While there were occasional errors and omissions on records and some records may have been overlooked here, this list is designed to provide a sense of the impact of influenza and flu-related illnesses in Carter County over this four month period.

For this list we are including the following causes of death:]]> 2020-08-24 19:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jspiker10/ga41hllgbm3kkczd/wish/695771768 Influenza jspiker10 https://padlet.com/jspiker10/ga41hllgbm3kkczd/wish/695771770 Flu, Flue, Influenzy, Spanish flu, Spanish Influenza, etc.]]> 2020-08-24 19:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jspiker10/ga41hllgbm3kkczd/wish/695771770 Grip jspiker10 https://padlet.com/jspiker10/ga41hllgbm3kkczd/wish/695771772 Grip, gripe, grippe.
Occurred as a term for influenza.]]> 2020-08-24 19:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jspiker10/ga41hllgbm3kkczd/wish/695771772 Pneumonia jspiker10 https://padlet.com/jspiker10/ga41hllgbm3kkczd/wish/695771774 Pneumonia, broncho pneumonia, bronchial pneumonia.

We are including pneumonia deaths because during this time period pneumonia was often related to influenza, and it was occasionally left off of the cause of death report or misidentified.]]> 2020-08-24 19:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jspiker10/ga41hllgbm3kkczd/wish/695771774 Diarrhea jspiker10 https://padlet.com/jspiker10/ga41hllgbm3kkczd/wish/695771776 Diarrhea was occasionally listed as a cause of death alongside influenza, but there were a couple of instances where it is listed as the sole cause of death. Like pneumonia, diarrhea as a cause of death in this time period was often linked to influenza. While it is possible that diarrhea could be linked to numerous other diseases, in the instances that it is listed as the sole cause of death it is included in this list as a possible result of influenza.]]> 2020-08-24 19:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jspiker10/ga41hllgbm3kkczd/wish/695771776 Flu-related illnesses jspiker10 https://padlet.com/jspiker10/ga41hllgbm3kkczd/wish/695771778 Normally listed as flu with another illness, or an illness listed as resulting from the flu.]]> 2020-08-24 19:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jspiker10/ga41hllgbm3kkczd/wish/695771778 Other illnesses not included on their own jspiker10 https://padlet.com/jspiker10/ga41hllgbm3kkczd/wish/695771779 For this list we are not including other causes of death that may have been related to the flu unless influenza is directly identified with it. This gives the list specific characteristics while not over speculating. Tuberculosis is an example of a disease that is occasionally listed alongside influenza but it is only included here when specifically mentioned as a flu-related disease.  ]]> 2020-08-24 19:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jspiker10/ga41hllgbm3kkczd/wish/695771779 Errors? jspiker10 https://padlet.com/jspiker10/ga41hllgbm3kkczd/wish/695771781 Things to consider: Some influenza deaths may have been misidentified or overlooked at the time, some death records with flu recorded may have been overlooked in the original deed research and left off of this list, and some of the non-flu deaths (pneumonia, diarrhea) on this list might not have been flu-related. ]]> 2020-08-24 19:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jspiker10/ga41hllgbm3kkczd/wish/695771781
