Deadliest Plague of the 20th Century: Flu of 1918
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2018
- Historical documentary about 1918 Swine Flu or Spanish Flu and the role of World War I in spreading the disease among troops making it into a worldwide plague of devastating proportions. The video covers where it began, how and where it spread, the symptoms, how it affected America and whether it could happen again. The music is “Blood and Ivory Keys” by 19between. Used with Permission. Video is under exclusive copyright of Chromosome8.
In 1918 my Great grandmother was 18. She was sent out to a tiny village on the border between Poland and Russia where she was working for food and shelter, as she was a half orfant not treated well at home.
When people began dying she cared for her landlords, later for those who lived close. One day, when last villagers died, she took a cart and horse and drove back home on her own. She released the horse far from her home village and walked back home forbidding anyone to come close. She lived in the barn for weeks, refusing contact with anyone. She survived, never falling sick.
Died at 99, surprisingly healthy for her age.
Thank you for sharing!! What a sweet, kind, wonderful Grandma!!
Wow. She even socially distanced herself. Beautiful story. Thank you for sharing 💗
She was a truly heroic and compassionate lady.💟
She was definitely a survivor and understood the need for quarantine. Bless her sense of humanity.
@@marylousherman5471 oh yes, great survivor- saw the flu, two world wars, return on my great grandfather from war after two years from its end, being on her own with two daughters all that time, Russian army walking in to the country, then communist regime in Poland. We used to call her the Iron Lady as she was holding us with a strong fist even 700 km apart. She decided to die one day as seen enough and lived enough. Went to bed and let herself to go after a few months.
And we’re here complaining about staying home with food, electricity, WiFi, water, etc and those had to fight a war and a virus at the same time, we’re a selfish generation...
our own home are better then ending up in a overwhelmed hospital
Remember our Grandparents fought in Wars, all we're being asked to do is sit on our asses and watch Netflix... To protect them
What i think to i was not even alive in those days
@@donniseltzer7718 I agree

Gotta love how this documentary, made 4 years ago, ends: “could this happen again?”
The only difference is covid-19 was not a natural virus like the spanish influenza virus was. And the spanish influenza was way more infectious,it had an R-0 of 100 compared to covid-19 R-0 was 7.
@@IDGAF56852 this is incorrect. The Spanish flu had an R0 of around 2-3. This is the same R0 of COVID when it first emerged, but since then it has continuously mutated to become more infectious, with some estimates saying the R0 is 18.6 (which makes it more than measles), but it’s difficult to estimate it’s actual R0 due to population immunity. This virus is behaving differently than the flu
@@adede233 after Covid first came on the scene for a few weeks hospitals were saying people died from Covid even when they actually died from something else. They had to keep their numbers up.
@@dadeleemurphy85 In my state, Alabama, approx 1 in 230 people have died from Covid. How bad does it need to be?
@@dadeleemurphy85 It has still killed more than WW 1. 18 million and counting. Spread by moronic mask less working class as before, but not always, and airplanes. Mainly dem good old deathplanes. We learned fuck all from the Spanish flu. If the death spreading mask less youth had fucking died instead of the middle aged and elderly, maybe the history books could have creaked open. I doubt it.
"The way we respond to the next epidemic could be the difference between life and death"
I'd say you nailed it on that one
now put that mask back on!
@@christophercross4325 Never took it off, or the face shield as well. Cost a right pretty old penny but no regrets. Or death, or long Covid. Of which there is an ample plenitude in my dear old land.

