now spread to the UK. It’s a H3N2 strain and the vaccine has little effect. It’s caused a few hundred deaths in Australia and they fear it could lead to the worst flu pandemic in the UK in over 50 years
But, but why do you guys worry about being vaccinated against flu? I think as a child I had gotten them once or so but never since and I mean I cant imagine it being so bad as to actually die from it. I have never in my life once cared about the flu and didn't know that you actually had to be worried about getting it, it only has ever been an annoyance when I got it.
I was going to say the same thing. Current vaccine isn't working..its pretty worrying as we're all coming off the holiday with sicknesses of various types. Who's got the flu and forced themselves to work?
First I've heard of it here in Australia. Not sure if I should be proud or insulted. :p
surfie007 My dad got that cause he commutes to/works in Manchester. I don’t think I’m special but, I still spent time around him and didn’t get sick! Anyone know why? He’s still feeling down but that’s something else. He’s got ROIDS (Steds/Steroids) from the doctors but he can’t stop coughing!
It's not good. Killed people already in Ireland. Mostly, flu is a few days feeling really rough. This one is knocking healthy people off their feet for a week, then add in recovery time. Anyone with complications like pneumonia are in even more trouble (I've had pneumonia twice, not good).
thanks for recommending me this UA-cam :)
I have watched it in the lesson and am commenting. I just wanna say that this video taught me a lot like how important it is to getting adapted to the sicknesses
Morale of the story: Stay far away from other people.
Yo even the story losing its morale tho?

Imagine surviving SARS just to find out about coronavirus
SARS is a type of coronavirus. But yes it would suck to have to go through both SARS and COVID-19.
@@bellsy4622 I wondered if the similarity between Sars-nCov2 and the original is high enough for the first infection to confer at least some protection from the second. Sadly, as it turns out it wouln't matter since the sars outbreak was in 2003, far too long ago.
@@z01t4n The original SARS (SARS-CoV-1) and this Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) are too different. The first part of a viruses name describes what the virus does. In this case, both viruses cause severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). However, the structure of both viruses differ.
@@z01t4n what Brent said. Also the fact that the total number of infections were wayy too low, and about 11/18 or so countries had barely 3 or 4 cases to report. It was nothing compared to covid 19 (sorry I dont know the exact stats)
My grandfather was 8 years old and living in Illinois in 1918. In the span of two weeks the flu killed over 20 members of his extended family leaving him and his sister as orphans.
This pandemic must have been a worldwide nightmare.

Hi,
Do you want to trust the pharma industry in case of a global pandemic-panic? I have a healthy scepticism and am barely late with scheduling my own vacations.
Yours Fiona
DCED You have the antibodies to protect yourself from the disease you arent catching. But keep doing what you're doing superman
DCED
Good tuned immune system(
Between allergies and getting sick?)? Well vaccinated? Good hygiene? Well imunisised (early in life or trough a environment like hospitals, animals and daycare places)?
Setting aside the fact that the pharmacy industry works with the World Health Organization, the CDC, and other national and international organization that monitor the flu situation, what is your solution? A solution of bee spit and raw water, or whatever the alternative practitioners are marketing now?
That would have been really effective in 1918, I'm sure.
skepticism(sk) not (sc) is one thing, Trusting a defamed doctor and a playboy model is another
Thanks for the information!
Thank you!!!

“We’ll never experience another pandemic like this again”
Laughs in coronavirus
>hopefully we'll never experience another pandemic again

>This time it's not even the influenza virus
I keep thinking of the saying "Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
My family has a cabin, that my great grandfather built, in the small mountain town of Posey, CA. Posey has an awesome graveyard that we love to go investigate. In it, there’s a mass grave, with a rough gravestone marked by many names, or just “so and so Family,” “so and so Children”, and the list ends with “& more.” But it has no date. My uncle and I were insanely curious about what happened, and after doing some research my family believes the Spanish Flu is the most likely cause of the mass grave. Thank you for the great video!
Who's here after the corona virus outbreak?
John Smith I wish we could say after. More like during

This is the most 6:08 I've ever spent super informative video!

Corona: excuse sorry, what was that?!

A universal vaccine would be pretty dope
That's impossible with our current way of making vaccines.
Don't some virus mutate faster than vaccines can be developed?
Not how vaccines work
That isn’t possible because it would have to protect against every single type of virus and even if we did that then the viruses would just mutate and change or come up with some other defense mechanism. That is why HIV can’t have a vaccine because it keeps changing faster than scientists can fight the mutations.
Jillian Michelle I guess you’re smarter than scientists then
Let me be the random guy and say, yes I am here after Corona. Going back more scared than before.

How about a video on the "sinking ocean floor"?
Barystatic sea level rise.
I got H1N1 flu 2 years ago. I was sick for over 2 weeks and ended up in the ER. Was scary.

1918 flu was H1N1... wonder if it was the same one we had in early 2000s? Fascinating video.
YT Recommendations, you really know how to set the mood.
Hey, I have a question: With all the new devices that reads our faces and eyes, is it safe? I mean, safe for your eyes and skin been exposed to so much infrared light?
Apart from this episode, I've only heard of the Spanish Influenza once in my life; I learnt about it while reading the Twilight books, of all things.
Apparently Edward was dying from the flu, and Carlisle bit him to "save his life", or something like that. First and only time I've heard about the horrors of the Spanish Influenza, until today.
(Mind you, this was back in 2008, before the blockbuster movies, and almost no one knew the book series, thirteen-year-old me loved the books, don't judge).
It's so strange how we all talk about the first worldwide war, but almost never about the pandemic that scorched through the world at the same time. The discovery of antibiotics is one of the most life-saving pivotal points in the history of human kind, even though many people don't recognise it as such today.
My grandmother had the 1918 influenza when she was a child growing up in the tenements of the lower east side. She was nearly at the point of death, when a neighborhood Doctor was brought in on a house call and suggested that my great grandparents keep all the windows open and let her get as much air as possible even though it was winter. Well, it worked and she survived but it left her with a heart condition for the rest of her life. Bad times.
nice bit of foreshadowing at the end there
I remember the outbreak of the Swine. My ex got it it’s missed me for some strange reason at the time this happened
Super interesting to learn why it's the mother of all flus!
Yea, I would have thought that title would go to the bubonic plague.
Flintstoned the bubonic plague wasn't a virus
Jason Richardson Just noticed the OP said flues. I was thinking of what was stated in the video, which was pandemics.
Flintstoned the Spanish flue is what the video about not overall pandemics
Jason Richardson yes, yes it was. And?
I don't know if this was a conscious choice, but the slower pace to your delivery in this video is much better.
Kind of surprised there hasn’t been an uptick on views of this video.
