We Heard the Bells: The Influenza of 1918 - Department of Health and Human Services - January 2010 - In 1918-1919, the worst flu in recorded history killed an estimated 50 million people worldwide. The U.S. death toll was 675,000 - five times the number of U.S. soldiers killed in World War I. Where did the 1918 flu come from? Why was it so lethal? What did we learn? - Study materials are available at http://www.avianflue.gov/weheardthebells/

Thank you for providing this, as I was unable to find any other documentary on the Spanish Influenza. If you know of any other sources I would be very appreciative.

@spikeymouse You can't blame him for not knowing, there are a lot of history classes that tend to overlook this moment in history as a result of poor curriculum. I hardly knew anything about it, all I knew was it was called the Spanish Flu until last Thursday when we watched the American Experience on it in class.

Pregnant women have their nutrients stripped from them by the baby, so their immune system is not going to be very strong. In 1918 there very likely were no prenatal vitamins given out to help with their immune system. That is why they died.

When you caught this illness the progress was so fast. You would wake up feeling fine, you got to work with a slight blocked nose, by lunch time you were sent home from work as you were too ill, by late afternoon you were in bed, by early evening you were bleeding from the nose and mouth and gasping for breath and by midnight you were dead.
In the final stages your face would have a blue colored tinge to it, it led the working class people who took the brunt of it to call it The Blue Death
