I live in the northern part of Italy, were the outbreak first started here, and I've left the house 2 or 3 times in the last month to only buy food due to the forced lockdown and it looks like it will be another three weeks before anything can start to move. Thank God I discovered this channel, it's honestly one of the best ones I've ever seen, great explanations and even better shirts. I've also just realized that it also talks about non-space stuff! EDIT: Didn’t expect this much support, thank you so much! We survived worse and we will survive this one as well, we underestimated the virus back in early February and we are paying for that mistake, but please LEARN from us instead of ignoring it. If things are done correctly and early enough, heavy measures like ours won’t be needed. Unfortunately on the news I see that more and more countries are ignoring the problem until it’s too late...
"RUclipsrs are doing a better job explaining this pandemic than the news media." wrote Lamin Touray. I have exactly the same feeling and I live in Barcelona, nowadays a ghost town. The authorities are a joke. We see cabinet ministers disobeying their own quarantine orders and measures, mayors partying in the streets while the majority of us are locked in our houses and actually observing the restrictions.
Yeah not all RUclipsrs know what they're talking about. If you see any of them telling you to shove a blow dryer up your nose because the heat kills the virus...please don't do that.
You are talking about it as if all this is an easy task for any authority to handle, we are talking about shutting down city populations to the millions and then get everyone to follow. This is not an easy task. And it doesnt make it any easier since in the west there is a culture of not believing in doctors,scientists or governments. So instead of calling them a joke you might wanna help them keep friends, family, or colleges informed and actually tell them and advice them not to go out.. So my point is stop acting like our authorities is ''your'' parents that needs to hold your hand and guide ''you'' to simple tasks, try and help them instead and lessen the burden that some people put on them right now for not following simple instructions.
@@kimpoulsen4163 the fact that you think people will listen proves you aren't American. These people are as dense as they come. Every bit of this is a political issue, not a public health issue. It's all dick riding Trump and dismissing the virus as nothing more than a flu. And spouting the same drivel about the economic consequences of a month or 2 of lockdown to save millions. It's a disgusting us vs them argument everywhere you turn. They're incapable of grasping overrun hospitals and millions of dead. They'll learn though, if the governments(local and federal) don't act soon.
That's because they think they have everyone fooled they focus on the coronavirus so they won't have to face the truth about the fraud and Madness they've created they figure they got this election and don't have to work for what the people have worked their life for they can go back to lying controling cheating.lies and every once in a while just throw a bone to the American people like Obamacare witch is Americas money and talk about lockdowns and how bad the coronaviruses is while they party down Americans don't dare ask any questions cause they play the game and just walk away It's easy to see where the swamps heart they doecare one bit for America
This kind of comment is what makes me cringe. Either you watch the wrong news, you never actually watch news, you just never pay attention to it. Or you just some edgy kids.
It’s confusing when you’re in the think of it. It makes a lot more sense when you have something to compare it to than just having a bunch of numbers thrown at you. Context matters.
there was a certain tone of seriousness that existed in this video that doesnt usually exist so strongly in your other videos... what really got me was how you didnt say "I really hope you enjoyed this video" etc... Interesting perspective... love your work.

Thank you Paul. I'm an Italian (and a subscriber) living in quarantine in Rome, and I can therefore testify to how important it is to provide quality information during this time of crisis. Take care and stay at home.
I love the phrase “Best Practices known at the time” Doing everything right doesn’t always guarantee an outcome you want Decisions made at the time are reliant on the information they have available. A successfully averted Pandemic is indistinguishable from an Overreaction
That last line is something I've heard a lot recently. "A successfully averted pandemic is indistinguishable from an overreaction." Not enough folks seem to have the mindset of a Scout: Be Prepared. If you're ready for the worst then you can only be pleasantly surprised if it doesn't come
This is also the difference between cartoon, or maybe also real villains, and professionals. A villain will kill you for failing, whether success is possible or not. The army, if you fail by following your training and orders, will reward you for trying anyway, though it might be posthumously. So there are two right ways. One where you succeed by blind luck or godlike knowledge, or one where you do things by the book. Since blind luck is rarely distributed to all, and godlike knowledge is even more rare, professionals empathise the following of orders.

In march I passed the information in this video to family members, some accepted it and some disbelieved but some got so angry with me they would not talk to me for months, they finally came around and forgave me after some 9 months when everything I passed on came true, I guess a lot of people are so scared of the truth that they just can't handle it. Every fact in this video became terrifyingly correct, but try to never fall into the trap of punishing or ignoring the messenger.
I’m a nurse in the US and I found this to be accuate, well presented and informative! I have subscribed to your channel based on this excellent video! Keep up the good work!
Right off the back, it wasn't accurate. Saying this has 20 times the mortality rate of the flu is a flat out farce. The 3.6% mortality rate told to Congress was for people in intensive care. Influenza's 0.2% mortality rate is for all infected. I've heard numbers as high as a 10% mortality rate for people in intensive care due to the flu. Shame on this channel for adding to the panic by spreading misinformation.
@@Noneofyourbusiness2000 after reading your post, i went to the WHO site - 19-mar-2020. Situation report #58 Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) 18-March-2020 the pdf states: Globally - 191,127 confirmed, 7807 deaths i do understand confirmed is less than actual. be careful and stay healthy
Jon Its not a face. Do the math....0.2% to 3.6% is 18 times greater mortality. The influenza mortality has also been reported as 0.1% so that would make this 20-40 times greater depending on the death rate that is being examined. This is not misinformation AT ALL. It has been a concern within the US because our middle aged Americans typically have comorbities such as diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, obesity, etc. ALL of those increase the mortality rate of middle aged Americans without even discussing our elderly. This is some of the most accurate information that I’ve seen put out by anyone.
@@docrock9011 what don't you understand? The influenza mortality rate is for all cases, and the covid 19 mortality rate is for confirmed cases only. Just like with the flu, with covid 19 the majority of those infected don't need medical attention. Only a small percentage get confirmed. Hospitalized flu victims also have a higher mortality rate than hospitalized covid 19 victims.
I know you get alot of comments. I just want to personally thank you for increasing my knowledge of the pandemic. This was very knowledgeable based on the information at the time. I wish you the best, good luck and good health.
Hate to say it, but David is right. We don’t know the CFR for Spanish Flu (which BTW is NOT the last global pandemic - that would be HIV/AIDS, then Hong Kong Flu, then Asian Flu, and THEN Spanish Flu). We also don’t know enough about the denominator to estimate the true CFR for coronavirus. Oh, and for the love of God, the common cold isn’t a freaking coronavirus. That’s a very small list of things he got wrong. So frustrating!

