Deadliest Plague of the 20th Century: Flu of 1918

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ม.ค. 2025
- Historical documentary about 1918 Swine Flu or Spanish Flu and the role of World War I in spreading the disease among troops making it into a worldwide plague of devastating proportions. The video covers where it began, how and where it spread, the symptoms, how it affected America and whether it could happen again. The music is “Blood and Ivory Keys” by 19between. Used with Permission. Video is under exclusive copyright of Chromosome8.
In 1918 my Great grandmother was 18. She was sent out to a tiny village on the border between Poland and Russia where she was working for food and shelter, as she was a half orfant not treated well at home.
When people began dying she cared for her landlords, later for those who lived close. One day, when last villagers died, she took a cart and horse and drove back home on her own. She released the horse far from her home village and walked back home forbidding anyone to come close. She lived in the barn for weeks, refusing contact with anyone. She survived, never falling sick.
Died at 99, surprisingly healthy for her age.
Thank you for sharing!! What a sweet, kind, wonderful Grandma!!
Wow. She even socially distanced herself. Beautiful story. Thank you for sharing 💗
She was a truly heroic and compassionate lady.💟
She was definitely a survivor and understood the need for quarantine. Bless her sense of humanity.
@@marylousherman5471 oh yes, great survivor- saw the flu, two world wars, return on my great grandfather from war after two years from its end, being on her own with two daughters all that time, Russian army walking in to the country, then communist regime in Poland. We used to call her the Iron Lady as she was holding us with a strong fist even 700 km apart. She decided to die one day as seen enough and lived enough. Went to bed and let herself to go after a few months.
GREAT DOCUMENTARY. Just the explanation by a polished narrator, no music drowning out the words, no real people droning on about their experiences. An A++ to this poster.
True
Smooth narrator
Much better this way I'd prefer if more were like this, just the facts laid bare.
Wonderfully done documentary indeed ! I almost feel guilty, lazy and ashamed eating last nights leftovers from DoorDash.
And we’re here complaining about staying home with food, electricity, WiFi, water, etc and those had to fight a war and a virus at the same time, we’re a selfish generation...
our own home are better then ending up in a overwhelmed hospital
Remember our Grandparents fought in Wars, all we're being asked to do is sit on our asses and watch Netflix... To protect them
What i think to i was not even alive in those days
@@donniseltzer7718 I agree

Indeed!!!!!!!! Not only selfish but covetous and sloths and Gluttons!
My grandfather had to carry his two sisters out to the street and lay them on the curb. He avoided serving in ww1 and avoided the flu. He lost his house in the depression 😢he was poor but never complained. I loved him. Thankyou God.
Who's watching this because of the whole Whuhan thing?
People today really have no concept of how bad things like this can get.
ye
This actually came across my suggestions due to a video I watched about the Wuhan Coronavirus but I was born in an age where we learned about all these outbreaks. Unlike today, people really have no clue how bad t hings can get, but how strong we are as a people working together to find cures. I think it's good for those who aren't aware of past illnesses to learn through great documentaries like this one because it helps them to understand not to believe a lot of the manipulative hype we see in the media as well.
There is no need to panic about these outbreaks unless you are in direct contact with areas associated with them for the most part. We have come a long way with technology and we will find a vaccine for the Coronavirus

@@laughinghawk8522 Remember, Swine Flu is almost as same as Spanish flu, except it didn't mutate. Also it was way less infectious thanks to people's public health and being careful. It wasn't though easy to do this during war, while men had to go to fight against one another with likely chance to never be alive.... or healthy again.
Anyone else binge watching documentaries about this stuff while stuck inside? Crazy situation huh.
centuries of causiative disasters without distance. Always until it's too late.
Looks like history, I mean, people didn't learn the history lesson! Yes Mark, this is crazy and scary! 😳
Yes an it's freaky 🙏
Yep. These are very revealing.
Yep...
My grandfather died from this flu. He was only 28 years old. It left my 2 year old father and his baby sister fatherless and financially destitute. I never got to meet my grandfather as I wasn't born till 36 years later. This event changed the entire future history of my family. And if this wasn't bad enough my dad had to face the great depression, World War II and becoming a disabled veteran. It was a very dangerous stretch of years....1918 through 1946 ,__________POST SCRIPT follow up due to the unexpected many replies: My dad was a disabled vet (1st Leut. US Army Infantry) from so many shell fragments the WW2 era surgeons left most of it in him, He had shrapnel fused into his bones, indentations all over his body, nerve damage and emotionally damaged. He was picking small fragments out of his arms till the day he died (usually the pain dulled from heavy drinking) He used the GI bill to go to Notre Dame University in Indiana, and ended up with a Masters in Economics and a PHD in Political Science. He was a college Professor his entire life after the war. He taught at Boston College and finished his career at Bentley University in Waltham, Ma. He died at 83 with his mind as sharp as a 20 year old.
Your Dad is obviously a strong, resilient man. To go through all of that shows an incredible amount of strength. I thank you for his service. You come from good stock ! You should be very proud.
@@lburns7952 Thank you for your kind words. Yeah, my dads life was rough but not to leave my mom out of this.....she was one of 13 (yes thirteen) children living through the great depression as well. She just passed away at 96 years old. Her father, my other grandfather actually lived through the 1918 flu. I was told he stated that had had never been so sick in his life and thought he would die.
Truth Stalker you poor poor victim
Oh I’m so sorry
@Truth Stalker You're assuming that his g-whatever-parent was a Southern slave owner; how big(goted) of you. He may have been an abolitionist, a Yankee soldier, or even a soon-to-be immigrant.
Gotta love how this documentary, made 4 years ago, ends: “could this happen again?”
The only difference is covid-19 was not a natural virus like the spanish influenza virus was. And the spanish influenza was way more infectious,it had an R-0 of 100 compared to covid-19 R-0 was 7.
@@iallreadyknowsunshine57 this is incorrect. The Spanish flu had an R0 of around 2-3. This is the same R0 of COVID when it first emerged, but since then it has continuously mutated to become more infectious, with some estimates saying the R0 is 18.6 (which makes it more than measles), but it’s difficult to estimate it’s actual R0 due to population immunity. This virus is behaving differently than the flu
@@adede233 after Covid first came on the scene for a few weeks hospitals were saying people died from Covid even when they actually died from something else. They had to keep their numbers up.
@@dadeleemurphy85 In my state, Alabama, approx 1 in 230 people have died from Covid. How bad does it need to be?
@@dadeleemurphy85 It has still killed more than WW 1. 18 million and counting. Spread by moronic mask less working class as before, but not always, and airplanes. Mainly dem good old deathplanes. We learned fuck all from the Spanish flu. If the death spreading mask less youth had fucking died instead of the middle aged and elderly, maybe the history books could have creaked open. I doubt it.
My grandmother was pregnant with my uncle when she contracted this flu. Even though 75% of pregnant women died, she and my uncle survived. They lived in Chicago.
My father had a 7 year old sister who died of this flu & my grandfather(mother's father)the family took a bottle brush, wrapped it with some cloth & jammed it down his throat to help him breathe & that is what saved him & he lived until 1970!!!!!
@@RonSafreed- They did have effective ways of doing things then. Glad he was saved!
@@travelhog- Chicago was a wonderful place in 1918.
Good. I am GLAD, for that.
@@RonSafreed Wow !!
My great grandmother and her two daughters both died from this flu back then in Greece. It left my grandmother behind as an orphan😢. Her father and brother never returned from war, presumably died. She was raised by her uncle and aunt .. and later married my grandfather the most wonderful and handsome man, they had 7 children..one passing away at 2 yo. He soon died of starvation during ww2 😢, leaving her a widow with 6 kids, my mum one of them. I am named after that grandmother who lived to be 87🥰 and never complained once in her life, such an angel🙏..Everyone please stay safe from viruses. 🙏
God bless you my love. Sorry for your loses.
Thank you for sharing. Great way to make it real
Tough woman

