Spanish Flu: a warning from history

[@davidazinger5639]

We only learn history in the middle of repeating it.

Never take being healthy for granted

[@onewomanslife]

It did not start I. Spain. They call it “Spanish” because Spain was the only place that did not censor the truth of its existence.

[@t.michaelbodine4341]

That’s right. It started here, in the US, in the Midwest.

[@Weaselszone]

She mentioned that in her first 2 minutes

The gamechanger today is the airplane.

Who is watching this while locked-down or self-isolating due to Coronavirus?

[@iamdalal5193]

Hi from 2024😊

[@A_B573]

watching this for my geography class!

[@hken423]

Wow. Incredible respect for the nurses who continued to take care of the patients through this.

[@michaelterrell2108]

"It might be 10 years from now, it might be 20, 30, or 40. We really don't know." 1 year later, COVID-19 struck.

[@emmanueldauteuil756]

"It might be 10 years from now", says he. Well, that was optimistic.

[@lisalovelylpa]

My grandma was alive then , she would breast feed baby’s who had no moms the moms died from flu or who’s moms were sick , she lost an infant baby and a teenage daughter to the flu. This was in New York City.

[@ElenaWraithSevatarion]

We are living history right now. May we survive this

[@facekidnoise]

History keeps repeating itself. Same movie different actors.

[@martinrutkowski9504]

Why is this not a Netflix documentary? With the exact atmosphere this video has... eerie, unsettling, uncanny and even scary, but incredibly informative as well without descending into melodrama. One can only wish or watch on repeat.

[@zeegeejay]

I think they forgot to knock on wood after making this video.

[@janetlynch5804]

My G. Aunt died of this flu in 1918. She was in her 30's and had 2 young boys. I never knew her. Her name was Grace May. Very Sad.

[@StevenSiew2]

How come when I watch this video, I don't feel like I am watching a history channel and I feel like I am watching the six O'clock news.

[@sheilafreeman686]

My grandmother died in London of the Spanish flu one hundred years ago today. My aunt also died.

[@lawrencerinehart5747]

A quote that may not be exact but always relevant. "Those that forget the past are doomed to repeat it."

[@danicedanis]

I appreciate the use of historical photographs in this video.

[@leesimpson1677]

I can understand how flu is so deadly. I caught the flu when I was at University in the late 60's. I was in my late teens & was extremely fit. The virus put me on my back for over 3 weeks. At the height of the illness, if my house had been set on fire, I would not have been able to get out of bed to save myself I was so weak. I honestly thought I was dying at one point. I am convinced that if I had been the age I am now (68) I would not have survived. In Jan 2020 in light of the new virus in China, this is worrying to say the least.

[@marko11kram]

My grandmother survived the Spanish Flu. She was 10 years old

[@taylorverrall118]

Why does the KZbin algorithm insist of fuelling my paranoia and anxiety.

[@benfrankog6111]

Here we go again

[@eisteepfirsich3358]

This aged well

[@2HRTS1LOVE]

My grandpa lived to be almost 100, he had vivid memories of the Spanish Flu from his childhood. Even in his tiny, isolated town, so many people got sick, and nearly everyone lost at least one family member. He recalled so many funerals, and the "burial system" in his small community being overwhelmed. He saw so many amazing things in his lifetime, his first car was a Model T Ford, to two World Wars, to men on the moon, to TV, computers, cell phones, etc. He traveled with his family in a covered wagon as a little kid. It's really incredible when you think about it. But this flu was really horrible for so many, it killed healthy adults, not the sick and elderly, and the ripple effects were devastating.

[@FlyingAlfredoSaucer]

I wish we had taken the warning.

[@saphaalta7445]

one thing to be thankful for in present pandemic I think is how accessible everything is because of internet. I can only imagine how difficult must have been in those times

[@victoriannecastle]

A year after this upload, we have corona

[@1Cirmag]

We all know why the algorithm sent you here. Been a rough year all around, I hope you're doing well and remember you are not alone in this.

[@Rodrigo-tk2fm]

Who's here trying to figure out how serious is Corona virus??