I did actually read somewhere they think population will actually start to decline as birth rates are dropping world wide below even the 2.1 per couple needed to replace people that are alive today. But Africas birth rates are well above anyone else so they will continue to populate there.
Birth rates are falling all over the world, just look at Japan’s demographics and that give you good insight in what is to come. In fact it’s a bit coincidental that this virus is killing off the old, since in a few decades there will be more seniors than new borns, causing all sorts of economic issues.
By any measure, this is undoubtedly the best general presentation on SARS-CoV-2 I've seen (assuming it is accurate, of course, but I trust you). I especially appreciated your interleaving background information on the Spanish flu pandemic to place the current pandemic in a proper context. I'll be sending it to many others. You are a gifted narrator, communicator, and RUclips creator. I will certainly purchase a membership to support the channel whenever I enter better financial straits.
beautiful balance of hard facts and germane, cogent comentaty. most videos, even from the us cdc, are inflammatory and uninformative. or the videos of idiots going on vacation because covid is 'over hyped'. well done you on balance, information and a cool calm delivery. in honor of you i will go wash my hands. 😄

As a young man in ‘79 I drove my grandmother home from my fathers. On the way she told me stories of her life and grandfathers. He went overseas to fight the “ kaisers Huns”. She stayed at home and was a 16 yr old nurses assistant “candy striper” fighting the Spanish flu. All the sick people and the deaths. How horrible it was and all her relatives and friends who died. She never became sick and wondered why. Grandfather caught it in France but only mild case. I always wished I had recorded our conversation. And fill bad because I really only really wanted to hear about grandfathers War experience so most of my questions was about him. I really only now know how Brave she truly was. And would love to have heard more about it. Rest In Peace Grandma I might see you soon
My niece who works in a doctor's surgery has caught it, she,s 30 and fit but she says it's knocked her on her arse, scary times ahead for ALL of us, if your in a lockdown please stay in.
@playlists yet the virus is still there... Once in, everything you are talking about isn't valid anymore. If you truly believe this is a virus that spreads during incubation, and for which most are untested but would be carriers.
Sadly, his research is lazy on this one. We don’t know the CFR for Spanish Flu (which BTW is NOT the last global pandemic - that would be HIV/AIDS, then Hong Kong Flu, then Asian Flu, and THEN Spanish Flu). We don’t even really know how many people died (the range in estimates from historical sources is laughably wide). We also don’t yet know enough about the denominator to estimate the true CFR for COVID-19. We will never be able to truly compare them in the manner in which he thought he could, because we’ll never be able to make confident statements to that level if detail with Spanish Influenza. Oh, and for the love of God, the common cold isn’t a freaking coronavirus. That’s a very small list of things he got wrong. I’m very annoyed by this, because there are worthwhile lessons from Spanish Influenza, but they’re buried by lazy crap like this.
I LEARNED MORE... watching your short video than watching hours of "News." Can you PLEASE do an episode summing up the Coronavirus and also add information about how long it lasts in the air, and on different types of surfaces? Keep up the great work! Stay healthy Brother!
Don't wanna spoil it but some results just surfaced that the virus can live up to 5 days on some surfaces and many hours in air fluctuation due to its micro size.
Sgt. SLaughter who cares how long it survives where. What’s important right now: Avoid people, wash your hands thoroughly and often, don’t touch your face, and stay healthy with good nutrition and exercise if possible.

sad that i learned more about the Coronavirus in a RUclips video, then what i have learned in the traditional media. Thanks for doing their job correctly and continue doing a great job.
Not much but quite a lot about Spanish Flu. Potential for mutation is not discussed much in MSM. Videos like this are demonitised as RUclips want to push people to get info from MSM preferably state controlled like Bbc
@@bennylofgren3208 It's in the RUclips TOS. Category of demonetized video: Controversial issues and sensitive events Subjects demonetized: "Armed Conflict Death Global health crises Tragic events Terrorist acts" However, RUclips has announced that they intend to review certain channels for monetization regarding the subject. However, in the meantime, they will be blocking more videos than normal, including videos that do not break TOS.

@@thejupiter2 how about hydroxychloroquine's ability to stop covid19 from self replicating and is in phase 1 trial now Or that I learnt from dr.

