In those days, when people
CARED, illegal immigrants with incurable
diseases were NOT sent to every state
by Islamo-Obama-quartering using buses in secret
by the ++-installed pRes_ _ent and his political
foreign-run Agencies to bring back diseases
cured for 40 years or more before - and some
new ones, too.

Here in Hawaii, whole villages died. I talked to one person who remembers coming back to Hawaii after WWI (he was a merchant seaman), and he found that whole areas where he remembered communities were just abandoned. That’s why today you can find ruins of abandoned churches out in the middle of nowhere.

A woman who does a blog on Long Beach, Cal history has a news article about the end of the war and the flu. Long Beach City flew a Gold Star Flag with the number 50 on it, to commemorate the city’s war dead. I think Something like 57 died in LB in November, 1918 alone.

Mortality rate was about 2 1/2 % for those infected

Ironically the disease killed mostly the young and healthy
by triggering a violent immune response which damaged the
lung causing them to fill with blood and fluids

Estimated 670,000 died in US from the Flu or Pneumonia
resulting from it

Current nasty flu making rounds is H3N@ (called Hong Kong flu from 1968 pandemic)

One of the best reads on this is John Barry's The Great Influenza. It's a gripping tale and the story of the rise of the modern medicine in coping with the greatest pandemic since the "Black Death" of the middle ages. Highly recommended.

My paternal great grandmother became sick with the flu on October 4th and passed on October 9, 1918. The newspaper article said that local medical help was summoned but unable to overcome the illness.

My father was born in Newark, NJ in 1920. With records I found through genealogy research I was able to prove to him that he had a sister who was born and died before my father was born. He never knew about this sister and we speculated that she had died during this epidemic.

Our Grandfather’s first wife and two children, IIRC, died during this pandemic. Near Love Field, Dallas.

I was a history major throughout college and went back for a Master’s later. The Great Flu epidemic was not covered as I recall.
