In 1918, a devastating world-wide influenza epidemic hit the United States. Killing over 600,000 Americans and causing the national death rate to jump 30% in a single year, the outbreak obstructed the country's participation in World War I and imposed terrible challenges on communities across the United States.
This epidemic provides an ideal lens for understanding the history of infectious disease in the United States. The Flu Epidemic of 1918 examines the impact of the outbreak on health, medicine, government, and individual people's lives, and also explores the puzzle of Americans' decades-long silence about the experience once it was over. In a concise narrative bolstered by primary sources including newspaper articles, eye-witness accounts, and government reports, Sandra Opdycke provides undergraduates with an unforgettable introduction to the 1918 epidemic and its after-effects.
Critical Moments in American History is a series of short texts designed to familiarize students with events or issues critical to the American experience. Through the use of narrative and primary documents, these books help instructors deconstruct an important moment in American history with the help of timelines, glossaries, textboxes, and a robust companion website.
From January 1918 to December 1920, a Spanish pandemic killed about 50.000.000 people worldwide. The Flu killed over half a million people in the United States. Montana has lost about five thousand people to one of the highest mortality rates in the country. During World War I, Spain was neutral and did not censor information. The first cases of the Spanish bombing occurred in military camps and cities in the Midwest and quickly spread to the rest of the country.
One of the main differences between the 2020's pandemic and Spanish Influenza is that the virus is primarily aimed at older men and those with weak immune systems, but the Spanish Flu targeted healthy-looking men.
This Book Covers:
What is the Spanish Flu?
History of the Spanish Influenza
Signs, Symptoms, Pathogenesis, and Complications
What Actions Were Taken Globally in Search of a Cure
1918 Pandemic Wave
What we have learned from Spanish Influenza and how we can defeat the 2020's pandemics
Q&A with the main questions and doubts on the Spanish pandemic with references to the current pandemic... and so much more
The fear in 2020 is that the infection will dominate the American medical system. It was the case in 1918 when insufficient to treat a large number of patients admitted to minimal health care facilities. There no significant hospitals that we know. We then need to take a closer look at the Spanish epidemic of 1918 and record today's virus epidemic.
Why was the Spanish Flu known as the Spanish Flu? What caused the Spanish Flu? Where did the Spanish Flu come from? Why was it known as the 'Spanish Flu?'
The Spanish Flu did not originate in Spain, although news insurance of it did. At some point of global warfare, Spain was an impartial united state with an unfastened media that covered the outbreak from the start, first reporting on it in Madrid in late 1918. In the meantime, Allied countries and the crucial Powers had wartime censors who protected up information of the flu to hold morale excessive. Because Spanish information resources were the most effective ones reporting at the flu, many believed it originated there (the Spanish, in the meantime, believed the virus came from France and called it the "French Flu.")
Scientists up to this day, do not understand in which country did the Spanish Flu really originated, though theories factor to France, China, Britain, or the USA, where the first acknowledged case turned into pronounced at Camp Funston in citadel Riley, Kansas, on March 11, 1918.
a few believe infected infantrymen unfold the sickness to other navy camps throughout the United States of America, then delivered it to distant places. In March 1918, 84,000 American infantrymen headed across the Atlantic and had been accompanied with the aid of 118,000 more the following month.

It's unknown precisely where the unique stress of influenza that induced the pandemic came from; however, the 1918 flu was first found in Europe, the USA and regions of Asia earlier than spreading to nearly each different part of the planet within a number of months.
One uncommon issue of the 1918 flu was that it hit many beforehand healthy, younger people-a set usually proofed against this kind of infectious illness or virus.
despite the fact that the death toll attributed to the Spanish flu is frequently estimated at 20 million to 50 million victims internationally, different estimates run as high as a hundred million victims-around 3 percentage of the world's populace. the exact numbers are impossible to know due to a lack of medical report-preserving in many places.
via the summer time of 1919, the flu pandemic came to a cease, as those that were inflamed both died and developed immunity.
nearly 90 years later, in 2008, researchers introduced they'd determined what made the 1918 flu so lethal: a group of 3 genes enabled the virus to weaken a sufferer's bronchial tubes and lungs and clear the manner for bacterial pneumonia.
All of these present-day pandemics takes renewed interest in to the Spanish Flu, or "forgotten pandemic," so-named due to the fact its spread changed and overshadowed by the deadliness of WWI and contained within by using news blackouts and poor document-maintaining.

Описание: Over the last decade, infectious disease outbreaks have heightened fears of a catastrophic pandemic passing from animals to humans. From Ebola and bird flu to swine flu and MERS, zoonotic viruses are killing animals and wreaking havoc on the people living near them. Given this clear correlation between animals and viral infection, why are animals largely invisible in social science accounts of pandemics, and why do they remain marginal in critiques of global public health? In Viral Economies, Natalie Porter draws from long-term research on bird flu in Vietnam to chart the pathways of scientists, NGO workers, state veterinarians, and poultry farmers as they define and address pandemic risks. Porter argues that as global health programs expand their purview to include life and livestock, they weigh the interests of public health against those of commercial agriculture, rural tradition, and scientific innovation. Porter challenges human-centered analyses of pandemics and shows how dynamic and often dangerous human-animal relations take on global significance as poultry and their pathogens travel through global livestock economies and transnational health networks. Viral Economies urges readers to think critically about the ideas, relationships, and practices that produce our everyday commodities, and that shape how we determine the value of life--both human and nonhuman.

Описание: Many New Zealand families were affected by the 1918 influenza pandemic. In the space of about six weeks, over 6400 Pakeha died and an estimated 2500 Maori. That equals nearly half the total of New Zealand soldiers killed in the First World War. Yet these were civilians, dying in the first month of peace. This was New Zealand's worst-ever public health disaster. This book shows how we coped back in 1918 – the response of public health officials, how the sick were nursed, how thousands of convalescents were fed and the lessons learned that may still be useful today.

This book addresses the signs/symptoms, epidemiology, preventive methods and treatment options for swine flu.