Maybe that's right things to do. Our government just laugh and don't care few weeks after the outbreak. They even try to cash in by giving discount and encourage the foreign traveler to our country. Its Indonesia BTW Guess what now we have tons of unreported case and the highest case to fatality ratio because lot of the patients show up at the hospital already in terminally ill condition thanks to lack of discipline. People are sent home to minimize the disease but guess what they go to the beach and have a picnic instead. Combination of Government incompetency and lack of public awareness and discipline. But still massive thanks to the front line fighters the medical personnel and the epidemic task force.
Just remember that the deaths lag behind the infections by a couple of weeks, so even after complete lock down we will see exponentially increasing deaths for a while before the effects of the intervention are seen.
had pneumonia once...kept working in damp cool conditions , then got a virus that combined with poor health, it spread to my heart mussel......no matter how stubborn and stupid , the heart mussel must keep working. so to those who have mild symptoms, it might be a death sentence to others, so please take care for others......please
Great video again Please Stay Home Stay Safe Use gloves and mask wash you hands Stay away from groups of people I'm from Bulgaria we are in state of emergency with less than a 100 sick people and many in quarantine at home I wish all good luck in that harsh time
I'm a math guy (take that as you will). Tonight, I dug up an old assignment from a differential equations course and briefly considered making a video about it. It was a basic population model dealing with the spread of disease. And even though I've been struggling to make any regular content recently, I held off. The reason is that it would be far too easy for the numbers that I post to be misinterpreted. What worries me now is that there are plenty of people (many who can't even solve a basic quadratic) who have more of a forum than I ever will. And many are far less discerning about pumping self serving or miss-leading information. I guess I'm preaching to the choir here. Because if you watch this show, then you appreciate hard data. But if you see someone yelling about conspiracy theories, try to set them right. Those ideas are a disease in of themselves. Thanks Droid
After watching Contagion, conspiracy theorist is what I fear the most. Especially considering how dumb and edgy some Internet influencer are in real life. They might help spread the conspiracy disease much further
As a (poorly) recovering math head married to a retired nurse and the father of another nurse, I can say math is only awkwardly suited to modeling the path of the disease. There are too many poorly understood and documented variables. For example, in China the disease appeared as a very serious condition with a Case Fatality Rate of more than 20%. Recent hot spots in China display CFRs under 1%. A couple of the factors are severity on presentation (early ones got really bad before they sought or found treatment), awareness of contagion, and aging; delayed deaths from organ damage is only noted after time goes by. Finally, we don't even know _all_ the variables. Certainly human behavior, which will almost certainly shift with location, information, and aging, and government actions (and the landscape on which those decisions act) will carry the weight.
Math minor, CS major - which means I know how to use computers to make mathematical mistakes very quickly.. Kidding aside - the quick and dirty models I've put together are disturbing. I'm not suggesting panic. Quite the opposite. Panicking is the worst response. BUT... do treat this as serious. Because it is, and the U.S. administration's efforts are late, and inadequate on every level.
@@flagmichael I agree. But when used honestly, disease modeling is better then the homeless guy at my local McDonalds. There are plenty of people with opinions, and loudest ones are not the necessarily the best ones to listen too.
Great job. You were already one of my favourite channels.. I thought I knew quite a bit about the Spanish flu and covid, but your exact figures and interpretation were an eye-opener on many fronts. Thanks!
Thank you for a sane summary of the relevant facts. I can find no particular fault with the information you presented. Highly unusual for a RUclips video in these circumstances.
I found only one that I know of. He stated at 5:21 that the common cold is also caused by a coronavirus, which is incorrect. The common cold is actually caused by the rhinovirus, although the coronavirus can produce symptoms similar to the common cold.
@Mycel They're not closely related at all. The closest relation rhinovirus and coronavirus have are in the Phylum. That's pretty high on the classification, meaning they're very different. I don't know how closely norovirus is related, though i'd have no imagine not very close at all.
@@JOBoarder27 The term "coronavirus" will likely turn out to be like "fish" in that it's more of a colloquial handle than a precise clade identifier. A virus that resembles a corona outwardly is essentially a coronavirus in the vernacular. That's how I'm taking it anyway. Many of the earliest germs to be identified were named after their appearance under the microscope when we couldn't possibly know the first thing about precise genomic relatedness.
@Mycel I'm not sure it's useful to expect precise figures on any of this to be honest. It's useful to make relatively honest comparisons because all historical data being compared will likely contain similarly imprecise data points which may have taken on the appearance of being hard facts once committed to the record. In the ongoing dynamic situation, we can't really trust the data from most sources to be *precisely* true because there will be differing interpretations and counting rules for what constitutes a case and how thoroughly a population was scraped for the sample data. Then there are the issues of outright lies and covering up of some facts and the lack of reasonable testing programs. Don't test - don't tell is rampant. Actual deaths and numbers of hospitalized patients are at least pretty hard to fake outright because there are actual bodies and patient records. I worry more about false comparisons between numbers that do not represent the same meaning being tossed around. When one event is at least an order or two of magnitude more deadly than another yet people misrepresent this truth in the reverse because the wrong columns of data are being charted for comparison then I take exception. Whether (for example) the true R0 is 6.7 or 7.1 (or 20) is less important now than comprehending that the other virus' R0 was only in the range of 0.1 (or 0.01 by some charts) to 0.2 or even say 2.0 for argument sake. The *precise* values are less critical for now than the "truth" *accuracy* in portraying the relative scale of the danger.
@@puirYorick Can't argue with that, I'm a programmer not a molecular biologist. I'm really not sure how much biologists factually know about virus classifications and relations.
What makes the Spanish Flu worse than COVID-19 is the 10% mortality rate vs the 2-3% mortality rate for Covid-19. What makes Covid-19 worse is that it had a symptomatic people, and everyone who had the Spanish Flu had symptoms.
Not really. The technology we now have, and our ability, to help keep people from dying, is orders of magnitude better than it was with the (American) Spanish flu. Imagine what the death rate could have been with literally 100 year old technology. 25 year old medical technology sucks pretty bad compared to today TBH, I'd rather not face a pandemic with what they had a century ago. Look at tetanus. While few get it now thanks to vaccines, right before the tetanus vaccine, an average of 580 people got tetanus and an average of 472 died. That's a nasty death rate. Today, we average 33 cases a year, but only 2 deaths. It's impossible to say which is actually worse, given modem technology, but if we didn't have it, I bet the death rates would be close.
@@lordgarion514 the amount of American lives we’ve lost in 9 months due to Covid-19 is about the same amount of American Lives the Spanish Flu claimed in October 1918
@@michaelstocker8880 That's an absolutely irrelevant little factoid. Here's the "treatment" for the 1918 flu. "In 1918, as scientists had not yet discovered flu viruses, there were no laboratory tests to detect, or characterize these viruses. There were no vaccines to help prevent flu infection, no antiviral drugs to treat flu illness, and no antibiotics to treat secondary bacterial infections that can be associated with flu infections." blogs.cdc.gov/publichealthmatters/2018/05/1918-flu/ In other words, you laid in a bed and they waited to see if you died. They didn't actually do much of anything. Today on the other hand.........
@@michaelstocker8880 Oh yeah, a lot of modern techniques about handling a pandemic, were figured out during the 1918 flu. Things like social distancing, masks, closing schools and businesses, etc And thanks to not also packing millions of people inside factories, and millions more inside military bases, like they did because of WW1 going on at the same time, those lessons learned are helping slow the spread of covid-19. Which kept our hospitals from running out of beds and equipment, so all those meds and equipment we now have could be used on everyone that needed it. Like I said before, take away our modern technology, and the death rates will probably be very close.
Great presentation but there’s a minor error in terminology. Technically speaking, the virus is called SARS-COV-2 and not COVID-19. Many people mix up the terminology but the actual virus is SARS-COV-2, which stands for “Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome COronaVirus 2” and the name of the disease that it causes is called COVID-19, which stands for “COronaVIrus Disease 2019” So SARS-COV-2 is the virus that causes the human disease, COVID-19. It’s similar nomenclature to the HIV/AIDS system. HIV is the name of the virus that causes the disease, AIDS.
and our products dont forget that, now if only we could advance past the alcohol only based antibacterial hand sanitizer to say degreaser and salt/surfactant hybrid for dehydrating cells like a virus after clustering around them in micelle formations, so they can wick moisture out of the cell between the surfactant chains through capillary action, to be absorbed by the salt attached to the other end, and end up with a substance that wiping down a counter or wiping on hands sticks around to keep killing virus and bacteria until removed or completely saturated by organic cells so there is no more room to destroy them, instead of just evaporating and thats it, time to reapply, another one is the fibers in masks, why are they just plain dry, why is there nothing to bond the virus and anything else we want to filter out, so they dont just bounce around between them until they get inhaled or exhaled from the mask considering how much smaller the virus we are talking about now, is compared to the gaps, and while we are at it include something that will destroy their cellular walls in that oil or other sticky substance to coat the fibers with, (also liking the salt added to allow it to dissolve in small droplets and such, then when the moisture is evaporated at the high speed it does, you get sharp crystaline shapes that the cells get cut up on, theoretically according to the canadian researchers reporting on that research they are apparently doing. )
not only that but people were a hell of a lot more independent back then. I would say the only thing we really have going for ourselves at this point is the fact that we're taking this s*** relatively seriously early on and the vaccines are already in early clinical trials.
Thank you tremendously. Far more depth, sincerity, and measured calm and seriousness placed here than everyone else complaining about it. It's time to focus on what's going on and be alert but confident. Have a great day, and thank you again.

