Unlike other influenza epidemics that mainly affect children and the elderly, its victims were also young and healthy adults, as well as animals, including dogs and cats.

Symptoms included high fever, earache, body fatigue, occasional diarrhea and vomiting, and also sometimes breathing difficulties and nosebleeds.]]> 2022-08-06 06:08:54 UTC https://padlet.com/monterovielka70/v9zge5dmgzjys8r1/wish/2255792135 How it originated - its spread and how far it spread https://padlet.com/monterovielka70/v9zge5dmgzjys8r1/wish/2256048307 Despite its name, researchers believe that the Spanish flu originated in the USA.
Of the first was on March 11, 1918, at the Fort Riley military base, Kansas, there were quickly 522 cases. They then report outbreaks in Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and California. In May, soldiers at Fort Riley incubated the virus during their trip to France. 
Upon stepping on the French beaches, the virus exploded and strongly attacked the allied troops and those of the Central Command. It spread through Norway, China, India, New Zealand, the Caribbean, the Philippines, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, as soon as it touched the Panama Canal zone, it reached the whole world.]]> 2022-08-07 05:44:57 UTC https://padlet.com/monterovielka70/v9zge5dmgzjys8r1/wish/2256048307 Mortality rate https://padlet.com/monterovielka70/v9zge5dmgzjys8r1/wish/2256227000 The mortality rate of the 1918-1920 pandemic is unknown. Authors such as Juan Carlos Losada (2012) estimate that the fatality rate, that is, the percentage of infected people who died from the flu, was between 10% and 20%. Its morbidity rate could reach up to half of the world population, but other sources raise it to two thirds, this specific mortality rate means that between 3% and 6% of the world population died, but it varies a lot with the populations, because indigenous peoples of the Pacific or the Arctic lost up to 90% of their population. ]]> 2022-08-07 20:52:39 UTC https://padlet.com/monterovielka70/v9zge5dmgzjys8r1/wish/2256227000 The great flu epidemic of 1918 monterovielka70 https://padlet.com/monterovielka70/v9zge5dmgzjys8r1/wish/2256245652 2022-08-07 22:33:50 UTC https://padlet.com/monterovielka70/v9zge5dmgzjys8r1/wish/2256245652 Mortality per week in Paris, Berlin, London and New York. monterovielka70 https://padlet.com/monterovielka70/v9zge5dmgzjys8r1/wish/2256247558 2022-08-07 22:44:11 UTC https://padlet.com/monterovielka70/v9zge5dmgzjys8r1/wish/2256247558 Mortality by age of the normal influenza epidemics of 1911 to 1917, dashed line, and of the 1918 epidemic, solid line. monterovielka70 https://padlet.com/monterovielka70/v9zge5dmgzjys8r1/wish/2256247891 2022-08-07 22:45:32 UTC https://padlet.com/monterovielka70/v9zge5dmgzjys8r1/wish/2256247891 Oakland's municipal auditorium converted into a makeshift hospital in 1918. monterovielka70 https://padlet.com/monterovielka70/v9zge5dmgzjys8r1/wish/2256248083 2022-08-07 22:46:24 UTC https://padlet.com/monterovielka70/v9zge5dmgzjys8r1/wish/2256248083 Maps of respiratory overmortality rates per 10 000 inhabitants in each province of Spain in 1918-1919. monterovielka70 https://padlet.com/monterovielka70/v9zge5dmgzjys8r1/wish/2256248506 2022-08-07 22:48:15 UTC https://padlet.com/monterovielka70/v9zge5dmgzjys8r1/wish/2256248506 Electron microscopic image of the 1918 virus. monterovielka70 https://padlet.com/monterovielka70/v9zge5dmgzjys8r1/wish/2256248870 2022-08-07 22:50:14 UTC https://padlet.com/monterovielka70/v9zge5dmgzjys8r1/wish/2256248870 1918 Pandemic monterovielka70 https://padlet.com/monterovielka70/v9zge5dmgzjys8r1/wish/2256252493 2022-08-07 23:07:02 UTC https://padlet.com/monterovielka70/v9zge5dmgzjys8r1/wish/2256252493 What was the 2020-2021 flu season like? https://padlet.com/monterovielka70/v9zge5dmgzjys8r1/wish/2257058164 Influenza activity was unusually low throughout the 2020-2021 season, both in the United States and worldwide, despite high levels of testing. During the period September 28, 2020, through May 22, 2021, in the United States, 1,675 respiratory specimens out of 818,939 (0.2%) tested by clinical laboratories in the United States were positive for the virus of the flu. The low level of influenza activity this past season contributed to substantially lower influenza cases, hospitalizations, and deaths compared to previous influenza seasons. For comparison purposes, during the last three seasons prior to the pandemic, the proportion of respiratory specimens testing positive for influenza peaked between 26.2% and 30.3%.]]> 2022-08-09 01:22:12 UTC https://padlet.com/monterovielka70/v9zge5dmgzjys8r1/wish/2257058164 Treatment https://padlet.com/monterovielka70/v9zge5dmgzjys8r1/wish/2257183286 Generally only trips to rest and drink plenty of fluids to treat the complaint. But if you have a serious infection or are at increased risk for complications, your doctor may prescribe an antiviral medication to treat the flu. These medications may include oseltamivir (Tamiflu), zanamivir (Relenza), peramivir (Rapivab), or baloxavir (Xofluza). These medications can cut the disease for about a day and help prevent serious complications.

Oseltamivir is an oral medication. Zanamivir is inhaled through a device similar to an asthma inhaler and should not be used by anyone who has certain chronic breathing problems, such as asthma and lung disease.

Side effects of antiviral medications can include nausea and vomiting. These side effects may be milder if the medicine is taken with food.]]> 2022-08-09 05:12:10 UTC https://padlet.com/monterovielka70/v9zge5dmgzjys8r1/wish/2257183286 Speech monterovielka70 https://padlet.com/monterovielka70/v9zge5dmgzjys8r1/wish/2259318127 2022-08-11 19:39:41 UTC https://padlet.com/monterovielka70/v9zge5dmgzjys8r1/wish/2259318127
