Why Spanish Flu Killed Over 50 Million People - Deadliest Plague in Modern History
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 мар 2020
- The Spanish flu swept the world between January 1918 through December 1920, infecting over 500 million people around the world. At first, it was just a normal flu, but it's second wave was the deadliest. But just why did the Spanish flu decimate the world population and what made it so deadly? In todays animated history video, we're taking a look at the lessons we can learn from Spanish flu and see just what went wrong.

Hopefully though they'll be telling that generation about the fact that most of the covid deaths were fabricated and the "crisis" was just exploited by politicians for power, to manipulate an election and to condition people to accept authoritarianism. Sadly though seeing how things are going, we'll probably be speaking Chinese by then.

Imagine being the person tracking people who come in contact with a person who has corona virus. U find one person but then they come in contact with other people so u have to find them too and so the cycle goes on.
In some counties tracking, probably, is of no use anymore - it mostly depends on the total number of cases as well as the number of infected sites in the country. But if they have only 1-2... It worked in South Korea.

Probably yep
@Draggy654 tiny brain
@@cbingham.mp4265 lol why
Back then they weren’t even reporting the disease they just carried on like nothing was happening lol
They weren't allowed to.
First off, America wouldn't report it, then pressured the Allies into not reporting it.
Germany were on the backfoot at that time, so they also kept it a secret.
But the Allies, being in a winning position, should've held off on the troop movements, they knew about the disease 😳
Although, hindsight is about as useful as Donald Trump's brain.
But now they are saying it is just a flu and carrying on as nothing was happening. History repeats itself.
Many countries don't even screen people at the airports and still have basically open borders.
Keep in mind, this disease affected the young people the most, because their bodies didn't know how to react to such disease, and so the immune systems overreacted, which is how the patients died.
Today, we are so exposed to the disease through the open air and vaccines that there is no reason to believe that the bodies of our young people wouldn't be able to handle such disease.
Kevin Castaneda was it a flu like virus?
Too bad your ancestors didn't catch it, that would of been a blessing to us all.

It's amazing that the 'Spanish' Flu (a very unfortunate name) killed so many people and is pretty much forgotten. Until recently (in light of COVID-19), I didn't see much documentary material about the pandemic. But now it seems that some people are mentioning the pandemic in comparison to COVID-19. That's just my experiences though.
They've been around just now people are looking for it. There's a term for it o can't remember what it's called. Same effect when you buy a new car and notice when other people are driving the same car when you never noticed before.
It's not forgotten. Here in Europe everybody knows it.
I remember I watched a documentary about this a few years ago, and this doctor said “this will happens again, no matter how much technology gets better and we try to avoid.. it will happen again”
My great grand father had 3 brothers, he was the youngest of them.

Wait, you wanna tell me that back in 1920s 30% of world population infected was 2 billion?
Wouldnt that make 100% of world population in 1920 a whole 6 billion?
Wasnt there like closer to 2 Billion people as total world population in 1920s?
So 1,9 billion infected is infection rate of 96% not 30%

seeing this in January 2022. It seems that many people (at least here in Australia) have lost the plot with covid after the lockdowns. We have staff shortages in many industries as more people end up in hospital with Omicron and supermarkets low on even basic stock, we're basically in an induced lockdown with how many people are getting it. A lot of people think its a joke now as testing facilities are hugely overwhelmed (many close hours before midday with waiting times as high as 7 hours) and even some tests of different types indicating false results. it just feels like such a mess now

I loved that bit in the end where you talked about how our advances in medical science would help avoid something similar as the Spanish Flu. Oh boy, were you wrong.
Aubrey GDJ: Advances in public health, as well as medical management of critically ill patients have progressed immensely since 1918. We also have vaccines in development, which were impossible for labs to make in 1918. The COVID-19 pandemic is similar to the Spanish flu pandemic, but there’s a lot more we can do, than we could in 1918!!!