@Archelaos Archon Why is there always ONE who HAS to argue...who HAS to be right?....ie. YOU? !!!
This is the best documentary I've ever seen on the "Spanish" Flu Epidemic of 1918 - far better than "American Experience" or anything else. Thank you for doing this!
And I like that they listed the sources of the information at the end.
Seriously? How many have you seen? This was such a bad presentation, I think I contracted the subject matter.
"The way we respond to the next epidemic could be the difference between life and death"
I'd say you nailed it on that one
now put that mask back on!

My father lost both his parents from the Spanish flu,he became an orphan with all his siblings, he was 5 at the time. I remember him telling me how awful it was...
If it’s true that sucks...
I understand. Placing flowers this year took on a new meaning for me when I seen all those headstones of people who died during the 1918 flu. One whole section dedicated to those who died: ages 2-50 years old. Never under estimate your enemy. stay on the offense.
HI, how are you? would you like to share your contact with me? i am a researcher and conducting research on the COVID-19 Pandemic and want to know something from you. thanks in advance
@@bakhtzada7969 My credit card details?
No it sucks for real life
The documentary everyone must see during this tough Corona virus times..
@Tom Ace It's a new virus you tit. Of course you didn't watch the video. These viruses can come in waves, with each being worse than the last. You are the exact type of person that anyone talking shit is directing it at and also the exact mindset that will lead to history repeating itself at some point.
Tom seems like the type to wipe his ass and walk right out the bathroom door. Hopefully this 🦠 takes out a lot of dumb asses.
I recall as a young boy in the 60s, walking through the cemetery where most of our family are buried and seeing numerous head stones with 1918 as the year of death and the deceased being both young and old. It was some years later that l read about the great flu epidemic throughout the world in that year and made the connection.
This was as tragic as the war itself and even more so because the enemy was invisible and non predudicial.
My grandfather was a medic in WWI. He tended to the Spanish flu victims and the wounded in the mud filled trenches. Friends from his hometown of Youngstown Ohio would pass away right beside him. It is a miracle he survived. He suffered the rest of his short life with shell-shock, PTSD, insomnia and nightmares. He came home and worked in the Carnegie steel mills. He died aged 47, far too young. My Dad was just 14, and had to go to work to help support the family.
Heroic father sister.

Compliments to the woman who did the narration for this documentary. Well done.
Well done documentary.
Thank You.
Who was she ?
Yesssss this is one of the best ive seen. I wish I could have had documentaries like this when i was in school.... I may have paid attention more😊😊😊😊 Great Video
Her reading was fine but, the recording quality is mediocre
And the creepy music
Daniel M. Yes she did an awesome 👏 job...well done! And she kept it interesting.
One of the better put together documentaries I've seen on the subject. Chock full of facts without the usual pulling on the heart strings fluff most productions have, which leaves room for more facts. Thank you.
Well said the things I was going to post. Whoever did this doc (sounds like a school project) did an excellent job of posting succinctly almost all of the things I've read in 250-300 page books and other docus (such as "We Heard the Bells" and the American Experience episode on the Spanish flu. Excellent work indeed. Poor Jack, I hope his rescue coloring book still has some unused pages.
I agree. Well done.
@Bengt Handlebars uh, if you haven't noticed, this is TH-cam. THIS is not a place for your unicorn "facts".
There is another video around here, an interview with author John Barry who wrote "The Great Influenza". It is excellent and there are several others that are scientific lectures. I was shocked by one apparently given to doctors who asked some very basic questions. I wonder what they were taught in medical school!
@Jack D it isn't callous. Common sense tell you it was a heartbreaking time. I prefer a more educational route myself. I've got a brain . No over embellishment needed.
I take hat off and bow to all those nurses and doctors who were front line fighting the disease and whose death toll is not even mentioned.
Thats what happened to the doctors and nurses in China.
I think their death toll is included in the actual count. I do believe they are unsung heros.
Do you just like taking your hat off?
Always like that. Nobody will give a damn for the people does the dirt low paid work
@@zampieritto Reminds me of feminists wanting more women in stem but not in manual labor.
True story. My great Uncle Pete contracted the Spanish Flu and was sent to a city hospital in New York City. The hospital was bursting at the seams with flu patients and it was the dead of winter. To free up beds asap, the staff would put dying patients out on the fire escapes and wait for them to die. Well, one morning my Uncle Pete woke up to find himself lying on a fire escape. He began banging on the window to be let back in. He was a scrapper, Uncle Pete.
Actually was not spanish at all but an American flu born in Kansas USA 🇺🇸
OUR OWN GOVERNMENT UNLEASHED IT ON US💔🤬😡🤬😠😡
@Mohamed Epstein Technically you are kind of correct, however there are certainly no lies surrounding this as you claim.
The virus erroneously called the Spanish 'Flu caused a significant degree of immunosuppression, causing opportunistic/secondary bacterial infection of the lungs leading to pneumonia.
The bacteria involved were from resident colonies typically found in the nasopharynx (nose and throat).
So yes, many people did die of bacterial pneumonia, a secondary infection and complication of viral influenza, but again no deception or conspiracy involved.
The information is readily available is historical public health records. Also bear in mind that once the rate of deaths escalated, all clinical services were completely overloaded, consequently the issuing of death certificates waned and no more autopsies we’re performed. There could have been any number of causal factors.
Whilst records were maintained, bacterial pneumonia was the predominant cause but other complications such as renal failure were also on a statistical list of around 10-12 primary causes of death.
Is it true that the number of death due to Spanish Flu is larger than the number of death due to Covid?

