One hundred years ago in 1918 and 1919 the Spanish Flu mortality was 10-20%. A third of the world population was infected. Influenza. Killed. 50-100 million. 3% of the world population died.
Blue lips. Blackened skin. Blood leaking from noses and mouths. Coughing fits so intense they ripped muscles. Crippling headaches and body pains that felt like torture. These were the symptoms of a disease that was first recorded in Haskell County, Kansas, one hundred years ago.
It killed healthy young people. Coming at the end of World War 1 US life expectancy dropped 12 years.
Terrible and terrifying don’t begin to describe the horrors of so many deaths. Flu!
Get your flu shots every year. I have for several years now after learning about Spanish Flu from an audio book.