My grandfather died from this flu. He was only 28 years old. It left my 2 year old father and his baby sister fatherless and financially destitute. I never got to meet my grandfather as I wasn't born till 36 years later. This event changed the entire future history of my family. And if this wasn't bad enough my dad had to face the great depression, World War II and becoming a disabled veteran. It was a very dangerous stretch of years....1918 through 1946
Your Dad is obviously a strong, resilient man. To go through all of that shows an incredible amount of strength. I thank you for his service. You come from good stock ! You should be very proud.
@@lburns7952 Thank you for your kind words. Yeah, my dads life was rough but not to leave my mom out of this.....she was one of 13 (yes thirteen) children living through the great depression as well. She just passed away at 96 years old. Her father, my other grandfather actually lived through the 1918 flu. I was told he stated that had had never been so sick in his life and thought he would die.
Truth Stalker you poor poor victim
Oh I’m so sorry
@Truth Stalker You're assuming that his g-whatever-parent was a Southern slave owner; how big(goted) of you. He may have been an abolitionist, a Yankee soldier, or even a soon-to-be immigrant.
My great grandmother and her two daughters both died from this flu back then in Greece. It left my grandmother behind as an orphan😢. Her father and brother never returned from war, presumably died. She was raised by her uncle and aunt .. and later married my grandfather the most wonderful and handsome man, they had 7 children..one passing away at 2 yo. He soon died of starvation during ww2 😢, leaving her a widow with 6 kids, my mum one of them. I am named after that grandmother who lived to be 87🥰 and never complained once in her life, such an angel🙏..Everyone please stay safe from viruses. 🙏
God bless you my love. Sorry for your loses.
Thank you for sharing. Great way to make it real
Tough woman
Archelaos Archon however it went they all died from something very tragic don’t be so rude sheesh 🤦🏽♀️
@Archelaos Archon Why is there always ONE who HAS to argue...who HAS to be right?....ie. YOU? !!!
True story. My great Uncle Pete contracted the Spanish Flu and was sent to a city hospital in New York City. The hospital was bursting at the seams with flu patients and it was the dead of winter. To free up beds asap, the staff would put dying patients out on the fire escapes and wait for them to die. Well, one morning my Uncle Pete woke up to find himself lying on a fire escape. He began banging on the window to be let back in. He was a scrapper, Uncle Pete.
Actually was not spanish at all but an American flu born in Kansas USA 🇺🇸
OUR OWN GOVERNMENT UNLEASHED IT ON US💔🤬😡🤬😠😡
@Mohamed Epstein Technically you are kind of correct, however there are certainly no lies surrounding this as you claim.
The virus erroneously called the Spanish 'Flu caused a significant degree of immunosuppression, causing opportunistic/secondary bacterial infection of the lungs leading to pneumonia.
The bacteria involved were from resident colonies typically found in the nasopharynx (nose and throat).
So yes, many people did die of bacterial pneumonia, a secondary infection and complication of viral influenza, but again no deception or conspiracy involved.
The information is readily available is historical public health records. Also bear in mind that once the rate of deaths escalated, all clinical services were completely overloaded, consequently the issuing of death certificates waned and no more autopsies we’re performed. There could have been any number of causal factors.
Whilst records were maintained, bacterial pneumonia was the predominant cause but other complications such as renal failure were also on a statistical list of around 10-12 primary causes of death.
Is it true that the number of death due to Spanish Flu is larger than the number of death due to Covid?

My grandfather was a medic in WWI. He tended to the Spanish flu victims and the wounded in the mud filled trenches. Friends from his hometown of Youngstown Ohio would pass away right beside him. It is a miracle he survived. He suffered the rest of his short life with shell-shock, PTSD, insomnia and nightmares. He came home and worked in the Carnegie steel mills. He died aged 47, far too young. My Dad was just 14, and had to go to work to help support the family.
Heroic father sister.
HEROIC FAMILY EILEEN HETHERINGTON YOU ARE RIGHTFULLY PROUD OF THEM SISTER!!!🌺🌺🌺🙏🙏🙏🇨🇦🇮🇱♾️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🦅🗽‼️
Who's watching this because of the whole Whuhan thing?
People today really have no concept of how bad things like this can get.
ye
This actually came across my suggestions due to a video I watched about the Wuhan Coronavirus but I was born in an age where we learned about all these outbreaks. Unlike today, people really have no clue how bad t hings can get, but how strong we are as a people working together to find cures. I think it's good for those who aren't aware of past illnesses to learn through great documentaries like this one because it helps them to understand not to believe a lot of the manipulative hype we see in the media as well.
There is no need to panic about these outbreaks unless you are in direct contact with areas associated with them for the most part. We have come a long way with technology and we will find a vaccine for the Coronavirus