This is why knowing our history is very important. We can learn a lot from the past. Thanks for posting this video
Only those with common sense and open minds.
Right
@@redharvest8981 Man repeats history because most people are too ignorant/stupid/LAZY to define their reality from a more wide perspective based on what happened in the past and what those lessons were and what they led to. Most people only define themselves and their entire world from what they see NOW. If you point out worrying and disturbing trends to them they just ignore it because they assume *everything* they have is always going to be there - it's all to be taken as granted.
"If you truly look at history for every kingdom for every country for every government the only future it holds is destruction they destroy themselves with in greed , power , ext." This is only true for some countries, not so for others. Some countries are currently investing heavily in green energy and to become "energy self-dependent" in the future. Naturally such a green energy project is expensive and costs the tax payers a lot of money but it's far wiser than spending a fortune on arms. Other countries have taken very little steps into moving away from fossil-fuel based energy. Those will be in the sh*tter in the future once fossil fuels will be scarce and very expensive to extrakt. The countries who looked a little further will be able to make this switch into self-sustaining energy with way less problems.
Some countries have invest a lot into their population, their education and their health. These countries generally trust their governments. Why? Because they obviously care for them and makes their lives better. Countries in which their governments have lied to them again and again or actually controlled by powerful corporations and financial powers have little support among their population.
Even banks in some countries are better prepared for "bad days" than those of those countries who make high risk loans and have big profits as driving forces.
You say for EVERY country. That is wrong. You probably haven't studied too many countries. Some are indeed only building for war and greed. Others are far more focused on internal stability and long term goals having a step by step strategy.
So true
Knowing history isn't going to help. How many times have there been a pandemic and not once have they thought or started building a plain for it. Besides it's a real good scare and control tactic. Georgia guidestones said to keep it under 500,000,000. We gotta cut the numbers some how
My father almost died from this when he was 8 yrs old , recovered thank God, and lived to be 82, rest in peace daddy.
Pro Michael Worobey The genesis of the 1918 Pandemic explains why YOU may be less likely to get sick
@@danjackson9135 thank you for the information I'll look into that
My girlfriends great grandmother had a son age 6 who caught the 1918 flu, he complained of being very thirsty. The local doctors told people not to give victims water, tea or juice & he died quickly. A week later the doctors admitted they were wrong & said to give victims liquids. His older sister remembers her mom pacing around the house crying that she killed her son, she probably lived with the guilt until she died...sad.
@@billolsen4360 sorry to hear that. Things were different then. They said it didn't affect children much but in your case and my father's case it did.My father told me they had the priests come to the house and give him last rites.
@@Tom-ld9hp Yes, it was a strange flu in that young health adults 20-40yo were the most likely to die from it. Survive WW1 at age 19 & die of the flu at age 20.

Have to disagree, this documentary seems to be a conglomeration of a lot of overzealous quotes from people or media at the time which we would now consider clickbait.
The truth is the death toll from the Spanish Flu in the United States was 0.64%... a very large number and undoubtedly a horrific loss of life, however it well less than 1% of the total population, that means if you were alive at the time of the Spanish Flu you would for the most part have a 99% chance of not dying.. The narrative of this his video portrays am apocalyptic movie type scenario where virtually everyone is dying, that was not the case. In reality at the time most people did not know there was even a pandemic and going on, it was not talked about by almost any country in the world for fear of looking weak in the face of a World War, except for of course Spain who was not involved in a war which is why it was dubbed the "Spanish Flu"
never cared a day about Spanish flu. Barely knew about it
coronavirus hits, watches every documentary about pandemics
Sarah Nowhere in my comment does it say I don’t care about history. Get a sense of humor.
If you like audiobooks there are a lot of very good ones. My favorite is Spillover. How viruses from the wild jump from animal to humans. You should check it out.
Kristan, Spanish flu was in 1918, it killed people in as little as 12 hours, caused spontaneous bleeding from mouth, nose eyes ears and complete shut down of body. TREMENDOUSLY more deadly and contagious. See the TH-cam VIDEO on it.
We are all like that. We always believe this can't happen to us.
at least you are honest. most people act like their irrational responses are acceptable, maybe even norrmal.

And yet president want us to go back to work ASAP
@@SG-tf1fx Yes, On Sunday the President was talking about extended self isolation, schools staying closed for the rest of the year and so on. I don't know who discussed what on the hill but, by the next day he was talking about how we were going to try to get everyone back to work and we were going to beat the virus sooner than expected. Then came those words I knew were coming. He said that America was not built to close down and businesses and the STOCK MARKET were going to be better than ever. It's all about the money once again. That's why the Bible says, THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL. When you love money more than anything or anyone else, bad things are bound to happen. Continue to pray and listen to God and our National Health Advisors. I will continue to self isolate. Think about it. The 2 men Health Advisors were not at the speech given last night and the President would not say why. This is getting really scary but, My faith and hope rest with God.

My grandfather caught the flu in France during the Great War. He lost his hearing. He received a pension and he wore hearing aids for the rest of his life. He was a great man.
Sorry to hear that he went deaf, but glad he came home. I had a great uncle who survived gas and wounds only to die in France on 11/10/1918. He had just written to his mother that he was getting better, then suddenly just died. We think it was the flu.
You may have just made a comment that could explain something,my grandad was very poorly after the war,he was in a sanitarium.He caught Spanish flu but pulled thru,he was dead,and couldn't speak well.I put it down to his injuries,when I was born,I too was deaf,grandad and I were inseparable,we sort of made our own thing up to communicate.I know realise the lovely old boy was possibly dead because of the flu.He died in the 70's.but had been in and out of Claybury,a mental institute a few times,as he had what we today call PTSD.I still have the shell case that caused the explosion in the Trench that killed his mates to.They all joined up together in London,grandad lied about his age.He was 15.They all so wanted to fight for their country.A whole generation nearly wiped out.So glad I read your post.Thank you.
I just learned that those who were not treated with newly recovered Aspirin, ( 100 times more than needed) mostly survived!!!! Important, that overdosed Aspirin stopped hearts beating!

