The flu was the first modern plague-turning our interconnected world against us by spreading through shipping lanes, rail lines and the arteries of industrialized war. Yet it was also the first pandemic of the scientific age, where doctors could to some extent understand what was happening and stand against the infection, though they lacked the tools to stop it.

The flu has killed more people this winter.
My grandmother died in 1918 from this. My mother never knew her. Mom was 14 months old when she died. Her father told mom that her mother was fine on Sunday morning but started feeling bad Sunday afternoon after church. She died in about 24 hours. They buried her on Wednesday. This was in rural Alabama. No one knows who she caught it from. It attacked the strongest and healthiest. This stuff was really, really bad. There is a lesson here if we are smart enough to listen.
LOL. So her lungs were filled with phlegm overwhelmed with invisible viruses, but NO bacteria?

Coldfront15 don’t be so complacent sonny.
its sad how even in the era of instant communication, YOU'D THINK it will be much easier to stop an outbreak like this from happening again, but you can never underastimate goverements need to maintaince their economy and image over human's lifes
And the fact they had plenty of time since this happened to at least a basic what to plan in place. Some things might need to change according to the times but having a even a small plan would be a big help.
This whole debacle started back in December. Its be 4-5 months, look where its at now
At least governments aren't keeping official stats as mucha secret as they did in 1918. china is still fudging the numbers today but nobody except spain even acknowledged a widespread pandemic for that flu
while the technology has advanced, human's ego isn't really different.

Looking back it's easy to see how it could have been a lot worse. The vaccines were deployed promptly and despiite some silly arguments have been deployed more or less effectively. The vaccines didn't kill CoVID but they drastically downgraded it as a threat to life. CoVID can still kill but the world is much safer from it than it was in 2019
Every hundred years a major pandemic comes along strange right?

We did learn. Then orange man shut down most of Obama's pandemic centres worldwide. And doesn't know who shut them down. So politics I guess.

And that's why vaccines are important. Get vaccinated!
No vaccine can help you against a completely new strain of flu. Flu vaccines can only be produced for already known types.
But muh autism...
If a "new strain of Flu appeared" it would have to be derived from Flu to still be called "Flu" otherwise if it's completely new then it would be a different species of virus.
Yaldabaoth yeah, but you’ll be virtually completely protected against the countless other strains. Your chances of infection still drop pretty significantly.
This was a completely different flu disease from other flu diseases. A vaccine from a normal flu strain would not have helped you.

Funny, but not factually accurate. COVID 19 is a coronavirus more closely related to the common cold, not influenza.

Right?
....Right?
Every year the flu virus mutates into something slightly different than last year. Which is why every year it’s highly suggested to get the new flu vaccine. But, the vaccine is for a “best or best educated guess” of what the mutation will be. Thus the vaccine itself will help your body prepare for the virus in general, but for certain mutations of the flu there won’t be a defense.
*enter Anti-vaxxers stage right*
Miyamoto Fan Unfortunately, wrong.
Miyamoto Fan no it's still posible it would require something we don't understand to hit us. Also super bugs developed acidentaly in hospitals do exist.
Once upon a time during the troop surge in the winter of 2009, the flu or (insert the favorite flavor of the crud here) rocketed through transit bases faster than vaccines or whatever could keep up and very conservative quarantine measures were put into place. Probably not too bad if you were just transiting through and got out in a hurry, but it absolutely sucked if you were stuck there with the bug of the week, every week.

Who actually watched this _before_ the corona virus outbreak?
Watching events unfold so closely to what happened in 1918 was maddening. Let's hope we actually *learn* from it this time.
I'm sure there already have been comments metioning it buuut...
You have used the wrong staff. No worries, It's very common to do so, even among doctors and other medical jobs.
What you have is a Cadceus, the staff of Hermes, a symbol of alchemy, astrology, trade and wisdom in general. While it's an ok symbol you are probably meant to use the Staff of Asclepius, god of medicine. This one has only a single serpent and no wings.
Cheers!
Marz exactly their is a small difference in design but completely different meanings. I’m a mythology nerd
Marz Unfortunately, the symmetry of the Caduceus of Hermes was more appealing, so the US military, among others, adopted it instead of the more appropriate Staff of Asclepius. My point? You're correct, but it may be a battle already lost.
The US Army Medical Corps does use a caduceus ☤ though? (and still does, though it's now part of the Army Medical Department which uses the asklepian ⚕; Wikipedia suggests there was a burst of conflating the two symbols at the end of the 19th century in the US which has since reversed en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caduceus_as_a_symbol_of_medicine )
Others have opined that trade and commerce may be more appropriate than healing, as a symbol, in these troubled times.
They didn’t have time to pontificate over this nonsense. People were dying.
I'll miss Dan (and it was extra jarring because I've been marathoning earlier episodes) but after about 5 minutes, I got used to it. The Spanish Flu had always been fascinating and y'all are doing a great job