@@laughinghawk8522 Remember, Swine Flu is almost as same as Spanish flu, except it didn't mutate. Also it was way less infectious thanks to people's public health and being careful. It wasn't though easy to do this during war, while men had to go to fight against one another with likely chance to never be alive.... or healthy again.
Anyone else binge watching documentaries about this stuff while stuck inside? Crazy situation huh.
centuries of causiative disasters without distance. Always until it's too late.
Looks like history, I mean, people didn't learn the history lesson! Yes Mark, this is crazy and scary! 😳
Yes an it's freaky 🙏
Yep. These are very revealing.
Yep...
My poppy was born in 1918, I’m so glad he survived this. My great grandparents must’ve been so scared when this happened.
I’d be scared too if a lot of people died in front of me.
@Ω͎ poppy, my grandfather
@Ω͎ no his name was Harold. I just always called him poppy.
Depends... if they were stupid republicans they would have said it was fake news.
My grandfather was born 1897. My mom said that when she asked him one time about the Spanish Flu he said that he didn't know about it and it really wasn't even talked about at the time.
History sure repeats itself. Well documented and narrated.
Military had to get( V*A*X). & They all got sick
Yeh and the Spanish flu was no different. Ie it wasn't the flu that killed people.
Wow. This is how documentaries should be made. More facts and historical photos and less dramatic reenactments.
And no crazy background music.
SeaMonkey137 some people like drama...
@@Guitcad1 Very good points and I concur on all. I'm nowhere near conversant on the relevant data so I wasn't likely to catch any of the issues you noticed. Data integrity is a whole other area of concern for "documentaries" and I generally react strongly to its misuse, particularly if there's evidence of intent to mislead. But as you point out, the occasional misstatement of figures or visual anachronism is generally forgivable.
are you by any chance american? because those things are a staple of american documentaries from my experience.
By chance, would you be speaking of American documentaries? I have seen American documentaries, that have been aired there, that have a lot of reenacting. Truthfully, the reenacting was not a problem with me. But the embellishing, blatant falsification, and exaggeration, really bothered me.
"History doesn't repeat itself, people repeat history."
soo true!
That’s the same thing
Actually it's not.. History isn't a thing.. It can't do anything.. Its a record of events... People create history. Not the other way around.
Heavy.
jason lewis people are history so it is the same thing.

We all have to die of something eventually
Must have been unvvaaxxed. Nobody lives that long with poisons injected into them.
Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.
The only thing we learn from history is that we never learn from history.
History does not repeat itself, at least exactly. But we can certainly talk about repetition of trends and patterns. :)
The vaccine is what caused it. And you are right.
@@haymaker710 Yep Covid 19 is a perfect example of not learning anything from the Spanish Flu.
@@Deep.Purple
The vaccine caused it??
Are you an anti vaxer by chance??
My grandmother was pregnant with my uncle when she contracted this flu. Even though 75% of pregnant women died, she and my uncle survived. They lived in Chicago.
My father had a 7 year old sister who died of this flu & my grandfather(mother's father)the family took a bottle brush, wrapped it with some cloth & jammed it down his throat to help him breathe & that is what saved him & he lived until 1970!!!!!
@@RonSafreed- They did have effective ways of doing things then. Glad he was saved!
@@travelhog- Chicago was a wonderful place in 1918.
Good. I am GLAD, for that.
@@RonSafreed Wow !!
never cared a day about Spanish flu. Barely knew about it