Yes There are the L and S strains. The S strain stayed in Wuhan and its deadlier. The L strain is what causing the pandemic and is the "less" deadly of the two.

Paul, this is one of the most important and informative presentations you have given us. All of us are impacted by this pandemic worldwide. This was a concise comparison and history of these two pandemics. I guess we now know how the people in 1918-1920 were feeling when the Spanish Flu hit.
I don't understand why is it so difficult to follow safety guidelines. I am not an essential worker, but I have been working throughout the "lock down." I am the only one in the office and, so it is safe. I am one of the lucky ones, so no complaints. But, to see so many people eager to sit at a restaurant or go to the mall is bewildering. **SMH** We need to remain consistent and strong, adhere to the safety guidelines and take all necessary precautions for as long as it takes. I have accepted that this may take years. Stay safe, everyone, I hope you, your loved ones and your community remain healthy throughout this pandemic. Sending virtual hugs & kisses... xoxoxox
I don't see the sensible reasons why people always comment on "How bad could Covid 19 be compared to Spanish flu?" "We are making big fuss about it". The scariest part of it is that most people have shown mild to no symptoms and didn't realise that they are carrier until it was too late to be saved. And once again, please appreciate on the strict measures putting into place compared to the days of spanish flu, when the human kind have limited knowledge and harsher conditions to deal with it.