"A stockpile of vaccines"
Anti-vaxxers: *laughs in measles*
"ItS JuST a RaSh!1!"
*Barfs up spinal cord*
Are you going to explain next why was it called the Spanish Flu in a begining?
It's called Spanish Flu because all the warring nations in Europe employed press censorship to keep public morale high, so any reports of disease were repressed. Spain was neutral however, and lacked the censorship of the warring nations. Thus, the first reports of the flu to circulate throughout Europe came from Spain, and so they disease was the "Spanish Flu"
Because spain was the first to report on it
It was called Spanish Flu because Spain was a neutral country in WW1, so its media did report cases of flu basically wrecking just about everyone while everyone else that is relevant, censored anything that depicts their armies as weak. So when 11/11/18 came, the public was like 'woah, Spain had a serious epidemic that might have been spreading among the trenches and we will called in Spanish Flu because that's where i first heard it because that's the only place reporting it '
Yeah, the first major country without heavy censorship where the disease struck.
It was really to avoid panic to say it was only happening in Spain, they’ll probably mention it in an episode or two

Hey Matt, I know that at this point it's probably meaningless since it's been so long and I don't want to bother you with what's probably a sore subject, but I wanted to thank you for stepping into this channel, and for rising to the occasion so admirably.
When Dan was hosting Extra History he made it my favorite series on this whole platform, his voice made dusty and boring names on a page into real breathing people with hopes and dreams. He turned a lesson into a proper tale, spun with all the skill of a trained storyteller.
While your voice wasn't the one that I expected opening this video, it really meant a lot to me that you did so well. You feel like a natural fit here, your voice carries the same gravitas as his but you aren't trying to completely replace him. Rather than his style of grandiose tangents you have a natural hook to the way you speak that makes me want to pay attention rather than just listening in the background of my work like I used to with Dan.
I guess in the end I just want to thank you for being your own person. You might not care or even see my comment, but it really means a lot to me that you do your own thing instead of doing what many other channels have tried to do by simply replacing the old host with someone similar. You're your own personality and it makes me look forward to the next episode where I get to learn something about my world from you.
Thank you, Matt, for being you. Thank you for doing it so wonderfully well, and for not trying to just replace the last guy. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job educating me and many others on the topics this channel covers. And finally, thank you for being there to continue a series that means so much me and so many other people. Keep up the fantastic work, I can't wait to see where we get to go next together!

Covid-19: Now this looks like a job for me.
Who would have known that videos like this would be so prophetic?
Keep in mind guys that penicillin is seeing a bit of a decline. We're seeing bacteria become immune to them faster than we can keep up. This is largely because we put penicillin on everything and use it as a treatment very flippantly. If we're not careful we could enter a post-penicillin age. While this would not be apocalyptic it would see medical care get even more expensive and difficult. As a U.S. citizen the thought of that happening in my country especially is terrifying.
Grumbles I personally am not effected if penicillin becomes useless, I'm already allergic to it. What frightens me is how we systemtically pump poultry and beef full of antibiotics to the point where no cheap, effective treatment will exist in the near future. We're daring the diseases of the world to take a swing at us and we have a glass jaw. This will end with one hell of a visit to the doctor.
While American and European farmers cut back and are more cautious about using antibiotics, the Chinese have been using them on an industrial scale with no regard for safety or long term effects. I've predicted we will lose the war because of the mind boggling scale of abuse by the Chinese. Where did most, if not all, of the flu scares in recent history come from??? China. They just don't care.
Two different issues there. Antibiotics have nothing to do with flu, as its caused by a virus. Recent flu strains have come out of China because Chinese farms (and parts of society in general) have a lot more direct animal exposure (plus massive scale), which makes it more likely that a flu virus will develop zoonosis and jump from the livestock to humans. Not to say that systemic antibiotic use in agriculture isn't a massive problem (it totally is, and it's one of the less talked about bad things China does), only that it's a different beast to flu jumping the species barrier.
I worry that the people who job is too make sure all meds are pretty safe aren't working very hard to make sure of that fact in America. But anyone who could get them to use their heads is blackball for being a naysayer and all but show the door most of the time and sometimes they do get the door.
Time to move on to phages. At least you can't be resistant to antibiotics and phages unless nature pulls something absolutely mind-boggling.
Guys, it was weeks before that Dan said he'd be leaving for personal reasons. This channel has been up for a decade now and the people who made it have lives of their own. The channel isn't dying. At some point there needs to be new blood and new voices if something like Extra Credits wants to stay successful and relevant. Matt has been in Extra Credits before and on their podcasts; the guy knows what he's doing and what he's about.
Paul Hanson yeah its just people become accustomed to a certain image. Take the new coke / coke classic dilema - people often find it hard to leave whats familiar to them.
Maybe there wasn’t as much toilet paper to save folks back then.