This is the best video about the Flu of 1918 that I have watched and shared. As a high school teacher, it is a great resource that's not too long, yet appropriately comprehensive.
The narrator's voice is clear, balanced and free from emotions - It's just information. Great. That's called a proper documentary.
That doesn't make it accurate, and it's not accurate.
Nice voice too. I could listen for hours.
I disagree; I wish they had hired a trained voice actor.
@@matthewscott7198 like the advertisement voice on NPR?
I thought it was those robot voices like on r/reddits videos 😂😂😂
I think the saddest thing about this video is that something of this magnitude, still wasn’t able to bring humanity together. This should have been the moment when we realized that we really need each other, but nope. After miraculously surviving this devastating ordeal, we went on to have the civil rights movement, more wars, atomic bomb, Middle East conflict, etc. I just don’t understand what it is going to take for us to stop hating each other.
this makes me want to cry
dont know how you figured that when the best chance for survival was to STAY AWAY from each other but whatever
Yes Ma’am !!!
God have mercy . Forgive us.
May we see our ways and change for the better.
Yes!!!🙌🙌
It kills me that my high school history classes 30 years back just completely glossed over this event. Talk about doing everything wrong and here we are again.
Probably because when you did in to it, the official story is full of holes and lies. There was no virus or flu, there was a mass poisoning via vaccination. Research it.
Our government, education system etc. never take responsibility for much of anything.

Douglas Wiencek. It wasn’t bad luck that we have an destroyer of a central government & incompetent even at his shameful corruption (remember the perfect phone call ? Telling FBI Director in his first few months how he’d like the talk about Russian interference in out just past election to “go away “ This guys was the 3 stooges of corruption all by himself ) it happened BECAUSE the way it did precisely because. Donald trump destroyed the CDC and many safeguarding agencies that would have happened “everywhere else” just like the last 5 under 3 different administration. This isn’t partisan. Sure in general Democrats invest more n federal programs which include the preventative safeguards Trump dismantled entirely But that’s the point. No responsible leader with half a brain who reads books which trump does not do. ... would have dismantled the CDC center for disease control. NO LEADER in 100 years would have forgotten his or her #1 job. to protect the citizens of this country from the influx of war and disease. Make no mistake about it. This is Donald Trump legacy. His virus. It was no luck at all that a country could forget what we had to lose but this country did. But the good luck is the difference between losing 5% or the population with an absolutely useless federal government (he’s fired every singles position in his admin and replaced the secretary 3 there’s no expertise. Trump assigned individuals to head up committee Ss whose record showed a career of trying to destroy its existsnce. This was all surrreal enough until it became life and death in early March ) and losing 30-45% of the population has this been a deadly virus. Deadly as in affecting everyone with or without existing conditions equally That diagnosis is basically a death sentence within 72 hrs. However these strains would be harder ton carch and to spread Corona spreads by air and stays potent on inanimate surfaces for hours or even daysbdeoendinf on surface but corona attacks the lungs in a slower bless aggressive way that enables healthy strong people to sustain life until it runs its course. Can you imagine what we’d be going through to had this virus been a killer because even harder to catch this president woukd have done precisely what he didn’t do for months after any other would have. So a deadly virus would have spread in this country. So that’s the good luck. The lesson of Donald Trump we only have to have for two months of a virus and whatever time we have left until his term is through and a virus that the majority of people can sustain life well it takes it’s course that’s a good news if this virus was not an action is a virus happened because of Trump He owns every life lost and the decades it will take or economy to come back from what might resemble the Great Depression of 1926. These tend to happen after an illness ravages every facet of an economy in a nation. No more asking what do we have to lose unfortunately we found out and but we had it easy so we are going to survive Next time it won’t happen because we will ever elect another trump. Not for a century anyway. Iif tgr planet lasts half that long. Live for today.
Like us in 2020
How my grandfather survived WWI, going to France, serving on the front line, not getting wounded, or sick still amazes me. He chewed and smoked and lived to be 76.
My great grandpa is 101,and yeah he survived by drink alcohol ,and he also carried the people who had the flu.
At the age of 17 my grandfather was rescued from a trench in France. He was in shock and lying on the rotting bodies of all his comrades. They had been mustard gassed. He lived to marry and have five children. But my mother always said 'he was not quite right'. I wonder why.
Same my grandfather fought WW1 and smoke 40 cigaretes a day and die at 76 . Hope for his genes
That chewing and smoking finally got him.
JK. Tough generation. Much tougher people than the lightweights we have today.
Amaze me chewing is smoking and living to be 76
Best documentary ever! Factual, informative, and well presented. The narrator's voice is exceptional too. So glad that was recommended to me. Bravo!
Wow, you should maybe, I don't know . . . watch some other documentaries maybe? Just a thought.
i had a friend that just died she was 105 she was born in 1916 and lived through the 1918 flu
and she also lived through Covid-19 she passed away in December having lived through 2
wold plagues she died of old age the doctor told us.

Must have been unvvaaxxed. Nobody lives that long with poisons injected into them.
Outstanding documentary! One of the best I've ever seen on TH-cam. I recommend everyone watch this, especially in light of the current COVID-19 pandemic.
Mr. Powers did you watch Prof Michael Worobey The Genesis of the 1918 pandemic: From 1872 to
Recent. UFO.
That was very interesting documentary short film
Its a complete lie.
@@pmc8119 why?? explain and prove please!!!!!
How about we start paying HEALTHCARE WORKERS LIKE CELEBRITIES?
Atleast they deserve it...
Have you been to a doctor recently?
Celebrities are over paid and underworked unlike healthcare workers.
Because celebrities get paid to promote things to the fans. These ppl don't have fans to promote producta
Atleast isn’t a word.

I agree!!! We are risking our lives to save yours!
The Spanish Flu of 1918: My dad, who is a decorated W.W.II U.S. Veteran, was born in 1918. He just turned 102-years-old on March 16, 2020. It must have been a terrible time to be alive, then, watching everybody die all around you and feeling helpless and hopeless, fearing that maybe you could be next. God rest the souls of all those who died - but also the souls of all those who had to endure their comrades, their friends, and their families expiring right in front of their very eyes, especially all the orphaned children and all the abandoned children left to die of starvation by others, for fear that they could become infected, too. Take care of yourself and your family. Guard against exposing yourself and others to the novel coronavirus, COVID19. Follow all the guidelines, rules, and procedures that your local, county, state, and/or national governments enforce or recommend.
wow 102 amazing!
We wish your dad to be safe and sound!!