@Him Next Door cancer diabetes and arthritis are not spreadable conditions also Spanish flue is influenza rather than a coronavirus in the same way the seasonal flu is different to the common cold
Jake Anderson I gave it a thumbs down because much of it is incorrect. For example, the stated 2.5% CFR for Spanish Flu is an incredibly rough estimate. We have no idea exactly how many people actually got infected. Hell, the estimates of how many died range between 20 MM and over 50 MM. I love this channel, but this is lazy research.
Other things that are wrong (this list is not exhaustive): -The common cold is not a coronavirus. -Spanish flu is NOT the last global pandemic. Asian Flu and Hong Kong Flu would like a word. As would HIV/AIDS. -We have nowhere near enough data to estimate the denominator in COVID-19’s case fatality rate. This is so frustrating, because the dude uses all the right language to sound like an authority. But he’s spreading misinformation.
@ Confused, I looked back and realised I wrote flu by mistake. My bad, hitting 3am here. My point was that it's hard to consider this COVID-19 as much of a threat when in 1 year it killed barely 2.5m and without vaccine, worldwide it is likely to not ever reach even double that, ever. It has killed barely 0.03% of the world population and likely would never reach 0.05%, without outside intervention. For comparison, heart disease kills almost 8 times this number, yearly, and is climbing rapidly. Cancer yearly takes around 10 million and this is also on the increase. As for how many died of the flu, hard to say. The figures are jacked all around. Based on your attitude, I have the opinoion that it's unfortunate that you weren't among them.
Very well done Paul. In an age where mainstream news outlets tout opinion as fact, it's refreshing to watch something about Covid-19 that's based on the facts and fugures and not on an 'experts' opinion. Right now, we need sensible and reasoned information and that's what you just delivered.
You seem to forget that those mortality numbers don't take into account what are likely to be a far larger number of undetected or unreported cases, making the true mortality rate significantly lower. However, it is still clearly dangerous and intensely virulent.
When (and I hope not) infection rates go through the roof, it could easily kill more people than the Spanish Flu. Once hospitals are overwhelmed and just giving up on the old so that someone younger could take the hospital bed the death rates could climb from 1% all the way to 5%. This of course thanks to modern medicine, hygiene, knowledge etc, makes it probably much less than the Spanish Flu death rate. But in terms of lethalness, I seriously think it's right up there. If we don't really really take this serious, this could be absolutely horrible.
Aisha Abdi just because they didn’t test all the mildly infected people don’t mean they weren’t infected. You just need to look at Germany. Death rate at 0.4% so far. It will go up but it’s not 4.4% if hospitals aren’t overwhelmed.
Dear Mr. Shiilito, a personal and heartfelt thanks for your admirably researched and presented video documentary on the novel Coronavirus. It is hard to find a number of correct and well presented information about the Covid-19 illness as in your work. I believe that the majority of the viewers will agree that you are doing a great service to the community, for which you deserve the most sincere commonal THANKS!
firm believer Bozo Chump calls the virus “Chinese Virus” but he has always been a racist, so that’s no surprise. Sadly, he chose to ignore the “hoax” for 2 months.
Thank you for a really informative, non-hysterical breakdown of the situation. More somber delivery serves to underlie the importance of taking this seriously. This should be broadcast rather than the panic-mongering pap the MSM is churning out 24x7
Outside of the epidemiological, etiological, and pathological papers being generated by the professionals within the fields of medical science, this is so far, the most informed and concise presentation I have seen so far. Thank you.
I am glad you adressed the people that keep saying more people die from the common flu. More than 2 months ago there was already enough research done and data collected on the new virus, that it was obvious it is deadlier than the common flu. But because so many people dont understand basic math, they kept comparing two different numbers: Total deaths of the common flu versus the death rate of the new virus. I have tried to explain this to my own family, and even they just dont get it. Its infuriating.
I've read history books for entertainment for most of my adult life(I'm fun at parties, I know). These types of events are the kind of things that brings civilizations to their knees. They can break the entire social order and drastically reshape the world we live in. The 1918 pandemic, although largely forgotten because it coincided with WWI, led to woman working in factories more and more, and eventually paving the way for the woman's suffrage movement. We are are on the precipice of a new world order.
@@anandananda2277 Possibly. Though I wonder what's going to be left of the global economy after all this. It may not be all roses and sunshine at the end of this.
Used this for week 1 of "distance learning" of my U.S. History class. The Spanish Flu pandemic killed more Americans than WWI, yet we brush over it. Thanks for this video!
@@DarkShroom I am amaxed that over 100 years has not dented the publics willingness to believe wartime propaganda. I suppose you still think German soldiers threw Belgian babies up and caught them on bayonets?
Bitchute is better than RUclips Jesus is that the real number for it? My god if that’s right we are in a whole lot more trouble than I thought it we were in.
I learned so much more from this video in 14min04sec than ovver the previous months it's gobsmacking, you should be our daily update man for the government. Thank you, take care.
The answer is that it doesn't compare at all other than, the world's response was identical. The Spanish flu killed at least 50 million people and had some very painful symptoms. Most victims’ bodies turned blue-black as they died. Healthcare workers reported appalling scenes, with delirious patients suffering horrific nosebleeds. “Sometimes the blood would just shoot across the room,” a navy nurse recalled. If their lungs punctured, the patients’ bodies would fill with air. “You would feel somebody and he would be bubbles… When their lungs collapsed, air was trapped beneath their skin. As we rolled the dead in winding sheets, their bodies crackled - an awful crackling noise which sounded like Rice Krispies when you pour milk over them.”
Great job, compiling the comparison, man! Thank you! One more thing to note: only the severe cases of covid19 are getting tested now. One with minor symptoms won't get a test. Which means, the mortality rates from this pandemic is grossly exaggerated. One of the few nations that tested everyone heavily was South Korea, and there it's less than 1% mortality.. seems like a more reliable piece of data than all the hype in the media.
I live in the northern part of Italy, were the outbreak first started here, and I've left the house 2 or 3 times in the last month to only buy food due to the forced lockdown and it looks like it will be another three weeks before anything can start to move.
Thank God I discovered this channel, it's honestly one of the best ones I've ever seen, great explanations and even better shirts. I've also just realized that it also talks about non-space stuff!
EDIT: Didn’t expect this much support, thank you so much! We survived worse and we will survive this one as well, we underestimated the virus back in early February and we are paying for that mistake, but please LEARN from us instead of ignoring it. If things are done correctly and early enough, heavy measures like ours won’t be needed. Unfortunately on the news I see that more and more countries are ignoring the problem until it’s too late...

"RUclipsrs are doing a better job explaining this pandemic than the news media." wrote Lamin Touray. I have exactly the same feeling and I live in Barcelona, nowadays a ghost town. The authorities are a joke. We see cabinet ministers disobeying their own quarantine orders and measures, mayors partying in the streets while the majority of us are locked in our houses and actually observing the restrictions.
Yeah not all RUclipsrs know what they're talking about. If you see any of them telling you to shove a blow dryer up your nose because the heat kills the virus...please don't do that.
You are talking about it as if all this is an easy task for any authority to handle, we are talking about shutting down city populations to the millions and then get everyone to follow. This is not an easy task. And it doesnt make it any easier since in the west there is a culture of not believing in doctors,scientists or governments. So instead of calling them a joke you might wanna help them keep friends, family, or
colleges informed and actually tell them and advice them not to go out.. So my point is stop acting like our authorities is ''your'' parents that needs to hold your hand and guide ''you'' to simple tasks, try and help them instead and lessen the burden that some people put on them right now for not following simple instructions.
@@kimpoulsen4163 the fact that you think people will listen proves you aren't American. These people are as dense as they come. Every bit of this is a political issue, not a public health issue. It's all dick riding Trump and dismissing the virus as nothing more than a flu. And spouting the same drivel about the economic consequences of a month or 2 of lockdown to save millions. It's a disgusting us vs them argument everywhere you turn. They're incapable of grasping overrun hospitals and millions of dead. They'll learn though, if the governments(local and federal) don't act soon.
Now we know where Nancy Pelosi got the bright idea to visit a beauty parlor during the lockdown from.
That's because they think they have everyone fooled they focus on the coronavirus so they won't have to face the truth about the fraud and Madness they've created they figure they got this election and don't have to work for what the people have worked their life for they can go back to lying controling cheating.lies
and every once in a while just throw a bone to the American people like Obamacare witch is Americas money and talk about lockdowns and how bad the coronaviruses is while they party down Americans don't dare ask any questions cause they play the game and just walk away It's easy to see where the swamps heart they doecare one bit for America

