Document Summary
Lecture 10 - test review and spanish influenza. Small pox, syphilis, tb, diphtheria, spanish influenza: in the book look at where these people had to stay not just focusing their disease isolation hospitals not wanted in the neighbourhood. New strain that hits @ end of wwi. Wave 2 is the worst, 3 almost as bad. All places in the world expect one island in the south atlantic got spanish flu. Hit the public fast, but did not stay around long enough to identify the virus (hit n run driver analogy) 1889-1890 small outbreak of this (pandemic as well), looking back this could have indicate what came in 1918. Gr pandemic, end of wwi breaks out in mid to late fall 1918, highly contagious, far more deadly. Could be healthy in the morning, by night you could be dead. Not their fault, already epidemic but reported for the 1st time in spain. Not part of the wwi, so media covered this.
