    The flu was the first modern plague-turning our interconnected world against us by spreading through shipping lanes, rail lines and the arteries of industrialized war. Yet it was also the first pandemic of the scientific age, where doctors could to some extent understand what was happening and stand against the infection, though they lacked the tools to stop it.
    Also, say hello to the voice of "professor" Matt!

    My grandmother died in 1918 from this. My mother never knew her. Mom was 14 months old when she died. Her father told mom that her mother was fine on Sunday morning but started feeling bad Sunday afternoon after church. She died in about 24 hours. They buried her on Wednesday. This was in rural Alabama. No one knows who she caught it from. It attacked the strongest and healthiest. This stuff was really, really bad. There is a lesson here if we are smart enough to listen.

    Hey Matt, I know that at this point it's probably meaningless since it's been so long and I don't want to bother you with what's probably a sore subject, but I wanted to thank you for stepping into this channel, and for rising to the occasion so admirably.
    When Dan was hosting Extra History he made it my favorite series on this whole platform, his voice made dusty and boring names on a page into real breathing people with hopes and dreams. He turned a lesson into a proper tale, spun with all the skill of a trained storyteller.
    While your voice wasn't the one that I expected opening this video, it really meant a lot to me that you did so well. You feel like a natural fit here, your voice carries the same gravitas as his but you aren't trying to completely replace him. Rather than his style of grandiose tangents you have a natural hook to the way you speak that makes me want to pay attention rather than just listening in the background of my work like I used to with Dan.
    I guess in the end I just want to thank you for being your own person. You might not care or even see my comment, but it really means a lot to me that you do your own thing instead of doing what many other channels have tried to do by simply replacing the old host with someone similar. You're your own personality and it makes me look forward to the next episode where I get to learn something about my world from you.
    Thank you, Matt, for being you. Thank you for doing it so wonderfully well, and for not trying to just replace the last guy. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job educating me and many others on the topics this channel covers. And finally, thank you for being there to continue a series that means so much me and so many other people. Keep up the fantastic work, I can't wait to see where we get to go next together!
    Also, that suit is snazzy as heck. Looking good buddy!

      Looking back it's easy to see how it could have been a lot worse. The vaccines were deployed promptly and despiite some silly arguments have been deployed more or less effectively. The vaccines didn't kill CoVID but they drastically downgraded it as a threat to life. CoVID can still kill but the world is much safer from it than it was in 2019

      Every year the flu virus mutates into something slightly different than last year. Which is why every year it’s highly suggested to get the new flu vaccine. But, the vaccine is for a “best or best educated guess” of what the mutation will be. Thus the vaccine itself will help your body prepare for the virus in general, but for certain mutations of the flu there won’t be a defense.

    What you have is a Cadceus, the staff of Hermes, a symbol of alchemy, astrology, trade and wisdom in general. While it's an ok symbol you are probably meant to use the Staff of Asclepius, god of medicine. This one has only a single serpent and no wings.

      It's called Spanish Flu because all the warring nations in Europe employed press censorship to keep public morale high, so any reports of disease were repressed. Spain was neutral however, and lacked the censorship of the warring nations. Thus, the first reports of the flu to circulate throughout Europe came from Spain, and so they disease was the "Spanish Flu"

    Keep in mind guys that penicillin is seeing a bit of a decline. We're seeing bacteria become immune to them faster than we can keep up. This is largely because we put penicillin on everything and use it as a treatment very flippantly. If we're not careful we could enter a post-penicillin age. While this would not be apocalyptic it would see medical care get even more expensive and difficult. As a U.S. citizen the thought of that happening in my country especially is terrifying.

      While American and European farmers cut back and are more cautious about using antibiotics, the Chinese have been using them on an industrial scale with no regard for safety or long term effects.

    • @efffvss
      @efffvss 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Two different issues there. Antibiotics have nothing to do with flu, as its caused by a virus. Recent flu strains have come out of China because Chinese farms (and parts of society in general) have a lot more direct animal exposure (plus massive scale), which makes it more likely that a flu virus will develop zoonosis and jump from the livestock to humans. Not to say that systemic antibiotic use in agriculture isn't a massive problem (it totally is, and it's one of the less talked about bad things China does), only that it's a different beast to flu jumping the species barrier.

      You have no idea. Here are the stories that I have read while doing some research into this...
      A doctor who had been out for 20 hours taking care of the victims came home to a wild eyed mother who had a gun. He tried to explain that he was too tired to be any of use until she explained her husband was dead and that she had lost five out of six her children and she was not going to lose to her last to matter who she had threaten to get help. So the doctor picked up his tools and gave up his sleep for the day to help her out.
      Another one was the poor native Americans, especially in places like Alaska. A lot of them were communities where all got sick all at once and they could not feed their dogs. Once left the dogs no choice but to eat the people/bodies. There are many stories of people making contact with villages only to be set upon by wild feral dogs that wanted their flesh. They had to hide in buildings to get away from them and there are stories of people killing dozens of formerly well behaved dogs.
      Finally, in one rural area where there was no care system in place somebody heard a rumor that one of the farmers was a doctor (he was) and you had a human wave of people who were half dead who walked to this guy's yard in the middle of the night and all he could hear was the moaning and crying until he was forced to come out. The guy treated them and the wife acted as his nurse. They all died. Now this would have driven any normal person insane after doing that much effort for nothing. This doctor gave up retirement and headed back out.
      The medical practitioners (nurses, doctors, and everybody else) at the time were the true hero's for the time.

As much as I love Napoleonic history, its already well known to lots of people, at least the basics of it. Still if they decide to do one on Napoleon I will be very happy about that.

      I don't think anti-vaxxers as a major weren't really a thing back then. People lined up around the block when they heard there was a way to get their children to not die from smallpox. When there's a 100% chance that you know someone who died or was crippled by one or more of these terrible diseases, the idea of a cure is magical. The problem was that vaccines were so effective, that few people actually know a person who died from these diseases, but hear all sorts of nonsense about the "dangers" of vaccines.
