The total population of the U.S. was approximately 103 million in 1918. 675,000 deaths equaled 0.66% of the entire population. It was great enough to cause the average life expectancy in the U.S. to drop by 12 years.
The population of the U.S. today is over 330 million. The equivalent number of deaths would be over 2.1 million.
Do as you are told and don”t think for yourselves!
Government policy may have been responsible for a lot of he Spanish Flu deaths in the U.S. A recent study has indicated that government mandated or encouraged mask wearing during the Spanish Flu as well as staying indoors concentrated the virus and is probably responsible for more than 50% of the U.S. deaths.