[@duongly]

That's it. I'm building a log shack in the mountains. With Wi-Fi.

[@oneyoutuber]

"Is not if but when"... maybe the "when" has arrived.

[@Rndmrth3]

Ended up here to review the coming Wuhan Pandemic

[@markm3919]

“It will probably happen again” Good guess

[@trustmemysonisadoctor8479]

My grandmother was 13 when the pandemic hit. Her family were wheat farmers in Canada, her entire family was deathly sick. Her father got up once a day to collect food left on the porch by neighbors and to check if anyone had died. My great grandparents, my grandmother and her 7 siblings survived. My great grandfathers lungs were badly damaged, they sold the farm and moved to New Mexico-all 10 of them in a Model T.

[@mivapusa]

My oh my, what timing KZbin's recommendations have...

[@voidremoved]

how did it effect toilet paper sales

[@alexandervastardis4056]

Almost exactly 100 years later we have the Coronavirus hitting us now. I think we are indeed learning Medically, but forget Socially rather quickly.

[@robertedmond6596]

I love sayings like "a warning from history". So eerie

[@khiFLY]

I had the flu before in high school. My neck was stiff I could barely move it, body was on fire, I was hallucinating, weak, room was turning, I was out of school for at least a week or two. Till this day I don't see how Michael Jordan played with the flu. I couldn't even move

[@waynemasters]

Imagine. This was months before COVID really kicked into high gear. “History proves again and again how Nature points out the folly of men.” -BOC

[@rainbowbird1986]

one year later... and we have a covid 19 pandemic..... it is insane....

[@haleffect9011]

Well, here we are in 2020, in the middle of the Corona outbreak

[@annawan2518]

My Grandmother had the spanish flu and survived.

[@SincerelySaskia]

This is incredibly eerie! It seemed to appear incredibly fast, only kill a certain age rage, and then just dissipated! So creepy.

[@topopops]

if you have ever had real flu, I did once when I was about 19 for 4 days straight I couldn’t even walk, turning over on my bed was a mammoth task.

[@ohmygod3503]

I’ve never heard of the Spanish Flu... I’m learning a lot of new things with COVID-19 going around.

[@iKoper]

perfect timing youtube

[@sugimuraagato6829]

Come here after Corona virus

[@MikeCaffyn1]

At 7:50 "We really don't know why we have never seen another pandemic like that of 1918". Oh Dear - How things can change SO quickly.

[@noneimportant5951]

This Youtbe algorithm has a funny sense of humour......

[@BespokeCommentator]

7:51 "we really don't know why we haven't seen a pandemic as deadly as the 1918 pandemic..." - Nov 2018

[@mindibear]

I like the ending statement: “When will this happen again? 10 years from now? 20? 30?” LOL, only one year later!

[@sleeks9939]

If you came here because of the corona virus. Stay home. Forget the social distancing. You can video chat, think smart. Wear mask and gloves, minimize your groceries shopping. You and your families are at risk. People’s life matters. God bless.

[@jnisrud254]

My ancestors survived the spanish flu or I wouldn't be here... this makes me feel a bit stronger.

[@thereseember2800]

My Mom’s uncle died of the Spanish flu. He wrote a letter to his mother from the WWI field: “Everybody’s dying here like flies (from the flu).”

[@sadib4782]

this video coming out before covid and being titled “a warning from history” is so eerie

[@warl0ck2]

This was made in 2018... if they only knew, two years later... history repeats itself

[@MrAnonymousme10]

meanwhile in china.....

[@wshtb]

There is one thing the U.S government didn't forget from the history: blame it on someone else.

[@peterhellyer6916]

When a threat isn't visible, it is the greatest threat of all

[@hissonggirlmoni5706]

Watching this during covid 19 pandemic. So grateful we’ve had more resources and information now.

[@nickadz5490]

Who else has been watching tons of these types of videos lately?

