The 1918 Pandemic: Spanish Influenza flu

The Spanish flu (also known as the 1918 flu pandemic  was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic.Lasting from January 1918 to December 1920, it infected 500 million people—about a quarter of the world's population at the time.The death toll is estimated to have been anywhere from 17 million to 50 million, and possibly as high as 100 million.

Most influenza outbreaks disproportionately kill the very young and the very old, with a higher survival rate for those in between, but the Spanish flu pandemic resulted in a higher than expected mortality rate for young adults. Scientists offer several possible explanations for the high mortality rate of the 1918 influenza pandemic. which ravages the stronger immune system of young adults. Instead, malnourishment, overcrowded medical camps and hospitals, and poor hygiene promoted bacterial nfection. This superinfection killed most of the victims, typically after a somewhat prolonged death bed.

The Spanish flu was the first of two pandemics caused by the H1N1 influenza virus; the second was the swine flu in 2009.^[16]he Spanish flu (also known as the 1918 flu pandemic^[2]) was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic. Lasting from January 1918 to December 1920, it infected 500 million people—about a quarter of the world's population at the time.^[1] The death toll is estimated to have been anywhere from 17 million^[3] to 50 million, and possibly as high as 100 million, making it one of the deadliest pandemics in human history.^[4][5]

To maintain morale, World War I censors minimized early reports of illness and mortality in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and the United States.^{[6][failed verification]} Newspapers were free to report the epidemic's effects in neutral Spain, such as the grave illness of King Alfonso XIII, and these stories created a false impression of Spain as especially hard hit.^[7] This gave rise to the pandemic's nickname, "Spanish flu".^[8][9] Historical and epidemiological data are inadequate to identify with certainty the pandemic's geographic origin, with varying views as to the origin.^[1]

Some analyses have shown the virus to be particularly deadly because it triggers a cytokine storm, which ravages the stronger immune system of young adults.^[11] In contrast, a 2007 analysis of medical journals from the period of the pandemic^[12][13] found that the viral infection was no more aggressive than previous influenza strains. Instead, malnourishment, overcrowded medical camps and hospitals, and poor hygiene promoted bacterial superinfection.

Exactly 100 years after,Coronavirus strikes.Now how was the 1918 pandemic contained? Can we borrow solutions from then?