Great documentary. I thoroughly appreciate your use of secondary sources and historiography. Thank you! A joy to watch.
I love documentaries like this. Pure facts, no fancy stuff, no agenda.
also Prof Michael Worobey The Genesis of the 1918 pandemic: From 1872
@G G 🤣👌
I like that they didn’t sugar coat anything
How would you know there was no agenda attached? We didn't live in it and the same powers ("elite" families) were running the show in the background, plus more importantly they still controlled the flow of information via newspapers, magazines, information posts, etc.
The only difference now is that the technology in which information is delivered has advanced.
All I'm saying is we don't know and belief is the enemy of knowing.....we have no way of knowing. The one thing we do know is that the system we live under is parasitic and the people pulling the strings are psychopaths.
We must always question everything.
BTW - This was not meant as an attack on you in any way. I'm just trying to provide a different way of looking at this information because in the end we have no way of knowing with any degree of certainty.

Humanity must read from history, only the truth can teach us to treasure peace .
Over 100 years later and thousands of people are dying from lack of sufficient medical equipment/resources in Italy and around the world. Guess we haven't come as far as we thought.
"Socialist" states are faring so much better, but in America it could collapse their entire society
About 1.5 million Americans have Corvid 19, tomorrow it will be 3 million, the day after that 6 million
2% of 330 million is 6.5 million americans about to die, that's the BEST case scenario. If the real death toll is 8% we are talking 26 million dead, and if it MUTATES into something even more Deadly...
Americans sat on their privileged hands and the clock just ran out, well, I wish I could say it's been fun USSA 👍
Not only that,but some kind of vaccine should've been developed YEARS AGO just in case of another PANDEMIC such as the CORONAVIRUS,just hard to understand...

I appreciate this so much ! Will be sharing !
@@lisas44 and the reason it was only a blip in the US? Because other governments responded quickly and appropriately.
Profound.
@@Allyourheroswenttohell From Business Insider: "The CDC shipped 90 test kits to state public health labs on February 6 and 7. By that point, the US had only confirmed about a dozen coronavirus cases, including two cases of person-to-person transmission." Now were there problems after that, yes. Also didn't help that in late February, Nancy Pelosi encouraged people to come out and celebrate Chinese New Year. And folks in downtown Atlanta didn't take the stay at home order seriously and people use Walmart for social hour.
My Sunday school teacher and dear mentor, lost two brothers to the Spanish Flu, he and his large family cared for them in their home. No one else in the family died of that flu. Loved his
Love of history and ability to share in such detail. He passed away 40 years ago and I still miss his insight.
To everyone fearing COVID-19 or sick with it, I send compassion and empathy. We are all family.