Sarah Nowhere in my comment does it say I don’t care about history. Get a sense of humor.
If you like audiobooks there are a lot of very good ones. My favorite is Spillover. How viruses from the wild jump from animal to humans. You should check it out.
Kristan, Spanish flu was in 1918, it killed people in as little as 12 hours, caused spontaneous bleeding from mouth, nose eyes ears and complete shut down of body. TREMENDOUSLY more deadly and contagious. See the RUclips VIDEO on it.
We are all like that. We always believe this can't happen to us.
at least you are honest. most people act like their irrational responses are acceptable, maybe even norrmal.
My Grandmother, then 22 caught it and withstood it. She told me many people including children died it from it. I remember colds never affected her, as she had developed powerful defenses, she could walk in the rain, and get all wet and it did not affect her at all.
your grandmother is a legend✨
Wow extraordinary!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️
I'm the same way, It's as though I don't catch a cold until every 8 -10 years,I use to try to catch a cold,by going barefooted,No jackets on outside in the cold,I even walk in the snow one time sleeveless and no shoes on, Still not one sniffles! That was back then in my younger days! Even though I'm 51 years of age now and still don't catch a cold, I'm very careful not to test faith, Especially with this COVID-19 Mess 😲😔🙏🏾🙏🏾
Don’t catch cold from rain
good for your grandma but walking in the rain and getting wet has nothing to do with getting a cold. The cold is viral so someone has to be carrying the virus for others to get sick. If you live all alone in Antarctica you will never get a cold even if you go swimming in freezing waters or stand naked in the middle of a blizzard. Thats is why the safest place on earth during the worst first days of covid (March-April 2020) was ironically aboard the last cruise ships still sailing like the MSC Magnifica. They set sail on January 5th and because they had no contact with people outside the ship it returned to port with not even one case of COVID on April 20
14:54 "When the driver died he got off the streetcar and walked home." It's a miracle!
Excellent documentary, by the way.
Who’s “here” because this video’s been suggested a dozen times and they finally decided to check it out?? I must know!!

GREAT DOCUMENTARY. Just the explanation by a polished narrator, no music drowning out the words, no real people droning on about their experiences. An A++ to this poster.
True
Smooth narrator
Much better this way I'd prefer if more were like this, just the facts laid bare.
The flu took my grandfather which I never knew my dad was only a year old always wondered what his dad was like I heard it was so bad they couldn’t bury people fast enough. The coffins were stacked high up in cemeteries.
Very nice documentry... No loud theatrical music is what i liked d most.

I think the saddest thing about this video is that something of this magnitude, still wasn’t able to bring humanity together. This should have been the moment when we realized that we really need each other, but nope. After miraculously surviving this devastating ordeal, we went on to have the civil rights movement, more wars, atomic bomb, Middle East conflict, etc. I just don’t understand what it is going to take for us to stop hating each other.
this makes me want to cry
dont know how you figured that when the best chance for survival was to STAY AWAY from each other but whatever
Yes Ma’am !!!
God have mercy . Forgive us.
May we see our ways and change for the better.
Yes!!!🙌🙌

The "Spanish Flu" that wasn't a flu (bitchute.com)
@@PYTHAGORAS101 even when the world's top scientists say vaccines don't cause autism, many anti vaxxers argue that they do cause autism. Even when top scientists and researchers give very convincing explanations for UFOs flying over people's heads they (people who belong to your community) say they are aliens without considering their (scientists) explanations. And you belong to the same category's of people. It was a flu, we have its genomic sequence right in our hands and have the technology to sequence it which confirmed that it was a flu. But, you are blindly saying that it is not a flu without considering the established facts. This clearly indicates that your are a fool. You dismiss well established facts and propose your own theories. I hate the people who come from your community. People who come from your community including you should be stigmatized and discriminated.
@@srinivasareddy257 You have been listening to bias vaccine scientists and i don't believe in aliens from outer space.
Due to RUclipss censorship it is very hard to find unbiased reports about vaccine dangers.
As far as i am concerned there is no such things as pandemics OR vaccines.
@@PYTHAGORAS101 I didn't say that you believe in aliens. I said you are the type of person who dismisses facts and believe in conspiracies and UFO enthusiasts are like that. As far as you are concerned you don't believe in vaccines and pandemics so, this clearly proves that you are an anti vaxxer and conspiracy theorist. Please think scientifically. The reason we are so advanced is because we studied science. All the inventions we made all the breakthroughs we made are a result of science. So please believe it. Believe what the scientists say.
@@srinivasareddy257 I accept REAL science and I am wise enough to know the difference between pseudoscience and actual real science.
The REAL science says that vaccinations have never protected anyone from any disease and they have caused more injuries, suffering and deaths than every war combined. In fact the whole field of medicine is structured to not heal people but to ease symptoms and prescription medication is the number one cause of deaths in the western world. Sure I am ANTI VAX and for proper reasons . I am not a so-called conspiracy theorist just because I am aware of conspiracies happening or have been done. The so-called mainstream media are a bunch of liars and that is a fact. OOOOOWW conspiracy theorist you tout, well fuck you.
I question everything and I leave no stone unturned till I find the truth/facts. I also subscribe to many honest professional researchers and I educate myself every day.
Your faith in vaccines is going to get you killed and THAT is the TRUTH.