[@jjpsp12]

It saddens me to say this, but we were not ready for COVID-19

[@lc1777]

That's what happens when citizens listen to politicians and call scientists as stupid

[@kareltracy]

When I was growing up, there was a pear tree on a grassy hillside. I asked my father about it; he said it was a winter pear tree, and had been planted for three people from one family who had died of the flu. He mentioned that it happened in 1918, and that a lot of people had died of the flu that year. The tree was around 10 or 15 years ago, but I'm not sure if it is still alive.

[@VarangianOblast]

"Spanish Flu: a warning from history" - very well put title

[@Anthony-hu3rj]

My understanding from previous reading is that it began it Kansas and under normal circumstances it would have killed a small amount of people there and ended, but because of advances in transportation (trains, ships, etc.), coupled with the fact that men were being transported and mingling around the world due to an unprecedentedly expansive war that that is why it spread so virulently. Now I'll study some more and see if that is still the correct analysis.

[@AwoudeX]

'it's not if but when' - this pretty much is a given, with the modes of transportation, the high amounts of trade all over the globe and the dense population in various areas.

[@bibhakumari7227]

This video is published on 30 Nov 2018 when covid- 19 was unknown . Cambridge university tell the future of world

[@thommigen9628]

Thats a high quality video like I expected it to be! Good job!

[@fredlandry6170]

Unbelievable, 50-100 million dead and this was over 100 years ago there was no high speed air travel.

[@azhuntress]

you're telling me this was posted TWO YEARS AGO?

[@scottbirrell341]

Drowning in your own flem. Such a nasty way to die.

[@bxchicc7799]

Watching this during the coronavirus pandemic in NYC! I pray everyone stays safe during this

[@martinsisdead2242]

We all here to see how we’ll deal with corona based off other plagues

[@chadshultz5717]

Get this on National TV! This drives home the point to wash your hands and stay away from crowds during these times.

[@The_Playlisterz]

A warning from history which nobody took seriously.

[@berenicebauer72]

My grandmother died in 1919 from pneumonia caused by the flu. Nasty stuff. She was only 23.

[@annalisette5897]

This is one of the best presentations I have seen on the subject! Thank you!

[@yuuri7839]

It's 2021 and the fact that a lot of us don't learn...

[@WasabiSniffer]

(Watching in 2021) ... welp!

[@k3w1b3an5]

weird this popped up in my recommends today.

[@DavidLopez-gx5hw]

Crazy this should have a billion views by now!!!

[@BetterCallSauS]

This video aged well, because fortunately the parallels between the deaths from the Spanish Flu and the number of people who actually died from Covid didn't even come close.

[@ddevulders]

This video aged very well

[@abdullahx8118]

Very comforting the the youtube recommendation system chose 2020 to recommend this video Thanks youtube very cool

[@aaron8kok]

2020 looks like this type of thing happens every 100 years.

[@canman5060]

We realize that we are only at the very beginning of this pandemic.

[@jpolos841]

My great grandma died from that flu. Her husband my great grandpa and there 5 sons lived. So random that she succumbed to it but the rest of the family survived it.

[@sleepup7931]

The virus didn't originate in Spain, but the country was the first to report on the outbreak, so people began calling it the Spanish flu (the Spanish thought it started in France and called it the "French flu")

[@gaurav0narwal]

My grandmother,s brother once told me about this. He was 30 years younger than my grandmother and was probably 10 at that time of Flu. He said People were creamted one after the other and such was the situation that there was a shortage of logs and cow Dungs to burn the bodies. Half of the village Population vanished and almost all of them young and healthy people. After the flu ended only weak and old survived.

[@craftingwithcarter2261]

I never knew how many videos there are about pandemics until 2020

[@Jason-nosaJ]

We didn't fully learn from history, and history is repeating.

[@KenzoAngel]

Never forget that Nature is bigger and stronger than us human

[@itslategoodnight]

- "Coronavirus is just a flu." - "Yeah. Remember the Spanish flu?"

[@LSD123.]

Sometimes when im home alone, i like to cover myself in Vaseline and pretend im a slug...

[@Simoss13]

This is crazy. The video goes on saying we will be better prepared, the next pandemic may happen in 10-100 years from now. It scary because it turned out worse than they expected. We were not prepared and happened from 1 year of the video being uploaded
