The Spanish Flu: A History from Beginning to End By Hourly History
Book Excerpt :
The 1918 outbreak of the H1N1 strain of influenza, popularly known as the Spanish flu, killed more people worldwide than World War I, which ended the same year. It infected nearly one-third of the world?s population and killed ten percent of those it struck. In its wake, schools and businesses closed, hospitals became overwhelmed, and the sick spilled out into makeshift care centers in public spaces. Policemen, public transportation workers, and everyday citizens in face masks were a common?and eerie?sight. Yet, discussion of this global pandemic often takes a backseat to World War I and other contemporary events.
