[RedTailedTuna]

I just heard about this today??? wtf you think people would bring it up more???

[TheRealWorldDudes]

@RedTailedTuna people dont talk about it because it was so traumatic that no one wanted to talk about it.

[RedTailedTuna]

I heard 50+ million died on I tv show I watched today

[hogo1]

in todays world 1% of 7 billion would be 70 million people dead. However I have heard of epidemiological data that said that the death rate could have been as high as 3%.

On another note of the people that have gotten bird flu, over 50% have died.

[CicconeTwins]

1% of the world's population died during the epidemic in 1918.

The whole thing started in Kansas when a pig farted loudly then pissed in the street and all hell broke loose.The flatulent bastard.

1918 was when people died of Spanish Influenza

[86thrasher]

My great great grandfather died from this epidemic no joke,my grandpa once told me that his dad never really knew his dad because he died of influenza before he was born

[expom1950]

Called Spanish Flu because the Spanish newspapers weren't censored and so could report on it. One theory is that it was actually brought to Europe by an American soldier.

[jake38989]

[TheRainProductions]

Read Unity 1918 by Kevin Kerr, best play ever, about this plague.

[personaltrainerpro]

This virus was not spanish... it was an american virus, now the N1H1 is not mexican virus is an american virus 6 of 8 genes are anglo-american...

[Gregk82]

propaganda... not how i heard it happen!

[superbeauthy]

camp upton, 2 soilders and a thrid woman , dug up , then 1957... camp upton, given to r soilders

[Iambusy3]

It wasn't the "flu." Rather it was the concoction of vaccines given to our troops. Youtube won't let you post a link, but google "1918 flu caused by vaccines"

My late father who died in 1999 (at 83 years old) told me all about this. He was 2 years old and his 29 year old father (my grandfather) died of this. My dad, his 3 year old sister and mother were left penniless, broke and homeless as the bread winner of the family had died. A sympathetic uncle took them in. My dad had to start working at 12 years old to help bring in money for his mom. This flu affected millions of people in many ways.

[TheMasturRater]

@inkey2 - It's interesting to read the old newspapers of that era. They tracked the flu as it spread across the US. In my area one couple that were married only a month died within 2 days of each other. Churches were closed, funerals banned, schools closed for a month. Coffins piled up waiting for burial.

[inkey2]

@TheMasturRater : another thing that happened .....my ancestors on my dads side lived in Boston during this pandemic....like many poor, working class people (poor folks of irish descent) they lived in cramped quarters with many people in one house. 2 relatives w/in 2 weeks died in that house. I can just imagine the terror of everyone thinking they will be next.

[bjbler2396]

Scary stuff, but really a well done vid.

[t1268]

aaahhh that skeleton hand thing is scary

[shabtash]

scary shit

[rapiddominace]

...it came out of Kansas, U.S. troops went to Europe from fort Riley and infected the whole U.S. army and half of Europe

[inkey2]

@rapiddominace : here is what I have read....I am not disputing what you say....just offering this up for interesting conversation. I read, or saw a clip....can't remember which.....that the flu started in a resort town in spain and thus called the spanish flu

[Flashwar]

@rapiddominace I feel strange giving this comment a thumbs up...