This is also the difference between cartoon, or maybe also real villains, and professionals.
A villain will kill you for failing, whether success is possible or not.
The army, if you fail by following your training and orders, will reward you for trying anyway, though it might be posthumously.
So there are two right ways. One where you succeed by blind luck or godlike knowledge, or one where you do things by the book.
Since blind luck is rarely distributed to all, and godlike knowledge is even more rare, professionals empathise the following of orders.

True that!
That's because this is a holistic historical summary. News media has different priorities to report on, and many of those are immediate current events and impending happenings. They're not comparable
At least people with the Spanish flu didn't decide to travel all over the world and spread it to as many people as possible
That's what happened though. Admittedly through troop movements instead of vacation, but it still happened.

Right off the back, it wasn't accurate. Saying this has 20 times the mortality rate of the flu is a flat out farce. The 3.6% mortality rate told to Congress was for people in intensive care. Influenza's 0.2% mortality rate is for all infected. I've heard numbers as high as a 10% mortality rate for people in intensive care due to the flu. Shame on this channel for adding to the panic by spreading misinformation.

after reading your post, i went to the WHO site - 19-mar-2020.
Situation report #58
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) 18-March-2020
the pdf states: Globally - 191,127 confirmed, 7807 deaths
i do understand confirmed is less than actual. be careful and stay healthy
@@tomsan7742 Confirmed is extremely less than actual, especially in this case where the symptoms can be minor or not even present in the infected.
Jon Its not a face. Do the math....0.2% to 3.6% is 18 times greater mortality. The influenza mortality has also been reported as 0.1% so that would make this 20-40 times greater depending on the death rate that is being examined. This is not misinformation AT ALL. It has been a concern within the US because our middle aged Americans typically have comorbities such as diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, obesity, etc. ALL of those increase the mortality rate of middle aged Americans without even discussing our elderly. This is some of the most accurate information that I’ve seen put out by anyone.
@@docrock9011 what don't you understand? The influenza mortality rate is for all cases, and the covid 19 mortality rate is for confirmed cases only. Just like with the flu, with covid 19 the majority of those infected don't need medical attention. Only a small percentage get confirmed. Hospitalized flu victims also have a higher mortality rate than hospitalized covid 19 victims.

Birth rates are falling all over the world, just look at Japan’s demographics and that give you good insight in what is to come.

Guess what now we have tons of unreported case and the highest case to fatality ratio because lot of the patients show up at the hospital already in terminally ill condition thanks to lack of discipline. People are sent home to minimize the disease but guess what they go to the beach and have a picnic instead. Combination of Government incompetency and lack of public awareness and discipline. But still massive thanks to the front line fighters the medical personnel and the epidemic task force.

I'm a math guy (take that as you will). Tonight, I dug up an old assignment from a differential equations course and briefly considered making a video about it. It was a basic population model dealing with the spread of disease. And even though I've been struggling to make any regular content recently, I held off. The reason is that it would be far too easy for the numbers that I post to be misinterpreted.
What worries me now is that there are plenty of people (many who can't even solve a basic quadratic) who have more of a forum than I ever will. And many are far less discerning about pumping self serving or miss-leading information. I guess I'm preaching to the choir here. Because if you watch this show, then you appreciate hard data.
But if you see someone yelling about conspiracy theories, try to set them right. Those ideas are a disease in of themselves. Thanks Droid
After watching Contagion, conspiracy theorist is what I fear the most. Especially considering how dumb and edgy some Internet influencer are in real life. They might help spread the conspiracy disease much further
Did anyone see what happened to "pyropulse"? That user left a comment and then deleted it. I just wanted to know what the point was.
As a (poorly) recovering math head married to a retired nurse and the father of another nurse, I can say math is only awkwardly suited to modeling the path of the disease. There are too many poorly understood and documented variables. For example, in China the disease appeared as a very serious condition with a Case Fatality Rate of more than 20%. Recent hot spots in China display CFRs under 1%. A couple of the factors are severity on presentation (early ones got really bad before they sought or found treatment), awareness of contagion, and aging; delayed deaths from organ damage is only noted after time goes by. Finally, we don't even know _all_ the variables. Certainly human behavior, which will almost certainly shift with location, information, and aging, and government actions (and the landscape on which those decisions act) will carry the weight.
Math minor, CS major - which means I know how to use computers to make mathematical mistakes very quickly..
Kidding aside - the quick and dirty models I've put together are disturbing. I'm not suggesting panic. Quite the opposite. Panicking is the worst response.
BUT... do treat this as serious. Because it is, and the U.S. administration's efforts are late, and inadequate on every level.
@@flagmichael I agree. But when used honestly, disease modeling is better then the homeless guy at my local McDonalds. There are plenty of people with opinions, and loudest ones are not the necessarily the best ones to listen too.