Probably because when you did in to it, the official story is full of holes and lies. There was no virus or flu, there was a mass poisoning via vaccination. Research it.

@@redharvest8981 Man repeats history because most people are too ignorant/stupid/LAZY to define their reality from a more wide perspective based on what happened in the past and what those lessons were and what they led to. Most people only define themselves and their entire world from what they see NOW. If you point out worrying and disturbing trends to them they just ignore it because they assume *everything* they have is always going to be there - it's all to be taken as granted.
"If you truly look at history for every kingdom for every country for every government the only future it holds is destruction they destroy themselves with in greed , power , ext." This is only true for some countries, not so for others. Some countries are currently investing heavily in green energy and to become "energy self-dependent" in the future. Naturally such a green energy project is expensive and costs the tax payers a lot of money but it's far wiser than spending a fortune on arms. Other countries have taken very little steps into moving away from fossil-fuel based energy. Those will be in the sh*tter in the future once fossil fuels will be scarce and very expensive to extrakt. The countries who looked a little further will be able to make this switch into self-sustaining energy with way less problems.
Some countries have invest a lot into their population, their education and their health. These countries generally trust their governments. Why? Because they obviously care for them and makes their lives better. Countries in which their governments have lied to them again and again or actually controlled by powerful corporations and financial powers have little support among their population.
Even banks in some countries are better prepared for "bad days" than those of those countries who make high risk loans and have big profits as driving forces.
You say for EVERY country. That is wrong. You probably haven't studied too many countries. Some are indeed only building for war and greed. Others are far more focused on internal stability and long term goals having a step by step strategy.
So true
Knowing history isn't going to help. How many times have there been a pandemic and not once have they thought or started building a plain for it. Besides it's a real good scare and control tactic. Georgia guidestones said to keep it under 500,000,000. We gotta cut the numbers some how

might get worse yet
Dont bet on it.

@@Tom-ld9hp Yes, it was a strange flu in that young health adults 20-40yo were the most likely to die from it. Survive WW1 at age 19 & die of the flu at age 20.
I recall as a young boy in the 60s, walking through the cemetery where most of our family are buried and seeing numerous head stones with 1918 as the year of death and the deceased being both young and old. It was some years later that l read about the great flu epidemic throughout the world in that year and made the connection.
This was as tragic as the war itself and even more so because the enemy was invisible and non predudicial.
"...the way we respond to the next epidemic could be be a matter between life and death".
Truer words had never be spoken.
Very informative and interesting documentary. I really enjoyed watching this video. I subscribed. This is one of my favorite subjects. Excellent voice and narration. Great photo footages and poems. A gem of a documentary of the swine flu of 1918.

@Hannah Dyson:
No, it would never have. Sure, we would have had outbreaks worldwide, but we would not have had the mass panic and the needless loss of millions of jobs.
What we needed to do from February onward was mandate face masks worldwide, sanitized and implemented the physical spacing measures.
It’s so nice to read your compassionate comment in this crazy mad world. 💙💙

Thank you for this. Certain people are getting slammed for preparation, but how many times has a sars, mers, bird, etc. that starts in Asia and barely makes a blip on the map here?
I appreciate this so much ! Will be sharing !
@@lisas44 and the reason it was only a blip in the US? Because other governments responded quickly and appropriately.
Profound.
@@Allyourheroswenttohell From Business Insider: "The CDC shipped 90 test kits to state public health labs on February 6 and 7. By that point, the US had only confirmed about a dozen coronavirus cases, including two cases of person-to-person transmission." Now were there problems after that, yes. Also didn't help that in late February, Nancy Pelosi encouraged people to come out and celebrate Chinese New Year. And folks in downtown Atlanta didn't take the stay at home order seriously and people use Walmart for social hour.
This was very well presented. Thank you for posting.

