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.
You guys should do a series of video on Robert Moses, the man who did the most in transforming the physical landscape of New York and is one of the most polarizing figures in the history of urban development in the United States.
This is eerily like the Black Death in 14th Century Europe, right down to fundamentalist preachers, telling everyone this is God's punishment for their sins
Diseases would roll through towns and kill hundreds and this was going on right up to WW2 in the US. People with communicable sickness in their homes during these plague conditions would put display black flags at their door.
PERIOD! Both my sisters are nurses one who works with immigrant children and my oldest sis working in ICU who both ate surrounded by those ill COVID-19. They still rocking even after one year of the beginning.
Thinking about the nursing staff not only standing their ground but also rushing into the hardest hit areas, as their patients and even colleagues suffered and died all around them, deepens my conviction that we need to celebrate nurses at least as much as we celebrate and glorify the military, if not more.
"The crowd tries to imagine what it's like to be in mortal peril. Little do they know they already are." *OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH SHIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
Because there are people who spread misinformation this has potential to be much more devastation than the disease itself. Having a calm populace is important. Any panic and misinformation can make a "burning fire explode". Humans as individuals are unpredictable and as crowds are chaos.
Many have pointed out already that history repeats itself. And the response is definitely chilling. But if nothing else, at least this reassures me that history will not look kindly on the people perpetuating and ignoring the disease.
For some reason i pictured in my mind 2 twin girls in a darkened room singing this to me... with dead eyes and blue skin... Damn my imagination! It is 11pm here! Thanks for the sleepless night EC!
I remember my grandfather, who was in Kansas City, telling me about seeing trainloads of sick soldiers coming in. Hospitals ran out of room. The boarding house where he lived had a guy who was ill, and being taking care of by the house operator.
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.
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.
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.
Sounds like someone else watches the Cynical Historian's videos. Weird...multiple people on an Extra History video being fans of the same TH-cam historian?
Honestly bless anyone who throughout history was a nurse and anyone who is currently a nurse. Like y'all so important and just do amazing work for the population's health at large
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.
+Extra Credits I've really enjoyed this series about the Spanish Flu! I've been a lover about learning history, but many things are overlooked and forgotten in the public school system. I took AP United States History just last year, and all the book had was exactly two measly paragraphs saying "yea, lotta people died" basically.
Why does it seem there are many parallels between this and the 2019nCoV? I hope we have learned from the past because those who don’t learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. I believe that is paraphrased from George Santayana.
Yeah that is still happening. Exactly what happened here with minimizing the disease is happening now. Its scary. Schools dont teach the 1918 flu epidemic. I guess its not important enough.
No, there aren't. Bodies piled up in 1918, in houses and streets. Here in America, the streets are clear of bodies. And no, that's not because of the measures taken, because the Spanish Flu got in to those who did so anyway...which means, if CV19 were anywhere near as deadly, quarantine is a death sentence.
Well, they probably had less infrastructure to dispense medicine, order quarantaine etc over in Europe where everything was reduced to rubble Granted, any situation where you have a plague andthe resulting paranoia with a dose of uncaring leadership doesn't qualify as "non-chaos" either
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 live in Cleveland which was relatively badly hit too, being a major port city on the lakes. There is a cemetery near my house and you really do notice how many graves are dated 1918-1919
Those cliffhangers are killing me XD Also US president not responding to pandemic, that doesn't sound familiar at all. (Though I'm pretty sure it's not just an American thing...)
I remember when I contracted the flu during the H1N1 epidemic. I felt dead, I couldn't move from my bed because my body felt like lead, and I always felt cold. I can't imagine living through this time.
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.
My maternal grandfather was in Kansas City when the flu was at it's height. He told me about seeing trainloads of sick soldiers coming in to the train stations, and about how there was a patient sick in the boarding house where he lived.

People look at how terrible World War One was to the men in the trenches and how the leaders of these nations seemed to not care for their lives at all. But in the name of war so many leaders would risk the lives of thousands of civilians just to keep up productivity. You could argue as to whether or not that won the war but the millions who died unnecessarily was definitely not justified.
The outro music was so perfect for the video. As the flu would defeat the body thus making the body go to a cytokine storm. In which, the outro song's name is Cytokine Storm
Philadelphia didn't stop the parade and everyone got sick. Now in Spain no one stopped the parades the 8 of May and now they are shutting down schools because the Coronavirus cases skyrocket. God, why do we never learn from history?
Authorities fail to take immediate action against anti-mandate protests making illegal occupations and let them drag on for weeks before stopping them, and now omicron is skyrocketing.
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.
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.
man this series gets more and more interesting I hesitate to admit it but this series might be the best one just cause the twist and turns this piece of history is taking is amazing
We need a medical history hall of fame with John Snow, Mother Seacole, and all these other heroes that have tried their hardest to fight humanity's most fearsome foe.
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.