@Michelle Vesely stfu you are crazy
@Hannah Dyson:
No, it would never have. Sure, we would have had outbreaks worldwide, but we would not have had the mass panic and the needless loss of millions of jobs.
What we needed to do from February onward was mandate face masks worldwide, sanitized and implemented the physical spacing measures.
It’s so nice to read your compassionate comment in this crazy mad world. 💙💙
This should be covered in every high school syllabus. I wish I was taught this in high school. I only knew a little about it because many of my grandfather's siblings died during this pandemic. If the public knows the important facts surrounding a disease, they are able to better help self-manage it so that the medical staff are not overwhelmed in a crisis. Self-quarantine is the best remedy for a highly transmissible disease.
The courage and commitment of the doctors, nurses and other folk in the medical community. Just wow..
I worked in the medical field for over a decade. I never caught anything. It's got nothing to do with courage, it's all about training.
@@Bryan-Hensley Glad you made it through Bryan.
@@errolneal9789 what I'm trying to say is you and I both can keep from getting this ongoing virus if you will just learn how viruses move around. It's you that gives the virus to you. The virus doesn't have wings or legs
@@Bryan-Hensley I agree to some extent. My original comment extends from an attempt to place myself in the shoes of those who were on the front lines of fighting the virus. When you see your [seasoned] peers and colleagues contracting and succumbing to the virus, no amount of training and preparation would stop the fear I'd feel or develop that I am going to contract the virus and die as well.
That fear would put me direct conflict with my duties to care and comfort those individuals who are battling the disease.
In my opinion, this takes courage, dedicated and steadfastness to continue to care for those sick folks knowing that you will very likely be on one of those very beds..
@@errolneal9789 I agree with that
I learned more from you than I heard from anyone I’m interested because my grandfather died from it but I really never heard too much about why or when thank you so much.
My grandfather was a mortician in northern Alabama during the Spanish flu. He had a nervous break down due to having to prepare the bodies of numerous friends for burial and only having five hours sleep over seven days. Needless to say he did not talk about the event much. He was only 18 years old.
are you sure? fake.
Noel Pina I don’t give a damn whether you believe it’s fake or not. It’s my family history and I know what’s the truth
Did they say not to revive them to back them to or mother earth is sick of man kind i look at yall like animals im fear no man im really to go home this place yall call earth is hell in my eyes let her work she nows best or is it that the government or the ecosystem cant hold this many people so they take away the medical system that and give hospital fake meds i still live a normal live ready to go home i fear no man mad or what they create but people would say crazy i say i dont need this world ,this world needs me or this world does not exist the second coming of Christ is your judgement day. He will not come shake your hand as he once did when no one believe it up to you now this will end once the government gives fake hope so they will feel in control but what do i know think what you want dont shoot the messenger i walked with him and for some reason he told me what was going on and that the man kind was acting in a way many people wouldnt believe because you want listen this will be over so they feel like they save people and they dont do anything anti Christ we will have many in the white house and when Christ is not in chruch is one sign but then i look crazy to i will go on the make life look normal to my family and my love ones and i show because i stay sane to but tell who i can or i look crazy i know the sign read the Bible if you want to know more and think what you want dont shoot the messenger
I see the outpatients are out in force tonight.🙄
Stop haveing kids because you want to have sex that yalls promblem not living godly ways and he is here to stop how it should be done yall act like hell animals you eat meat drink unholy water what do you think will happen this is not a party to have fun but yall have lost your way because the teachings of your fathers or man kind get it together you sick people and do what is right for once or i could end it all because yall make me tire of this mess or cut the damn thing off if you dont use it right wed lock i hope god put the fear in everyone and the virus never stops or is it all a joke the choice is your you have a mind but you fail before you will again thats why he has just about lost faith in us and i dont blame him
My grandmother was 18 and had fragile lungs. She nursed her best friend who had been perfectly healthy until she caught the Spanish flu. Her friend died. My grandmother never even had the flu. Previous bouts of influenza apparently gave people some immunity, while healthy people who had never been sick one day in their life died like flies...
Big mo, it's called reading comprehension.
@Big Mo It's Ironic Mo.
When I was 9 years old. I had pneumonia and I remember being very sick. I almost died. I was weak.
I didn't eat I couldn't breathe and I was coughing up blood. I had a high fever that was so bad my parents said that I was hallucinating. My doctor said it was a miracle that I lived .
It was really scary. That was like probably the sickest I have ever been in my life.
I've had bouts with the flu a couple of times throughout the years.
I'm 38 years old now. I do my best to live a very healthy lifestyle.
jessica Garcia I had pneumonia when I was 8, back in 1973. Then asthma. And TB spots several times (my grandmother had antibiotic resistant TB and it was contagious). Second-hand smoke was almost everywhere. Antibiotics saved my life quite often in my childhood.
I found this to very educational. This should open all our eyes how fragile life can be.
Very true indeed ✌️
🙏
@Markus Patients I do agree on that 😃 too
Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.
The only thing we learn from history is that we never learn from history.
History does not repeat itself, at least exactly. But we can certainly talk about repetition of trends and patterns. :)
The vaccine is what caused it. And you are right.
@@haymaker710 Yep Covid 19 is a perfect example of not learning anything from the Spanish Flu.
@@Deep.Purple
The vaccine caused it??
Are you an anti vaxer by chance??
i got chills at the end when she said, "the way we respond to the next big epidemic could mean the difference between life or death."
see Prof Michael Worobey the genesis of the 1918 pandemic
We have yet to experience such an epidemic. Covid isn't it. Not by a long shot. Deaths are on par with last years flu deaths. There is a vaccine agenda being pushed. That's all this is. Wait and see.
Louise Lyman the fuck do you mean a vaccine agenda
Louise Lyman we are in the first wave of Covid which seems we partially have it tamed because we have shut everything down, now everyone wanting to go back to work the 2nd wave will happen and be 10 times worse just like with the Spanish flu. There isn’t a conspiracy about making vaccines that’s ridiculous! Wake up or you just maybe infected and if so prayers your one of the ones that make it through.......
@@LALyman223 I hope there's a vaccine agenda. I will be first in line.
this needs to be shown everywhere TODAY!!
I shared on fb :)
it fucking is. that's literally how the internet works.
It needs to be shown in schools
The problem is people who think - it's not going to happen to me. We all should be doing our part not to spread contamination.
Was this biowarfare?
My mother had the flu in 1918 at the age of two the doctor had looked at her and said she’d be dead by morning. Her father and two aunties who were not ill worked with her all night to reducer her fever and they succeeded. Our family has been grateful she survived or none of us would be here. Never ever heard about it in school and I started school in 1956. It’s almost like history wanted to forget.
I was exposed in New Orleans two days ago. I'm not going anywhere for two weeks.
Brenda Comeaux I got the Corona virus, back in 2013 and was really sick. you have to stay hydrated, it’s the most important thing if you get it. I’m aware Covid-19, is not the same. I’m not sure if I’m immune, or not.
@@trayvonjackson4830 The past two nights I've been super thirsty, unquenchable thirst. I don't know much about it myself and that's what scary. I really hope you're immune but I don't think the so-called experts know that I guess because every strain is a bit different.
My Grandmother, then 22 caught it and withstood it. She told me many people including children died it from it. I remember colds never affected her, as she had developed powerful defenses, she could walk in the rain, and get all wet and it did not affect her at all.
your grandmother is a legend✨
Wow extraordinary!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️
I'm the same way, It's as though I don't catch a cold until every 8 -10 years,I use to try to catch a cold,by going barefooted,No jackets on outside in the cold,I even walk in the snow one time sleeveless and no shoes on, Still not one sniffles! That was back then in my younger days! Even though I'm 51 years of age now and still don't catch a cold, I'm very careful not to test faith, Especially with this COVID-19 Mess 😲😔🙏🏾🙏🏾
Don’t catch cold from rain
good for your grandma but walking in the rain and getting wet has nothing to do with getting a cold. The cold is viral so someone has to be carrying the virus for others to get sick. If you live all alone in Antarctica you will never get a cold even if you go swimming in freezing waters or stand naked in the middle of a blizzard. Thats is why the safest place on earth during the worst first days of covid (March-April 2020) was ironically aboard the last cruise ships still sailing like the MSC Magnifica. They set sail on January 5th and because they had no contact with people outside the ship it returned to port with not even one case of COVID on April 20
After watching this, I can say with 100% certainty that most people don’t realize just how absolutely horrific the Spanish Flu of 1918 was... 🤯
And you did?
@Kasey Because it was not a Spanish Flu...It was a US Flu...that Wilson decided to name it so after Spain sounded the alarm about how US sick soldiers on their way to fight in Europe were sick with an epidemic...If they would have taught this in schools they would also have to add and explain why this was allowed to happen by the president...He knew about it but kept it under the rugs because there was a Congress election going in in the middle of his second term in office...But his party lost both, the House and the Senate...His cover up of the truth did not help his party win...Conservatives won
Play pandemic the game. The high kill rates scare you. The virus with low ones kill the world
Israel Beltran
I knew of the 1918 Spanish flu and I knew that the world’s population actually declined that year due to the war and this flu. But I never considered how terrible this flu actually was.
Of Course not, We were not alive
This seems to be forgotten history and thats insane to me. We hear about the dust bowl, the great deoression, the world wars - but this gets left out. The past 100 years have been such a trip.
What part of the world do you live where they don't teach you about the Spanish flu? Common knowledge here in North America...
@Tina Butterfly We're auctioning off hand sanitizer....which used to cost a dollar!...only last month!
Of course, OUR president doesn't know anything about this history... but YOU know he cut the funds to the CDC & wants to sit on every news report...censoring it! ...Hmm Do you have to go out of your way to make it worse!?! "No trouble; no trouble at all."
We were never taught about it when I was in school. I learned about it from a PBS documentary maybe 20 years ago.
One of the best docs I have seen. Just facts and pics. Perfectly done.
Very informative and interesting documentary. I really enjoyed watching this video. I subscribed. This is one of my favorite subjects. Excellent voice and narration. Great photo footages and poems. A gem of a documentary of the swine flu of 1918.
My Lord...this documentary was so depressing that it left me speechless. The lesson learned in the video is this; we should all take care of ourselves and each other because it may be later than we think. People let us love each other. We're all we got in an uncaring and hostile universe. GOD bless us all...
I never heard how horrible this was from my parents...only that they did without so many things during the Depression. Of course, my dad was born in 1928, 10 years later, and my Mom was born in 1932, 14 years later. My grandparents must have survived. On set had 10 children. The other set had 4, then 3 by another wife. My parents had 7 children. Thus, baby boomers generation. Now I know why.
Well if its uncaring and some one made it called God then why ask god to bless us?---whoes in charge then i wonder??
Oh my God this made me shocked and think it was like to a corana virus it's so scary 😰😰😰...
YES, Agreed.
Beautifully said. Thank you from England
The tears are flowing. I lost one of my grandfather's to this flu epidemic. He died long before I was born. But I had no idea the details were so tragic. This also really brings home insignificant we are, human beings are, something usually only soldiers learn.
I'm Sorry. Prepare at home with Supplies & also Pray for God's Protection. PRAY that's All We Can Do about it and avoid as many people as possible, Talk to people on the phone. And today We have Video Calls. PRAY Please.

