1918 flu, healthy people in the prime of life could wake up feeling well in the morning, and be dead by midnight.
Far as we know, coronavirus is different.
So is medical science.
“1918 flu, healthy people in the prime of life could wake up feeling well in the morning, and be dead by midnight.”
Ctyokine storm. The stronger your immune system, the more likely that you would drown in your own antibodies.
That’s what makes hybrid flus far more dangerous than normal human flu which mostly kills those with weak immune systems, usually by secondary pneumonia.
Hybrid flus are animal/human crosses. Bird flu, swine flu. 1918 was a swine flu. It’s the animal component that seems to make immune systems go berserk.
There certainly is a lot of garbage posted on the subject.
Comparing this with the epidemic of 1918 is an example of faulty logic.
There was no flu vaccine in 1918. It was first available in 1938, twenty years later.
Today probably 90% of the population has been vaccinated.
Within a few months, the vaccine will be available for the COVD-19 virus and that will greatly reduce the fatality rate.
Until 90% or so of the population is vaccinated, comparing the death rate with the flue deaths of recent years is useless.
