My understanding is that the Spanish Flu was thought to have originated in China...It was named "Spanish Flu" because the King of Spain at the time was one of the notable figures infected.crazy2medic wrote: ↑Tue Mar 31, 2020 11:17 am Spanish flu started in kansas!
I taught my son and daughter about the American Revolution and why it was fought! My daughter obviously told her teacher interesting points of the Revolution, this got me invited to her history class on the subject, my talk was over the Boston Tea party and into Lexington and Concord, I got permission from the Teacher and the school Principal to bring a Flintlock Rifle with me! I insisted they provide a me with a Permission/Authorization letter! It was a very interesting to be able to do that but it was around 2005 or so, that would NEVER happen today!
From CDC:
The 1918 influenza pandemic was the most severe pandemic in recent history. It was caused by an H1N1 virus with genes of avian origin. Although there is not universal consensus regarding where the virus originated, it spread worldwide during 1918-1919.