@James Russell; It is Savage and deadly and there are people beginning to think that it was made in a Lab for the Sole Reason that it is Asymptomatic for 24-30 Days and how easily some people just die from it. Also, some people think that if it was made in a Lab, there is Vaccine that could be made from it. That is the Saddest part about it.
@James Russell; I Sure hope So!!! That Sounds Promising. Thank You for the news. I, as many other individuals around the world, were beginning to feel Saddened and very worried about this virus spreading all around the world. I already felt saddened for the Chinese people, and I still do. All the children of China who are going through this and entire families, it truly breaks my heart. I can't even express how I feel. And where I live I see many children everyday and their parents bringing them to the daycare that is literally below my apartment, and I was beginning to feel hopeless.........I didn't want the children and their hard working parents to Suffer. I was Saddened to think that this is the end of many of us, So I hope, that just as in the past, when I was a child living in the Dominican Republic and my mother brought me to a Big line to get immunize and that Saved me from getting Polio, that these children will have a chance at Growing Up healthy as I did. I was feeling So hopeless today, and this news truly brings tears to my eyes.
@James Russell I hope this year doesn't end like the Spanish Flu of 1918, I was feeling So hopeless today.
I have a child and it was breaking my heart to See her and She has no Clue of what's going on in the world.

My great grandmother was a nurse during this epidemic and she passed away because she continued to try to help others. Even while she was supposed to rest, she continued her valiant efforts to help others. Unfortunately, she had only been married for a few years and left her new husband to care for their two children.

You could always call it 1918-H1N1?
I'm deeply moved by the turmoil, uncertainty and hardship of the people during those times. Somehow it makes me examine myself and be introspective...
Bienvenido Velasco probably the Holy Spirit working in your heart. Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand. God loves you! Turn to Him!
@@jacquelinejoy8022 what can personal beliefs do?
@@dlon8899 Believing in god makes people feel like there is a reason to things. Some people need that. I feel like it has the same amount of logic behind it as thinking Betelgeuse (the star) has a reason for being the arm of Aron (the constellation). However, people need what they need.
d Lon not sure. But a personal relationship with Jesus can ensure you go to heaven someday. In Romans the Bible says for the wadges of sin is death. There are 2 deaths, the first from this body. The the death of the soul if we aren't hidden in Christ. Which is hell. Originally prepared for the devil and his angels. God doesn't want us to go there. That's why He sentJesus to die for our sins. He loves you. He wants you to know Him ❤️
I learned about this in college. I researched diseases from 1900 to 1930s. This is great information...scary stuff. History repeating itself...Be blessed 💜

"...the way we respond to the next epidemic could be be a matter between life and death".
Truer words had never be spoken.
Something so devastating got almost no attention when I was in school.
Me too.. Odd isnt it?
I wondered that too, just today. We studied extensively the First World War, but we never studied the Spanish flu, even though it happened in the same time period and in many ways had a greater impact.
I was 60 yrs old before I ever found out about the 1918 flu
Got all the derails about it by watching this about a year ago...way before corona... thought it would be good to watch it again.
I never learned anything about it in school either
Barely learned about it in school too. They brush over these epidemics, like Spanish flu, when learning about them in school, but they never really teach the whole story of the devastation behind the flu. I guess now we are living through another pandemic. More fun learning about it than living through it, that's for sure.
This should be mandatory for all politicians to watch.
According to Trump this is fake news. Obama created it.
As many countries had learned many things since then and had less death with the Corona Virus. Truth.
This video would be a better choice
th-cam.com/video/IcBXMWho3aE/w-d-xo.html
On top of 50 other things.
.......and which politian(s) in question do you believe would take the time out to watch this and actually think it'll change ANYTHING?
History repeats itself because human beings make the same mistakes over and over again.
Bruce Robertson Must watch deaths due to pandemics

