1918 Spanish Flu

In the United States alone, 675,000 people died in the year 1918 alone from the so-called Spanish Flu. 

Researchers today argue that the Spanish Flu was actually bird flu.

As America prepared for war, a soldier at an Army fort in Kansas reported to the base hospital with flu-like symptoms.

There, he was diagnosed as having a strain of flu that was called Spanish Influenza (since it was erroneously believed the strain had originated in Spain).

Pandemic The 1918 strain of flu created not just

an epidemic -- but a global pandemic causing 25,000,000 deaths.

History of Spanish Flu in GA

October 1 Augusta's Camp Hancock experienced an outbreak of the Spanish influenza then sweeping the nation.

On the previous day only two soldiers had been in the infirmary. On this day, 716 showed up with flu-like symptoms--and it would get worse.

At Camp Gordon near Atlanta, the second day of the outbreak finds 138 soldiers with the deadly flu, ten of whom had already died of pneumonia.

October 5 Four days after the initial breakout of two cases of Spanish influenza, Augusta's Camp Hancock reported 3000 cases of flu.

Already, 52 soldiers had died of the disease. Furthermore, the epidemic had now spread off base with 47 cases reported in the Augusta area.

This ban included schools, libraries, churches, and theaters.

Street cars were directed to keep all windows open -- except in rain.

Today, this would include shopping malls, public transportation, and centers of entertainment.

Georgia announced it was indefinitely suspending classes.

Back in Augusta, where the epidemic was most active, military officials on this day ordered soldiers to sleep under the stars, and by now everyone was wearing gauze masks during the day.

No one was allowed on base except close relatives, and soldiers were restricted from going to Atlanta without a special pass.

October 10 Atlanta remained relatively healthy as only 105 new cases of Spanish influenza were reported, with only eight deaths in the past week. These numbers were far fewer than those in other East Coast cities of similar size.

A new preventative measure also appeared on the streets of Macon -- "flu masks", which basically were cloth masks with small eye, nose, and mouth holes.

With "only" 750 deaths, Atlanta would get off lightly from a worldwide epidemic that would kill 675,000 Americans--more deaths than resulted from World Wars I and II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War combined.

Globally, 40 million people died in just 18 months.