And yet president want us to go back to work ASAP
@@SG-tf1fx Yes, On Sunday the President was talking about extended self isolation, schools staying closed for the rest of the year and so on. I don't know who discussed what on the hill but, by the next day he was talking about how we were going to try to get everyone back to work and we were going to beat the virus sooner than expected. Then came those words I knew were coming. He said that America was not built to close down and businesses and the STOCK MARKET were going to be better than ever. It's all about the money once again. That's why the Bible says, THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL. When you love money more than anything or anyone else, bad things are bound to happen. Continue to pray and listen to God and our National Health Advisors. I will continue to self isolate. Think about it. The 2 men Health Advisors were not at the speech given last night and the President would not say why. This is getting really scary but, My faith and hope rest with God.

Australia being geographically isolated was the last to be affected by this flu. We are today among only a few countries (most are islands) that've been spared high mortalities.
False. It was "a moderate level seasonal 'flu". This is the truth -- "The Poisoned Needle" by Eleanor McBean, N.D., Ph.D. (available as free download). Also described on a current doctor's website.
Thanks to Gladys in NSW the virus spread and made a mess of the state. Also Hazzard is hopeless but still they have their high paid salary. 2021
Over 100 years later and thousands of people are dying from lack of sufficient medical equipment/resources in Italy and around the world. Guess we haven't come as far as we thought.
"Socialist" states are faring so much better, but in America it could collapse their entire society
About 1.5 million Americans have Corvid 19, tomorrow it will be 3 million, the day after that 6 million
2% of 330 million is 6.5 million americans about to die, that's the BEST case scenario. If the real death toll is 8% we are talking 26 million dead, and if it MUTATES into something even more Deadly...
Americans sat on their privileged hands and the clock just ran out, well, I wish I could say it's been fun USSA 👍
Not only that,but some kind of vaccine should've been developed YEARS AGO just in case of another PANDEMIC such as the CORONAVIRUS,just hard to understand...

@@user-em8yy1dl7s They're not teaching about the holocaust now, either. That impedes them indoctrinating the kids to socialism. There's no decent reason for any history to be skipped over, it's all important. If our children learned true history, we wouldn't have the mess we have now.
James: The idea that "schools" are supposed to teach EVERYTHING is asking way to much of them. I've been an avid READER since I was in grade school, and I'm 65 now. I have ALWAYS had a card from my local public library and use it weekly. Sorry, but people who think "schools" should teach people everything and they don't take responsibility for learning, as an adult, frustrate me. "Learning" should be a lifelong thing. But, I guess you can't "teach" intellectual curiosity and you can't teach people that learning should never stop.
After watching this, I can say with 100% certainty that most people don’t realize just how absolutely horrific the Spanish Flu of 1918 was... 🤯
And you did?
@Kasey Because it was not a Spanish Flu...It was a US Flu...that Wilson decided to name it so after Spain sounded the alarm about how US sick soldiers on their way to fight in Europe were sick with an epidemic...If they would have taught this in schools they would also have to add and explain why this was allowed to happen by the president...He knew about it but kept it under the rugs because there was a Congress election going in in the middle of his second term in office...But his party lost both, the House and the Senate...His cover up of the truth did not help his party win...Conservatives won

In the Uk Thosaunds were ofiically recorded in the UK although it was higher and only a few hundred dead . Most young people had underlying health conditions who were dying or of the BAME community.
Most youngsters were getting better at home . Tamiflu wasnt needed.
There was a theory some cross immunity was acquired from great grandparents surviving the 1918 pandemic.
If anything they were trying to reassure younger people at the time that the risk was low .
My grandfather caught the flu in France during the Great War. He lost his hearing. He received a pension and he wore hearing aids for the rest of his life. He was a great man.
Sorry to hear that he went deaf, but glad he came home. I had a great uncle who survived gas and wounds only to die in France on 11/10/1918. He had just written to his mother that he was getting better, then suddenly just died. We think it was the flu.
You may have just made a comment that could explain something,my grandad was very poorly after the war,he was in a sanitarium.He caught Spanish flu but pulled thru,he was dead,and couldn't speak well.I put it down to his injuries,when I was born,I too was deaf,grandad and I were inseparable,we sort of made our own thing up to communicate.I know realise the lovely old boy was possibly dead because of the flu.He died in the 70's.but had been in and out of Claybury,a mental institute a few times,as he had what we today call PTSD.I still have the shell case that caused the explosion in the Trench that killed his mates to.They all joined up together in London,grandad lied about his age.He was 15.They all so wanted to fight for their country.A whole generation nearly wiped out.So glad I read your post.Thank you.
I just learned that those who were not treated with newly recovered Aspirin, ( 100 times more than needed) mostly survived!!!! Important, that overdosed Aspirin stopped hearts beating!