Great job. You were already one of my favourite channels.. I thought I knew quite a bit about the Spanish flu and covid, but your exact figures and interpretation were an eye-opener on many fronts. Thanks!
Thank you for a sane summary of the relevant facts. I can find no particular fault with the information you presented. Highly unusual for a RUclips video in these circumstances.
I found only one that I know of. He stated at 5:21 that the common cold is also caused by a coronavirus, which is incorrect. The common cold is actually caused by the rhinovirus, although the coronavirus can produce symptoms similar to the common cold.
@Mycel They're not closely related at all. The closest relation rhinovirus and coronavirus have are in the Phylum. That's pretty high on the classification, meaning they're very different. I don't know how closely norovirus is related, though i'd have no imagine not very close at all.
@@JOBoarder27 The term "coronavirus" will likely turn out to be like "fish" in that it's more of a colloquial handle than a precise clade identifier. A virus that resembles a corona outwardly is essentially a coronavirus in the vernacular.
That's how I'm taking it anyway. Many of the earliest germs to be identified were named after their appearance under the microscope when we couldn't possibly know the first thing about precise genomic relatedness.
@Mycel I'm not sure it's useful to expect precise figures on any of this to be honest. It's useful to make relatively honest comparisons because all historical data being compared will likely contain similarly imprecise data points which may have taken on the appearance of being hard facts once committed to the record.
In the ongoing dynamic situation, we can't really trust the data from most sources to be *precisely* true because there will be differing interpretations and counting rules for what constitutes a case and how thoroughly a population was scraped for the sample data. Then there are the issues of outright lies and covering up of some facts and the lack of reasonable testing programs. Don't test - don't tell is rampant.
Actual deaths and numbers of hospitalized patients are at least pretty hard to fake outright because there are actual bodies and patient records.
I worry more about false comparisons between numbers that do not represent the same meaning being tossed around. When one event is at least an order or two of magnitude more deadly than another yet people misrepresent this truth in the reverse because the wrong columns of data are being charted for comparison then I take exception.
Whether (for example) the true R0 is 6.7 or 7.1 (or 20) is less important now than comprehending that the other virus' R0 was only in the range of 0.1 (or 0.01 by some charts) to 0.2 or even say 2.0 for argument sake. The *precise* values are less critical for now than the "truth" *accuracy* in portraying the relative scale of the danger.
@@puirYorick Can't argue with that, I'm a programmer not a molecular biologist. I'm really not sure how much biologists factually know about virus classifications and relations.
What makes the Spanish Flu worse than COVID-19 is the 10% mortality rate vs the 2-3% mortality rate for Covid-19. What makes Covid-19 worse is that it had a symptomatic people, and everyone who had the Spanish Flu had symptoms.
Not really.
The technology we now have, and our ability, to help keep people from dying, is orders of magnitude better than it was with the (American) Spanish flu.
Imagine what the death rate could have been with literally 100 year old technology.
25 year old medical technology sucks pretty bad compared to today TBH, I'd rather not face a pandemic with what they had a century ago.
Look at tetanus. While few get it now thanks to vaccines, right before the tetanus vaccine, an average of 580 people got tetanus and an average of 472 died.
That's a nasty death rate.
Today, we average 33 cases a year, but only 2 deaths.
It's impossible to say which is actually worse, given modem technology, but if we didn't have it, I bet the death rates would be close.
Oh, and flu has a very high asymptomatic rate. Some strains of the flu have up to a 50% asymptomatic rate.
@@lordgarion514 the amount of American lives we’ve lost in 9 months due to Covid-19 is about the same amount of American Lives the Spanish Flu claimed in October 1918
@@michaelstocker8880
That's an absolutely irrelevant little factoid.
Here's the "treatment" for the 1918 flu.
"In 1918, as scientists had not yet discovered flu viruses, there were no laboratory tests to detect, or characterize these viruses. There were no vaccines to help prevent flu infection, no antiviral drugs to treat flu illness, and no antibiotics to treat secondary bacterial infections that can be associated with flu infections."
blogs.cdc.gov/publichealthmatters/2018/05/1918-flu/
In other words, you laid in a bed and they waited to see if you died. They didn't actually do much of anything.
Today on the other hand.........
@@michaelstocker8880
Oh yeah, a lot of modern techniques about handling a pandemic, were figured out during the 1918 flu.
Things like social distancing, masks, closing schools and businesses, etc
And thanks to not also packing millions of people inside factories, and millions more inside military bases, like they did because of WW1 going on at the same time, those lessons learned are helping slow the spread of covid-19.
Which kept our hospitals from running out of beds and equipment, so all those meds and equipment we now have could be used on everyone that needed it.
Like I said before, take away our modern technology, and the death rates will probably be very close.
Great presentation but there’s a minor error in terminology.
Technically speaking, the virus is called SARS-COV-2 and not COVID-19.
Many people mix up the terminology but the actual virus is SARS-COV-2, which stands for “Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome COronaVirus 2” and the name of the disease that it causes is called COVID-19, which stands for “COronaVIrus Disease 2019”
So SARS-COV-2 is the virus that causes the human disease, COVID-19.
It’s similar nomenclature to the HIV/AIDS system. HIV is the name of the virus that causes the disease, AIDS.
It's called Kung Flu Virus

Yes, our medical knowledge and resources are greatly improved in the last 100 years. But more people also moove faster around the globe.
and our products dont forget that, now if only we could advance past the alcohol only based antibacterial hand sanitizer to say degreaser and salt/surfactant hybrid for dehydrating cells like a virus after clustering around them in micelle formations, so they can wick moisture out of the cell between the surfactant chains through capillary action, to be absorbed by the salt attached to the other end, and end up with a substance that wiping down a counter or wiping on hands sticks around to keep killing virus and bacteria until removed or completely saturated by organic cells so there is no more room to destroy them, instead of just evaporating and thats it, time to reapply,
another one is the fibers in masks, why are they just plain dry, why is there nothing to bond the virus and anything else we want to filter out, so they dont just bounce around between them until they get inhaled or exhaled from the mask considering how much smaller the virus we are talking about now, is compared to the gaps, and while we are at it include something that will destroy their cellular walls in that oil or other sticky substance to coat the fibers with, (also liking the salt added to allow it to dissolve in small droplets and such, then when the moisture is evaporated at the high speed it does, you get sharp crystaline shapes that the cells get cut up on, theoretically according to the canadian researchers reporting on that research they are apparently doing. )
Kristian Fagerström he literally explained that point in the video several times.
not only that but people were a hell of a lot more independent back then. I would say the only thing we really have going for ourselves at this point is the fact that we're taking this s*** relatively seriously early on and the vaccines are already in early clinical trials.

