    The best way to avoid the 1918 flu outbreak was to simply be too young or too old. Those most affected by the disease were between 18 and 28 years old (tragically, the same age group which had done the bulk of the fighting in the war). If you were older or younger, you had a much greater chance of resisting it.

      Actually if you went back in time you'd likely cause a pandemic fun fact!! Because as diseases have been evolving so have we!
      Like H1N1? Caused two pandemics. One in 1918, one in 2009. Killed between 50-100 million in 1918, whereas little over 18,000 did in 2009. I got it in 2009. I got no treatment for it either. Bc for me it was basically just a cold with a mild fever. Seasonal flu is way worse.
      Not to mention there are diseases that exist now that didn't back then; as we're seeing rn with COVID-19, like it's causing all the problems it is bc it's a novel virus - it's new.

    Lots of experts think it originated in Kansas.... They don't know for certain so there's a possibility that it originated elsewhere (China being a commonly quoted possibility) and the first case just HAPPENED to be in Kansas, but most experts say Kansas pretty definitively. Only Americans who don't want the blame try to find alternative explanations.
    To completely ignore that and just say that it definitively originated in China..... Buddy. Like there was another theory that originated somewhere in Europe, and that theory holds just as much water as the China one, yet you don't mention that 🙄
    Also it killed more people that BOTH world wars COMBINED. I feel like that's an important thing to mention to get people to realize its scale....
    EXCUSE ME DO NOT PERPETUATE DANGEROUS INFORMATION!!! Soap is perfectly effective against viruses!!! They are protected by a lipid sheath, and soap binds to fats (lipids, oils, etc. are fats) and water, allowing the virus to lose its protective sheath and be torn apart.
    The only ones this isn't as true for are bacteria phages (the ones with the weird diamond heads and the legs) but those don't really hurt us, they infect bacteria as the name suggests. In fact they've been looked into as a possible treatment for antibiotic resistant bacteria.
    Jfc!!!

    • @highlordlaughterofcanada8685
      @highlordlaughterofcanada8685 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      When did they give dangerous information. Saying "soap isn't 100% effective" is different from saying "don't wash your hands". They're explaining that soap available at the time wasn't the most effective thing against a virus, we've had 100 years to improve soap. Additionally, when someone says it's believed to have originated somewhere, they aren't saying it 100% came from there.

    During the pandemic over crowding in the camps became extremely dangerous, and one doctor ordered the commander that it was dangerous. He ignored what he said, and two weeks later the same doctor came in to say 500 had died, the troop trains became plague trains, 1/3 of the camp was sick , and they had run out of coffins. The commander ordered the doctor out of his office, drew his pistol and shot him self.
