I actually do think this is quite accurate. Just like 1917-1919 saw the crumbling of the one world and the birth of another I think 2020-2025 will be the same with the end of the post-WW1 world. But I think Covid is very important not for it's actual death total but more for it's social effects. It really laid bare to everyone out technocratic world and how isolated many people have gotten from one another. It also gave many an unflattering glimpse in the direction our world is heading in.

My greatgrandfather was a medical officer in the ottoman army. He spent years in hijaz and palestine serving the army before and during the war. After the armistice he and his family were moving to Erzincan Garrison in the Eastern Anatolia. On the way from İstanbul his wife and daughter caught spanish flu and died in a couple of days in Samsun, a town in the black sea region. My greatgrandfather was left with my grandfather who was just a baby in a town he did not know after all those years of struggle and hardship. He resigned from the army, never remarried, opened a pharmacy and stayed at this blacksea town where the graves of his loved ones are located. I always thought this story as a personel tradegy that is shared by millions of people during and after the great war.

The war started in 1914, the famine of the turnip winter was 1916, then the pestilence of the Spanish flu came in 1918. That is three of the hour horsemen with death along with them through the entire ride.

[@Mr.Isquierdo]

What's four

[@WhatIsSanity]

@@Mr.Isquierdo War, death, famine and pestilence. All four hallmarks of the horsemen of the apocalypse from abrahamic scripture were present during the war. Unfortunately the apocalypse still not occurred yet though. (apocalypse means mass epiphany) I say that because the world has still not yet woken up and realised things like mass violence and war is getting us nowhere fast. Armageddon is the Christian end of the world prophecy, and the apocolypse is to precede armageddon in Christian scripture if memory serves.

[@hus390]

They call it the Spanish flu not because it originated there. But because Spain (being a neutral country in WW1), had no censorship on press. So the Spanish papers reported the story of this killing disease first.

[@illegalclown]

This has always been an interesting topic for me. My great-grandfather was in the US Army in WW1. According to family lore, he came down with the flu right before his unit was sent to Europe, and he was forced to stay behind. I don't know if he was discharged or the fighting stopped before he recovered, but he was never sent into combat. I never got to ask because he died when I was very young, but it's funny to think that I might owe my existence to a flu that killed so many.

Hooray! The war is over (cough cough)... Thanks very much for covering the epidemic. That was the best and clearest explanation of the details of the Spanish Flue I've ever seen! . I'm a former Army medic, and a current respiratory /infectious diseases nurse, and have seen many outbreaks of influenza. I can only imagine how powerless it'd feel trying to save so many young patients with the technology of the time. We know a lot about the genome of the Spanish flu from samples that were preserved in Inuit graves. The Spanish flu managed to get everywhere!

[@peglegnoid6139]

So did Spanish Flu originate in Spain ?

[@bigbrowntau]

@@peglegnoid6139 No. we're certain it didn't start in Spain. Spain, being a neutral country didn't have censorship of its media, so they were the first to report large numbers of influenza patients. and because they were the first, they received the dubious honour of having the outbreak named after them.

His recollections are still alive in my memory but I wish I had asked more questions and spent more time with him. Your pages of history laid out as daily stories exactly one century ago are a great supplement. Thanks again!

[@pianowhizz]

Thanks Indy and team, I just finished binge watching the entire series - well done. Regarding the flu, note that stress weakens the immune system (by inhibiting telomerase release from the brain) and, in addition to the limited vitamin-C in troop diets, this chronic stress (caused by PTSD, depression, and low morale) would have meant that soldiers would have had the weakest immune systems, not the strongest. That's why they were hit hardest. Also add to this the fact that sick soldiers were moved into hospitals full of other sick/injured soldiers and you see why the flu spread so fast and easily.

The first wave of the flu (the mild version) started in March 1918 in Kansas. That early version of the virus was not too deadly (a french garrison with 1000 men was infected and only 3 soldiers died). But in July 1918 the virus mutated into the deadly version. The doctors noticed that those that had suffered the mild version earlier in the year, now they were immune to the second.

My great great great grandfather (who was in the Serbian army) and grandmother both died of pneumonia in 1918. He survived the entire war as a fighting soldier, including the deadly retreat from Serbia to Corfu in 1915-6 and took part in the Vardar offensive and was seen by my other great great great grandfather who was also in the army (a Chauchat machine gunner), but in a different unit, who knew him since they were both from the same village, and who survived the war and came back home, that he had been demobilized and on his way home. But he was later reported being in a hospital... His wife with young kids had been waiting for him to return home during the four years of the war and as it ended contracted pneumonia in about the same time her husband was last seen alive and died. I think the manner of death and the timing makes it a safe bet that they both died of pneumonia caused by the raging epidemics of the Spanish flu. 😢
