About 1/3 of the worlds population were infected, and an estimated 20 - 50 million people were killed. During this time antibiotics and medicines were not created to cure the flu yet, so you either developed an immunity for the flu or died in the process. The flu is highly contagious and is spread through person-to-person contact or by contact with something with the virus on it.It was discovered in 2008 that three genes enabled the virus to weaken a victim's bronchial tubes and lungs and clear the way for bacterial pneumonia. ]]> 2018-04-12 15:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/rmartin427/hs9w9d3yznhd/wish/251222804 rmartin427 https://padlet.com/rmartin427/hs9w9d3yznhd/wish/251600917 This is a video that summarizes the 1918 Flu Pandemic]]> 2018-04-13 15:19:44 UTC https://padlet.com/rmartin427/hs9w9d3yznhd/wish/251600917 rmartin427 https://padlet.com/rmartin427/hs9w9d3yznhd/wish/251602753 This shows a facility that was turned into a hospital]]> 2018-04-13 15:23:26 UTC https://padlet.com/rmartin427/hs9w9d3yznhd/wish/251602753 rmartin427 https://padlet.com/rmartin427/hs9w9d3yznhd/wish/251604320 My thoughts on this is that I think it is very crazy and surreal. This pandemic had more casualties than WWI. How often do outbreaks like this occur? Nowadays most casualties come from war or attacks, but how often do new diseases start infecting people and taking lives? I'm grateful that something this horrible hasn't occurred in a long time, but how long until it happens again?]]> 2018-04-13 15:26:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rmartin427/hs9w9d3yznhd/wish/251604320 rmartin427 https://padlet.com/rmartin427/hs9w9d3yznhd/wish/251607219 This is a text source about the 1918 Flu Pandemic]]> 2018-04-13 15:32:15 UTC https://padlet.com/rmartin427/hs9w9d3yznhd/wish/251607219
