The 1918 Flu Pandemic - Fighting the Ghost - Part 4 - Extra History

[@extrahistory]

By October 25th, the vaccine is ready. Express trains rush deliveries to the West Coast to protect troops and shipbuilders there. They’d made enough to vaccinate the entire US Army and its civilian employees... but *only* enough for the army.

I watched this a long time ago, I studied 1918 in college. I’m crying while watching this right now. We have no federal leadership in 2020 and it’s too familiar.

[@thalastianjorus]

I know that this is 3 years late, but: America is not _supposed_ to have "leaders" in the Federal government. They are supposed to have representatives that debate representatives from elsewhere - in order to push the interests of each state. That's all. They were never meant to be leaders. Hence why Washington settled on the title President - like the President of your local sporting club. A chairman. Someone that ensures the meetings, legislation, etc goes smoothly. That's all. The same applies to the House and Senate. What America is _supposed_ to have is a well informed public. Men and women that pay enough attention, listen enough, and keep up to date with current affairs in order to lead themselves. This concept died in the Antebellum years - the Government did not realize that society abandoned this idea until the 40s.

Well, obviously, ugh, pickles are the real killer in the world. Not diabetes, not vending machines, not pathogens. Just pickled cucumbers, commonly known as pickles. The strain is known as can-o-cucsitius, and suffocates the victim through thin, breakable, choke-prone slices that will tear lung lining, initiating internal bleeding,oxygen holes which cause strokes because of lack of air, and satisfy all hunger.

[@SpecterVonBaren]

There were also too few nurses at this time because agencies like the Red Cross refused to train lower level nurses when first asked in preparation for any kind of outbreak before this pandemic even started because they felt it would demean the importance of nurses to have such quickly trained people representing them.

No, there aren't. Bodies piled up in 1918, in houses and streets. Here in America, the streets are clear of bodies.

Europe's economy is in ruins due to the war. Northwest France looks like the surface of the moon with all the inhabitants displaced. Easter European countries is a massive battleground where Germany and Russia keeps pushing each other back in massive offensives. Albeit Russia is defeated at this point, but the damage is still there. The more fluid nature of the Eastern front definitely left more cities in chaos. Serbia is attacked from all sides so it is also in chaos. I'd say it is chaotic enough when compared to US.

I'm watching this because I'm subscribed. COVID-19 is weak compared to the common flu and any uncommon cold. coronavirus is just a cold. When a variant jumps from animal to human as woth this ot can be bad, but compared to saars this really isnt anything. A vary high rate of contagion yes but a very low rate of death. Sheeple are freaking out over nothing.

[@xSiKToXinzZ]

Anyone else watching this during the covid-19 outbreak? I wasn’t concerned but now I’m terrified

[@Bogwedgle]

Don't be scared, just be aware of it. covid-19 is much less lethal, deaths are usually older people and medical care/quarantine procedures are much better. So long as you take sensible precautions like washing your hands regularly and minimising contact with sick people, you'll be fine. covid-19 is bad but it's nowhere near spanish flu bad.

[@farmerjoe124]

There is SO many things different about the world now. There were 16,000 deaths from spanish flu in philedhphia alone, and the covid19 worldwide deaths aren't even close to that.

Never make predictions during outbreaks :)

My grandma taught my brother and I the Influenza song when I was a kid when there was an influenza scare where I live. She was born in 1922, some time after the epidemic but when people lived in fear of another one.

I need more extra history. It is a very depressing feeling when the video ends and you've watched them all. MOAR PLIS