We keep making the same mistakes because we don't understand what happened in the past and are too arrogant to learn from the past.
In this case, we weren't even taught about the past, which, in my opinion, is even worse.
Those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it.
but then humans thinks we've "evolved"
@TheMadScotsman mckay darwins trash is a THEORY...NOT FACT..dont use theories as a basis for facts
The flu took my grandfather which I never knew my dad was only a year old always wondered what his dad was like I heard it was so bad they couldn’t bury people fast enough. The coffins were stacked high up in cemeteries.
My grandmother (1900-91) remembered coffins coming out of every house in her street.
That's insane! That means she was 18 in 1918. I'm glad she got to live until she was 91.
Dead Andburied wow she lived through most of the 20th century
It is a disconcerting thing to watch this documentary, 102 years after the Influenza Pandemic, under quarantine from COVID-19. So much of this is relevant.
I hope others will view this and learn.
Terry please watch Geneticist Michael Worobey The Genesis of the 1918 Pandemic: From 1872 to ????
@@danjackson9135 I'll do that. Thank you!
We have no idea how they handled things in the past. this was so long ago.
Thank god we have the technology to test and modern drugs of our day.
it could be worse.
@@rudylovato2759 they did the same thing except they didnt have ventilators back then.
@@molinodesign
They had a very early version of the iron lung in the 1920a.
A man named forest bird invented the modern version of the respirator. a
And it was first widely used in 1978. Replacing the iron lung.
Google the iron lung.
Trump has done a great job and to attack him is wrong.
He kicked butt over the last few months
This was released well before the Coronavirus hit, makes it even more poignant.
Yes apart from Covid seems to not kill as many young healthy people as swine flu did. Although some young and healthy have died, Covid 19 prefers does older, especially over weight with impaired immune systems. Swine flu was much more deadly and took anyone.
@@izzymeadows1748 as well ATM its possible SARS-CoV-2 makes MHC negative cells and Can cloak so the immune system has no idea its even there (its in pre- print Will be peer reviewed soon, as well scans and tests are showing perminent multiple organ damage, even with asymptomatic and pre-asymptomatic people #GoodLuck everyone and #StaySafe from #WindsorOn 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Marc Favell thank you and same to you 🇬🇧
@@izzymeadows1748 HTC dry TVhhfftygfHf:fuh
@@izzymeadows1748 Swine flu was far less deadly. 0.02% compared to 2-4% of COVID.
In the Uk Thosaunds were ofiically recorded in the UK although it was higher and only a few hundred dead . Most young people had underlying health conditions who were dying or of the BAME community.
Most youngsters were getting better at home . Tamiflu wasnt needed.
There was a theory some cross immunity was acquired from great grandparents surviving the 1918 pandemic.
If anything they were trying to reassure younger people at the time that the risk was low .
Great documentary and photos
Had heard about it before, but never this in-depth. Those were some scary times.
same here.
Its happening now, make no mistake.
I had heard about it before, because it killed my paternal grandfather. Likewise, I had never explored it to this extent.
Damn, like fighting in the trenches wasn't bad enough...😬
I guess the saying “Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.” Could not be more accurate than what’s going on right now.
So damn true
Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was ~ David Byrne
Except we have learned? I mean just look at how much better we're doing right now in the covid-19 life cycle compared to where they were with Spanish flu.
Within 100 days, the Spanish flu killed about 4 million people. We are enforcing quarantines left and right and the spread of information about the virus and how quick we are able to react makes it a wonder how we were ever able to even survive the Spanish flu back in 1918.
@@TrippingDaizy You think the US, Japan and others reacted "quickly"?? They responded just like they did in 1918, with denial.
@@JSkyGemini and? We still have quarentined, we aren't sending troops who have the virus through settlements, we don't have cities like Philidelphia just flat out ignoring officials and throwing parades. We also don't share beds and our healthcare has gotten way better since then.
We also have this thing called the internet? Which allows us to have instant communication whereas before messages could take days or even weeks to receive.
Anyone who is actually trying to spin this as of we're anywhere near repeating history when it comes to the Spanish flu is doing so because they have an agenda or they're freaking out without understanding the differences between now and then.
100 years later and we still haven’t learned.
Who is "we"?
Thats exactly what I said the government's still havent learnt anything from the past , still they allow people go fly here there and everh where no wpnder sk many countrys have been affected !
Francis Mewton so true I think they don’t give damn about it’s so sad 😭
"we"
all it takes is a few idiots. this isn't a general population screw up, don't lump everyone into the same category. you need to stop being generic.
@@ilonamacdonaldsagittarius2173 well the government's knew months ago and yet they said send em home ! I said if they got infected why on earth did they send em home no mattef where they came from now were in a mess . The government's should have said no you stay where you are ! That way it would have been contained as well as closing bourders sooner .
Great doc, really interesting! Thanks from 🇬🇧
Almost 100 years to the date, almost. Wow.
And repeating nearly every point made in the vid. From the ship today filled with sick people to china covering up how bad it is instead of Philadelphia back then, to whole cities being closed fully to over populated hospitals, to ppl dying at home, in the streets, to ppl still stupidly traveling the world..... add anti vaxxers today and millions with autoimmune disease or no immune system...... we may be fucked beyond words.
102 yrs later, here we go again. Thks China
And a hundred years of exposure to Chinese Influenza strains. Humans have acquired some in built defense . This Covid-19
won't be anywhere near as devastating as the 1918 outbreak. As it was the. first time humans were exposed to these new species to species virus migrations, mutations.,
@@josephhenry9924 COVID-19 stands at 29.33 deaths per 1000 at the time of me typing this. So you could say it is as bad or near what the 1918 Spanish flu was. That is higher than the flu that comes around yearly and there is no flu shot for COVID-19. COVID-19 just hasn't infected enough people yet.

Huge vaccine campaign before the "pandemic"
Having listened to the commentary, the similarities are on several points incredibly similar to may of the things happening right now across the world - very scary. To anyone reading this please stay home take care of yourselves and those dear to you and the world will overcome, but let us all keep the cost of that victory to the absolute minimum. Stay safe.

You too 🙏I can't afford this virus with my underlying issues and it made me cry when my oldest son explained everything in detail........God Bless Us All 💖🙏
Back then the spread was by returning soldiers,and general ignorance of the world population....This time it was international travel (mainly) and dont care attitude of people not obeying isolation.
I'm kinda of skeptical, but i don't believe corona virus will catch up to the Spanish flu in deaths not yet anyhow. the Spanish Flu consumed something like 56 million worldwide. however in a list of comparisons on how high it's ability to infect compared to other diseases such as swine flu, chicken flu zika or even ebola, the covid 19 came out on top in the number of victims from all over the world so far, those other diseases don't even compare to the covid 19 infection rate capability- so the numbers here can tell you that it's a pretty dangerous disease and we're looking a minimum of 12- 14 weeks we need to let this thing pass us by THE STREETS NEED TO BE SANITIZED WITH CHLORINE CHEMICALS
We are now lockdown for 6 weeks already. There are so many first responders to thank for their services to protect us.
Shirley Hall Must watch deaths due to pandemics

don't complain we have been locked down since March (Italy)
We've been isolating since February 14th. Easy to lose track of time, but we're alright. Gulp, just counted, a little over 10 wks ! This will be necessary for a long time, I think. And like you, Shirley, we're very grateful for the many front line (s)heroes … and all the people who are isolating and working to help stop this dangerous virus !
Very well done. Thank you!
Very fitting that TH-cam is recommending this video during this corona virus outbreak :/