I don't think anti-vaxxers as a major weren't really a thing back then. People lined up around the block when they heard there was a way to get their children to not die from smallpox. When there's a 100% chance that you know someone who died or was crippled by one or more of these terrible diseases, the idea of a cure is magical. The problem was that vaccines were so effective, that few people actually know a person who died from these diseases, but hear all sorts of nonsense about the "dangers" of vaccines.
There are people still alive today trapped inside iron lungs because of the havoc polio wrought on their bodies and yet people have now got the idea in their heads that they don't need to be vaccinated.
If anything this series will make them look even more stupider.
Out here reviewing the flu series again after reading about the new coronavirus :/
stay safe bro.
this really hit different now
I rewatched this in 2020 and 2021 guess it's time for a rewatch in 2022
@Remi that's fake, those things have no cure
rewatching this in 2020 is wild
Ppl in 2019 oh man that’s horrible won’t happen again. Ppl in 2020 oh damn this sounds familiar
Watched this a few months ago. Good information to have, nice to hear a bit more about this.
Watched this last night. Terrifying.
Can't wait for the extra credits video on covid
THIS IS A HORROR STORY
Yes it is. My mother who was 10 years old at the time told me about watching out the living room window. Wagons or trucks would stop at a neighbor's house. Men would place a coffin on the steps or porch. Someone take it inside and awhile later put it back. The men would come back a little later and pick it up. Because it was a small coffin, she knew a friend and class mate had died. Middle Ages redo.
Like all stories of war times
Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead!
History repeats itself.
History House Productions indeed it is.
You have no idea. Here are the stories that I have read while doing some research into this...
A doctor who had been out for 20 hours taking care of the victims came home to a wild eyed mother who had a gun. He tried to explain that he was too tired to be any of use until she explained her husband was dead and that she had lost five out of six her children and she was not going to lose to her last to matter who she had threaten to get help. So the doctor picked up his tools and gave up his sleep for the day to help her out.
Another one was the poor native Americans, especially in places like Alaska. A lot of them were communities where all got sick all at once and they could not feed their dogs. Once left the dogs no choice but to eat the people/bodies. There are many stories of people making contact with villages only to be set upon by wild feral dogs that wanted their flesh. They had to hide in buildings to get away from them and there are stories of people killing dozens of formerly well behaved dogs.
Finally, in one rural area where there was no care system in place somebody heard a rumor that one of the farmers was a doctor (he was) and you had a human wave of people who were half dead who walked to this guy's yard in the middle of the night and all he could hear was the moaning and crying until he was forced to come out. The guy treated them and the wife acted as his nurse. They all died. Now this would have driven any normal person insane after doing that much effort for nothing. This doctor gave up retirement and headed back out.
The medical practitioners (nurses, doctors, and everybody else) at the time were the true hero's for the time.
The people asking for Dan are most likele the ones who doesn't watch the Extra Credits series. Dan left weeks ago and the Non-Eucledian series wascamong his last works with the team. He'll be missed.
...but y did he leave?
I wonder if we'll have to wait the full 100 years to get an Extra History video on COVID-19.
The rubber tunes mentioned this Christmas so I can here to learn more, because I know you will teach me in a fun way.
At 2:40 I had chills down my spine
I had a little bird,
It's name was Enza.
I opened up the window,
And in-flu-enza.
0/10
*Thumbs down* Boo!!
*cough* did you say something ?
@@vyrva5690 oh Sugar Honey Ice Tea.
@@vyrva5690 must have been the wind
Wait did y’all change the cover image?
They did change the thumbnail!
This came into my recommendations at the right time.
You should make a extra history series about the Napoleon Bonaparte.
Though it would be cool, I don't think they should. I like extra history because it exposes me too new history I wouldn't even think to research l. Napoleon seems to obvious and is one of the more prolific history's on RUclips.
james wilson I can see where you are coming from. I personally am a huge fan of the napoleonic wars and therefore would like it but you do have a point.
james wilson, well they already did a series about Bismark.
Yeah, Extra History really likes showing the parts of history that most people look over, they have rarely done series on the really famous events. As much as I love Napoleonic history, its already well known to lots of people, at least the basics of it. Still if they decide to do one on Napoleon I will be very happy about that.
RadicalZ Bona....hehe
who’s here during coronavirus? i’m watching educational videos to try and get smart again bc i haven’t learned anything in months 😂 virtual school is just busy work
Well this series just got real frikkin relevant.
(This only got posted a year ago, oh God.)
This had some of the best production quality of any of your extra history videos. I've been watching since the Punic War episodes and it's been an amazing journey learning with you all. Thank you for this show, as well as making new shows too, and thank you for trying to improve.
I’m starting to see a lot of similarities to the Coronavirus. Even the original and symptoms are the same
Spanish flu 2 electric boogaloo
Miceal Curphey or SARS 2: Electric Boogaloo
Historical Comrade they are close relatives in the virus world
Historical Comrade it’s the media that’s making Coronavirus scary
Stormray Purple rose exactly. This outbreak will not be the same as the Spanish flu. We know far more and even though we may be a bit caught off guard, most symptoms are mild. For the ones that do catch serious symptoms, we can mobilize our resources to insure adequate care.