Spanish Flu is proof there’s a downside to shouting “First”
The Spanish flu came in waves. The ones that had it the first two years didn't have the third strain which is the one which wipes everyone out
I don't understand why is it so difficult to follow safety guidelines. I am not an essential worker, but I have been working throughout the "lock down." I am the only one in the office and, so it is safe. I am one of the lucky ones, so no complaints. But, to see so many people eager to sit at a restaurant or go to the mall is bewildering. **SMH** We need to remain consistent and strong, adhere to the safety guidelines and take all necessary precautions for as long as it takes. I have accepted that this may take years. Stay safe, everyone, I hope you, your loved ones and your community remain healthy throughout this pandemic. Sending virtual hugs & kisses... xoxoxox
I don't see the sensible reasons why people always comment on "How bad could Covid 19 be compared to Spanish flu?" "We are making big fuss about it". The scariest part of it is that most people have shown mild to no symptoms and didn't realise that they are carrier until it was too late to be saved. And once again, please appreciate on the strict measures putting into place compared to the days of spanish flu, when the human kind have limited knowledge and harsher conditions to deal with it.

@Him Next Door cancer diabetes and arthritis are not spreadable conditions also Spanish flue is influenza rather than a coronavirus in the same way the seasonal flu is different to the common cold
Jake Anderson it’s just bots
Jake Anderson I gave it a thumbs down because much of it is incorrect. For example, the stated 2.5% CFR for Spanish Flu is an incredibly rough estimate. We have no idea exactly how many people actually got infected. Hell, the estimates of how many died range between 20 MM and over 50 MM. I love this channel, but this is lazy research.
probably the anti vac people :/
Other things that are wrong (this list is not exhaustive):
-The common cold is not a coronavirus.
-Spanish flu is NOT the last global pandemic. Asian Flu and Hong Kong Flu would like a word. As would HIV/AIDS.
-We have nowhere near enough data to estimate the denominator in COVID-19’s case fatality rate.
This is so frustrating, because the dude uses all the right language to sound like an authority. But he’s spreading misinformation.
American here 3.5 months later: Paul was right.
@ Less than cancer or heart disease, cool
@
Confused, I looked back and realised I wrote flu by mistake. My bad, hitting 3am here.
My point was that it's hard to consider this COVID-19 as much of a threat when in 1 year it killed barely 2.5m and without vaccine, worldwide it is likely to not ever reach even double that, ever.
It has killed barely 0.03% of the world population and likely would never reach 0.05%, without outside intervention.
For comparison, heart disease kills almost 8 times this number, yearly, and is climbing rapidly.
Cancer yearly takes around 10 million and this is also on the increase.
As for how many died of the flu, hard to say. The figures are jacked all around.
Based on your attitude, I have the opinoion that it's unfortunate that you weren't among them.
Very well done Paul. In an age where mainstream news outlets tout opinion as fact, it's refreshing to watch something about Covid-19 that's based on the facts and fugures and not on an 'experts' opinion. Right now, we need sensible and reasoned information and that's what you just delivered.
You seem to forget that those mortality numbers don't take into account what are likely to be a far larger number of undetected or unreported cases, making the true mortality rate significantly lower. However, it is still clearly dangerous and intensely virulent.
When (and I hope not) infection rates go through the roof, it could easily kill more people than the Spanish Flu. Once hospitals are overwhelmed and just giving up on the old so that someone younger could take the hospital bed the death rates could climb from 1% all the way to 5%. This of course thanks to modern medicine, hygiene, knowledge etc, makes it probably much less than the Spanish Flu death rate. But in terms of lethalness, I seriously think it's right up there. If we don't really really take this serious, this could be absolutely horrible.
Aisha Abdi just because they didn’t test all the mildly infected people don’t mean they weren’t infected. You just need to look at Germany. Death rate at 0.4% so far. It will go up but it’s not 4.4% if hospitals aren’t overwhelmed.
No wonder why people don't panic here in Spain. It's like nothing to us.
Not panicking is good. Its not a bad thing.

I am glad you adressed the people that keep saying more people die from the common flu. More than 2 months ago there was already enough research done and data collected on the new virus, that it was obvious it is deadlier than the common flu. But because so many people dont understand basic math, they kept comparing two different numbers: Total deaths of the common flu versus the death rate of the new virus. I have tried to explain this to my own family, and even they just dont get it. Its infuriating.
Its irresponsible to compare these right now

The answer is that it doesn't compare at all other than, the world's response was identical. The Spanish flu killed at least 50 million people and had some very painful symptoms.
Most victims’ bodies turned blue-black as they died. Healthcare workers reported appalling scenes, with delirious patients suffering horrific nosebleeds. “Sometimes the blood would just shoot across the room,” a navy nurse recalled. If their lungs punctured, the patients’ bodies would fill with air. “You would feel somebody and he would be bubbles… When their lungs collapsed, air was trapped beneath their skin. As we rolled the dead in winding sheets, their bodies crackled - an awful crackling noise which sounded like Rice Krispies when you pour milk over them.”
Great work as always. Extremely informative and digestible.
Great job, compiling the comparison, man! Thank you!
One more thing to note: only the severe cases of covid19 are getting tested now. One with minor symptoms won't get a test.
Which means, the mortality rates from this pandemic is grossly exaggerated.
One of the few nations that tested everyone heavily was South Korea, and there it's less than 1% mortality.. seems like a more reliable piece of data than all the hype in the media.
