Finally to show how this pandemic is similar to another watch this film on similar events that occurred in 1918
- it will all then make sense.
We Heard the Bells: The Influenza of 1918
"
As many tens of thousands are perishing each year from the flu, and the new Coronavirus has emerged in regions around the world, here's a film that looks back on one of the most tragic of all of history's pandemics. We Heard the Bells: The Influenza of 1918 recalls the outbreak that swept the planet and eventually killed over 50 million people.
The most unique and haunting aspect of the film are the interviews with the survivors of the outbreak. These are the children of the tragedy, many of whom were made orphans during the height of its spread. They speak of the ill effects suffered by the stricken, including the high fever, complete loss of energy and occasional episodes of delirium. The bodies were piling up so quickly that many did not receive proper burials. Entire families were wiped out.
The influenza of 1918 was not like the strains of the flu we see today. Traditional seasonal flu is especially hazardous to the very young, elderly and the chronically diseased. The fatalities that resulted from the 1918 scourge did not discriminate based upon age. Younger men and women were considered high risk.
How did this virus become so virulent and claim so many lives across the age and gender spectrum?................."
In this film you will see that current government actions to stop as much social
interaction as possible are justified and reasonable - until a vaccine or effective
anti-viral drug can be developed.
- it will all then make sense.
