This medical video documentary is structured to explain the United States 1918 flu pandemic (January 1918 – December 1920) and the treatment & recovery of those afflicted. It was an unusual influenza pandemic, the first of the two pandemics involving H1N1 influenza virus. It infected 500 million people across the world, including remote Pacific islands and the Arctic, and resulted in the loss of 50 to 100 million (three to five percent of the world's population), making it one of the worst in human history.

In 1918, a flu pandemic ripped through the global population with such speed and virulence that by the end of the following year an estimated 40 million people would be dead. Where did this particular flu strain come from, and what made it so deadly? 85 years later, virologists and epidemiologists the world over are still hunting down the answers to those two critical questions.

The Spanish influenza pandemic of 1918 was the most intense outbreak of disease in human history. It killed upwards of 50 million people (most in a six-week period) casting a long shadow of fear and mystery: nearly a century later, scientists have been unable to explain why, unlike all other influenza outbreaks, it killed young adults in huge numbers. I will describe how analyses of large numbers of influenza virus genomes are revealing the pathway traveled by the genes of this virus before it exploded in 1918. What emerges is a surprising tale with many players and plot lines, in which echoes of prior pandemics, imprinted in the immune responses of those alive in 1918, set the stage for the catastrophe. I will also discuss how resolving the mysteries of 1918 could help to prevent future pandemics and to control seasonal influenza, which quietly kills millions more every decade.

Influenza 1918 - premieres 10.15pm, Thursday September (Sky 534 & Virgin Media 243)
On November 11, 1918, the world breathed a collective sigh of relief as the guns fell silent. Little did anyone know that an even more deadly catastrophe was about to be unleashed, claiming over three times as many lives as the last four years of global warfare.
Robert Kenner’s documentary tells the story, from an American perspective, of the influenza epidemic that killed an estimated four percent of the world’s population. The outbreak of the disease in the US came in September 1918, when soldiers at an army base near Boston suddenly began to die. The cause of death was identified as influenza, but it was unlike any strain ever seen. As the killer virus spread across the country, spread by thousands of soldiers returning home from the battlefields, hospitals overfilled, death carts roamed the streets and helpless city officials dug mass graves. Researchers had developed vaccines for many bacterial diseases, but doctors were helpless to stop the influenza of 1918. October saw the epidemic’s full horror. In Philadelphia, the dead were left in gutters and stacked in caskets on the front porches. People hid indoors, afraid to interact with their friends and neighbours. Then, just as suddenly as it struck, the disease began to disappear after claiming over 600,000 American lives. The reasons for the epidemic’s abrupt end remain a mystery.

The 1918 Spanish Flu was a disaster that led to the forgotten fallen souls of millions of lives. At the time, there was no proper vaccine to deal with this virus replication.

What is it?
According to a documentary the Spanish Flu was the world's most deadly pandemic, spreading from 1918-1919. Over the course of two years, it infected and killed over 50 million people. This disease gets its name from the Spanish media, which was the first to announce the epidemic after 8 million Spanish people died.
Where is it located?
From Spain, the 1918 flu spread throughout Europe before making its way to the U.S. and Asia, eventually hitting all corners of the world. Its worldwide spread can be associated with the 96,000 Chinese workers who moved to Britain and France to work behind their lines of war while sealed in train-cars.
How it will kill you?
The Spanish Flu was highly contagious disaster. When an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks, respiratory droplets are generated and transmitted into the air, which can then be inhaled by anyone nearby. Symptoms of this virus are similar to those of seasonal influenza, which include fatigue, muscle and joint pain, fever, and headache. Severe issues and diseases to the respiratory system are the most common causes of death as they damage to the lungs, inflame the airways, and cause bleeding, swelling, and a destruction of the lungs' surface cell layers.
How to survive?
During the 1918 epidemic, doctors and scientists were unaware of what caused it, let alone how to treat it. Patients were told to follow seasonal influenza protocols such as drinking water and fruit juices every half hour, using hot blankets and short, hot baths to relieve the pain and fever, and dealing with rapid heart rates through the use of ice packs and cold compresses. Nowadays, there exist several effective vaccines and antiviral drugs to deal with this sickness.
Now what do you think is worse, and why? Inhaling asbestos? Or inhaling tobacco smoke?

1918 flu pandemic
The 1918 flu pandemic (January 1918 – December 1920) was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic, the first of the two pandemics involving H1N1 influenza virus. It infected 500 million people across the world, including remote Pacific islands and the Arctic, and resulted in the deaths of 50 to 100 million (three to five percent of the world's population), making it one of the deadliest natural disasters in human history.
Most influenza outbreaks disproportionately kill juvenile, elderly, or already weakened patients; in contrast, the 1918 pandemic predominantly killed previously healthy young adults. Modern research, using virus taken from the bodies of frozen victims, has concluded that the virus kills through a cytokine storm (overreaction of the body's immune system). The strong immune reactions of young adults ravaged the body, whereas the weaker immune systems of children and middle-aged adults resulted in fewer deaths among those groups.
Historical and epidemiological data are inadequate to identify the pandemic's geographic origin. It was implicated in the outbreak of encephalitis lethargica in the 1920s.

What is it?
According to a documentary the Spanish Flu was the world's most deadly pandemic, spreading from 1918-1919. Over the course of two years, it infected and killed over 50 million people. This disease gets its name from the Spanish media, which was the first to announce the epidemic after 8 million Spanish people died.
Where is it located?
From Spain, the 1918 flu spread throughout Europe before making its way to the U.S. and Asia, eventually hitting all corners of the world. Its worldwide spread can be associated with the 96,000 Chinese workers who moved to Britain and France to work behind their lines of war while sealed in train-cars.
How it will kill you?
The Spanish Flu was highly contagious disaster. When an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks, respiratory droplets are generated and transmitted into the air, which can then be inhaled by anyone nearby. Symptoms of this virus are similar to those of seasonal influenza, which include fatigue, muscle and joint pain, fever, and headache. Severe issues and diseases to the respiratory system are the most common causes of death as they damage to the lungs, inflame the airways, and cause bleeding, swelling, and a destruction of the lungs' surface cell layers.
How to survive?
During the 1918 epidemic, doctors and scientists were unaware of what caused it, let alone how to treat it. Patients were told to follow seasonal influenza protocols such as drinking water and fruit juices every half hour, using hot blankets and short, hot baths to relieve the pain and fever, and dealing with rapid heart rates through the use of ice packs and cold compresses. Nowadays, there exist several effective vaccines and antiviral drugs to deal with this sickness.
Now what do you think is worse, and why? Inhaling asbestos? Or inhaling tobacco smoke?

Y Andale
(Y sigue, y sigue, y sigue maguey, eso)
Que diran, los de tu casa cuándo me miren tomando
Pensaran que por tu causa yo me vi buen borrachando, y andale
Pero si vieras como son lindas estás borracheras, y andale
¿Pero hasta cuándo dejan tus padres de andarte cuidando? y andale
(Y andale chiquitita...y sigue, y sigue, y sigue maguey, eso)
Cada ves que vengo averte siempre me voy resvalando
Es que tengo mala suerte o es que me esta llovisnando, y andale
Pero si vieras como son lindas estás borracheras, y andale
Pero que te yas paso las noches vaciando botellas, y andale
Me dices que soy un necio porque me ando emborrachando
Y a pesar de tus desprecios yo quiero seguir tomando, y andale
Pero si vieras como son lindas estás borracheras, y andale
