Crazy Spanish flu doc if you need something to watch

[The M.I.C.]

Spanish flu raged like it did because the environment was being ravaged by war (World War I), poor sanitary conditions and the level of medical knowledge at the time.

You mean the Chinese Flu..

I wouldn’t say even more just because of the conditions that were present when Spanish flu touched down.

It started on a Kansas farm according to accounts and really spread at an overcrowded army barrack in Kansas. Then those soldiers went to war spreading it to other soldiers on ships and living in extremely close quarters with others eating, pissing and shytting in the same ditches they were sleeping in on the battlefields.

Even though we live in densely populated areas all over the globe, communal outhouses and water spouts are mostly a thing of the past. These people from back then we renting out beds for 6-8hrs at a time to sleep before heading back to work. That’s a steady rotation of people sleeping on the same dirty sheets day after day.

You mean the American flu :chinesemjplease:

So why are Americans calling the American flu the Spanish flu? :chinesemjplease:

I don’t think so, Spanish flu seemed more deadly

Only because it happened during a time when our medical practice was fairly primitive.

If this outbreak happened in 1918, it would be just as deadly if not more.

I was watching a doc on the bubonic plague on Saturday and they blamed Jews which resulted in thousands of Jewish massacres. I know I shouldn’t laugh but it’s funny how the Jews were literally blamed pretty much everything

The Spanish reported it first in their newspapers, so it stuck at being Spanish.

And local governments ignoring health officials about canceling large group events. They were aware of the damage the bubonic plague wreaked and just 20 or so years before the Spanish flu Russia had a flu outbreak that killed 1 million.