Diseases would roll through towns and kill hundreds and this was going on right up to WW2 in the US. People with communicable sickness in their homes during these plague conditions would put display black flags at their door.
These carts were present in Athens during German occupation collecting those who starved to death.

ITS THE TELEVANGALIST! That actually happened at the start of the pandemic. Jesus Christ we never change
Well maybe they were just taken out of the shithole that we call the world today? Lol. I can just imagine...
Why don't leaders realize that ONLY TRANSPARENCY MAKES THE POPULACE TRUST THE LEADERS.
Because they fear that they will lose power by being transparent.
Because if they were truly transparent they populace would see hour corrupt and sketchy they are
Who cares? The people don't think they can do anything even if they compiled all the evidence of corruption.
Because there are people who spread misinformation this has potential to be much more devastation than the disease itself. Having a calm populace is important. Any panic and misinformation can make a "burning fire explode". Humans as individuals are unpredictable and as crowds are chaos.
You only need transparency for those you don't trust.

There are now new highths to scale.
Cythil no one is worse then our boi Frankie Pierce

It's crazy that 100 years later, with all the advances in medical science we still rely on the exact same approaches as they did in 1918
Many have pointed out already that history repeats itself. And the response is definitely chilling. But if nothing else, at least this reassures me that history will not look kindly on the people perpetuating and ignoring the disease.

That comment alongside that avatar made it look like Aku created the flu to mess with people.
So there’s an outbreak which spreads by public meeting so everyone decides to go to one place and pray together
HM 38 to pray they don't get sick.................
HM 38 G E N I U S
And 100 years later we still have people who don't believe in vaccines and think you can pray away sickness instead.
I don't know if God has a sense of irony, but I can't help but imagine Him thinking at that point, "You were saying, William?"

They didn’t teach us anything about this in school. American public education is a joke.
A lot of scenarios like this that are helped along by politics tend to be glossed over or simplifyed
What government wants to teach about how they suck?
they didn't in Germany either. At least on this topic America behaves like other countries

The government obviously don't want to teach you to not trust the government.

This is scary how this is too similar to what is happening currently with the COVID virus , 100 years later we havent learned :(
That song made me die inside
Ryan Tang You’re not the only one. I found that rhyme creepy.
BRING OUT YOUR DEAD.....BRING OUT YOUR DEAD....BRING OUT YOUR DEAD!
"Here you go."
"Nine pence."
I'm not dead yet, I feel fine.
ChaozN order you're not fooling anyone
Watched this just after watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
"I'm NoT dEaD" b o n k
People look at how terrible World War One was to the men in the trenches and how the leaders of these nations seemed to not care for their lives at all. But in the name of war so many leaders would risk the lives of thousands of civilians just to keep up productivity.
You could argue as to whether or not that won the war but the millions who died unnecessarily was definitely not justified.
0:40 these kind of easter eggs are really refreshing, I really love to see them.
“Wear mask, stay in quarantine” why does this sound a little familiar?
The influenza rhyme is gonna give me nightmares.
That jump rope rhyme was the freakiest thing I’ve ever heard on this chapter...
This is horrible
To think that a loved one could die and all that can be done is to put it on a bag and drop it in a cementery crushes my heart
9:24 A president who barely helped his own people......boy does that sound to familiar....
I sense a hint...
his name starts with a T and named after a card
"I had a little bird and his name was Enza"
"I openned up the window and In Flew Enza"
that took me over 5 minutes to get god help me
102 years later.... Nothing changed. Except we now have the internet.
The outro music was so perfect for the video. As the flu would defeat the body thus making the body go to a cytokine storm. In which, the outro song's name is Cytokine Storm
Philadelphia didn't stop the parade and everyone got sick.
Now in Spain no one stopped the parades the 8 of May and now they are shutting down schools because the Coronavirus cases skyrocket.
God, why do we never learn from history?
People are stupid
Authorities fail to take immediate action against anti-mandate protests making illegal occupations and let them drag on for weeks before stopping them, and now omicron is skyrocketing.
I VERY much appreciated the Twin Peaks reference at 5:42 😉
I've never seen folks so dramatic over a piece of FABRIC
I loved hearing about the good the church CAN do when they are not busy fighting to preserve themselves.
Church as of late has definitely not been in a good state. caught up in internal politics, and lashing out against Moral relativism
Church's organizations are usually very involved in all kinds of community service as well as disaster relief, both local and overseas too
You mean Public Image. Nothing wrong with self-preservation. You can't save anyone if you don't save yourself.
They should definitely make a movie about the Philadelphia outbreak.
Or about covid
Anyone else watching this during the covid-19 outbreak? I wasn’t concerned but now I’m terrified
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.
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 :)
@@farmerjoe124 Want to amend your statement now?
@@farmerjoe124 this ages well
man this series gets more and more interesting I hesitate to admit it but this series might be the best one just cause the twist and turns this piece of history is taking is amazing
We need a medical history hall of fame with John Snow, Mother Seacole, and all these other heroes that have tried their hardest to fight humanity's most fearsome foe.
