Pandemic 1918 by Catherine Arnold, 2018

Eyewitness Accounts from the Greatest Medical Holocaust in Modern History
In January 1918, as World War I raged on, a new and terrifying virus began to spread across the globe. In three successive waves, from 1918 to 1919, influenza killed more than 50 million people world-wide.





German soldiers termed it Blitzkatarrh, British soldiers referred to it as Flanders Grippe, but world-wide, the pandemic gained the notorious title of "Spanish Flu."
Nowhere on earth escaped: the United States recorded 550,000 deaths (five times its total military fatalities in the war) while European deaths totaled over two million. 
Amid the war, some governments suppressed news of the outbreak. Even as entire battalions were decimated, with both the Allies and the Germans suffering massive casualties, the details of many servicemen's deaths were hidden to protect public morale.

The Spanish flu (so-named because the Spanish press openly reported on the outbreak while other World War I belligerents suppressed the news) broke out in March 1918 at Camp Funston, an army camp in Kansas, and struck young, healthy adults with greater ferocity than any other demographic group. #History #1918FluPandemic #FirstWorldWar #Flu #Influenza #MedicalHistory #Medicine #Pandemic #SpanishFlu #HistoryFact whe.to/ci/1-25348-en/

In April 2020, I learned one of my great-grandfathers - like many millions around the world - was a mortal victim of the #SpanishFlu.

If you’re reading this, you, too, are a survivor.

On this day, March 11, 1918, Spanish Flu was diagnosed in Queens, New York, one week after it was first recorded on a military base in Kansas. It infected 500 million people around the world, about 27% of the world’s population (Spanish Flu: The Forgotten Fallen, 2009)

Just before your post about anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., I read an item by a highly conservative turn of the Twentieth Century political economist, W.G. Langworthy Taylor. He wrote of the benefits to everyone else of “the dying out of those too weak-willed or stupid to adopt the practical measures of precaution so lavishly offered and taught by science.” Polio and the deadly "Spanish flu" epidemic were among the great scares of his day.

I read John M Berry's book The Great Influenza back when it was published in the 2004. It has a decidedly American viewpoint, but still. I hope it's on the reading list for leaders everywhere. #BirdFlu #SpanishFlu #Influenza #H5N1

"...nämlich das post-virale chronische Erschöpfungssyndrom. Überlebende waren oft Wochen von starker Müdigkeit und chronischer Erschöpfung gezeichnet, und es gab auch häufig Depressionen als Folgeerscheinung einer Grippeerkrankung."

Our third poster specifically links the dangers of the epidemic to the war. It is again from 1918 and is unattributed, although it is thought to have been done by the US Public Health Service.

Our second influenza poster was done by "Hanlon" for the United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation in 1918.

I'm planning to investigate public health posters for the next few weeks, starting with the major influenza epidemic at the end of the First World War beginning with this 1918 poster by the Rensselaer County Tuberculosis Association.