Wow, my great grandfather was a soldier who lost his leg in WWI and he lived in Philadelphia, attending Trinity College. I am surprised to hear that Philadelphia was the worst hit, that must have been a terrifying time.
Philadelphia was hit very hard due to a parade that was allowed to go ahead despite warnings. 200,000 people attended and by the end of the week every hospital (I think about 30 in total) was over capacity.
Yes it is

How my grandfather survived WWI, going to France, serving on the front line, not getting wounded, or sick still amazes me. He chewed and smoked and lived to be 76.
My great grandpa is 101,and yeah he survived by drink alcohol ,and he also carried the people who had the flu.
At the age of 17 my grandfather was rescued from a trench in France. He was in shock and lying on the rotting bodies of all his comrades. They had been mustard gassed. He lived to marry and have five children. But my mother always said 'he was not quite right'. I wonder why.
Same my grandfather fought WW1 and smoke 40 cigaretes a day and die at 76 . Hope for his genes

Douglas Wiencek. It wasn’t bad luck that we have an destroyer of a central government & incompetent even at his shameful corruption (remember the perfect phone call ? Telling FBI Director in his first few months how he’d like the talk about Russian interference in out just past election to “go away “ This guys was the 3 stooges of corruption all by himself ) it happened BECAUSE the way it did precisely because. Donald trump destroyed the CDC and many safeguarding agencies that would have happened “everywhere else” just like the last 5 under 3 different administration. This isn’t partisan. Sure in general Democrats invest more n federal programs which include the preventative safeguards Trump dismantled entirely But that’s the point. No responsible leader with half a brain who reads books which trump does not do. ... would have dismantled the CDC center for disease control. NO LEADER in 100 years would have forgotten his or her #1 job. to protect the citizens of this country from the influx of war and disease. Make no mistake about it. This is Donald Trump legacy. His virus. It was no luck at all that a country could forget what we had to lose but this country did. But the good luck is the difference between losing 5% or the population with an absolutely useless federal government (he’s fired every singles position in his admin and replaced the secretary 3 there’s no expertise. Trump assigned individuals to head up committee Ss whose record showed a career of trying to destroy its existsnce. This was all surrreal enough until it became life and death in early March ) and losing 30-45% of the population has this been a deadly virus. Deadly as in affecting everyone with or without existing conditions equally That diagnosis is basically a death sentence within 72 hrs. However these strains would be harder ton carch and to spread Corona spreads by air and stays potent on inanimate surfaces for hours or even daysbdeoendinf on surface but corona attacks the lungs in a slower bless aggressive way that enables healthy strong people to sustain life until it runs its course. Can you imagine what we’d be going through to had this virus been a killer because even harder to catch this president woukd have done precisely what he didn’t do for months after any other would have. So a deadly virus would have spread in this country. So that’s the good luck. The lesson of Donald Trump we only have to have for two months of a virus and whatever time we have left until his term is through and a virus that the majority of people can sustain life well it takes it’s course that’s a good news if this virus was not an action is a virus happened because of Trump He owns every life lost and the decades it will take or economy to come back from what might resemble the Great Depression of 1926. These tend to happen after an illness ravages every facet of an economy in a nation. No more asking what do we have to lose unfortunately we found out and but we had it easy so we are going to survive Next time it won’t happen because we will ever elect another trump. Not for a century anyway. Iif tgr planet lasts half that long. Live for today.

The only difference now is that the technology in which information is delivered has advanced.
All I'm saying is we don't know and belief is the enemy of knowing.....we have no way of knowing. The one thing we do know is that the system we live under is parasitic and the people pulling the strings are psychopaths.
