History Of The 1918 Flu Pandemic In 7 Minutes

oh the irony

When the video says that extreme measures are what saved 30-50% of the population but people STILL think we’re over reacting

Seriously, I'm watching this yelling at the screen "HAVE THEY LEARNED *NOTHING* ????" and apparently, no, nobody has, cause it was still taken lightly and "can't stop the economy for a little flu" FFS I don't wanna live on this planet anymore.

FunFacts Philippine government was late in banning the flights from China. And now, cases here are increasing. *WE ARE POOR SO WE ARE DOOMED*

And to this I say" victors of history write the books" so to those who do not deeply dive into it, this means what is told may not be true history...

* biggest reason for the high mortality rate : people were too dump to follow instructions *

Showing all the toilet paper madness

And yet here we are... still haven’t learned anything from the past...

“Misinformation spread via right wing media, televangelists, and even the President.”

@@ricardobjj24 the great toilet paper rush of 2020

Fita Artic Bear, that's the excuse that I should use.

What kind of homework? I love history.

yeah and i’m studying biology by watching porn

@@Peg__ It was extra credit to compare pandemics🙂

History class.they can't say I'm wasting my time watching videos

Happens very rarely lol

*realizes it's not Ryan and Shane*

乁[ᓀ˵▾˵ᓂ]ㄏ

@Billy Grahammer your tinfoil hat is too tight.

Yeah but it's still weird to expect Ryan and Shane and out comes a feminine voice😂

@@maliaowings8948 actually if you've been a follower on this channel for a long time you might know that the videos where ryan and shane are not shown in the video miniature are about other thing rather than unsolved. Also the boys often take a break after each season so they wont be in the videos uploded in this channel until further notice

Ryan and Shane have their own channel now actually they started a new company together and left buzzfeed, look up “Watcher” on KRplus ALL HAIL THE WATCHER!

abby trash I mean technically the 1918 flu is still unsolved z

@@3ntity6666 exactly!! Pls subscribe to watcher they make ameazing content and they upload every week, its awezome!!

Well let the idiots and the one responsible in raising those idiots to suffer, i call it evolution. Time to weed out the retards.

The major difference between the two is that Covid is unlikely to seriously affect younger, healthier people. We also have better sanitation, diets, medicine. Every pandemic that happens, statistically drops in death each time.

@@mokitaism That's not a reason for people to ignore the most effective tool we currently have to combat this, staying at home and avoiding any unnecessary contact with others. Right now we have people protesting, shoulder to shoulder in some places, not realizing that when the next wave hits there area because they are just giving this virus what it needs to spread and, they are just putting themselves right back at square one when it comes to locking down for everyone's safety.

mokitaism That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t quarantine. We may have advanced, but we are in the same boat.

@@Benson_aka_devils_advocate_88 So many government mouthpieces on here. All COMPLETE lies. The "Spanish flu" was caused by vaccines, started at a military base and then forced on Phillipines. It resurfaced at another military base in the 70s after more mandatory vaccines. Look it up "spanish flu +vaccines"

Me

Yeah same, ngl kinda dissapointed

Me

Im sad now :(

They said that in Philly that Whiskey is the cure and Alcohol prices sky rocketed

i mean, it would help with symptoms, anyway

Don’t tell a Latina mom that! Vaporú cures all in their book 😂

thats honestly every filipino mom ever😂

@@angels5010 gotta rub it on your chest, by your throat, and don't forget, it really helps rubbing it on the bottom of your feet lmao.

Vaporu!

School nurses: DiD yoU TRy iCE?

I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS AHA

😂😂😂😂

Ready? Go.

Corona is nothing like this lol

@@afriendorfoe yeah .nothin like this.are you dense or american?

@@sniffles8672 let me guess youre someone who overstocked on toliet paper. 1.8 billion vs 7.8 billion....500 million vs 170,000, 2.7% vs 0.019%. I'm sorry to tell you but Spanish flu was worse. Plus we had a pandemic of the spanish flu in 2009. Statistically, biologically, and economically speaking Corona is nothing like the Spanish flu just seems like it to you bc u are panicking and don't know how to handle your anxiety. Btw get this, 148,368 have died from the seasonal flu this year.

@@sniffles8672 512,710 have died from Aids. 411,708 have died from road traffic. 327,059 died from suicide. 2,504,909 deaths by cancer. 299,168 deaths by malaria. So no corona is not like the Spanish Flu bc the Spanish flu was almost 5x worse without the medical and technology that we have today. Use common sense, practice good hygiene, and stay home if you have a compromised immune system.

It's similar to if you had, say, an ant problem in your house. Trying to pretend nothing's wrong will lead to finding ants all the time, using protective measures make it better, only finding ants here and there. BUT if you think, well oh, I've only seen two ants today I'm going to go back to normal, and start leaving food around the house as if it's not a problem anymore will just put you back at square one!!! You could've waited just a couple more days for it to be completely GONE and you wouldn't have to deal with a hundred ants in your cereal again. Absolutely ridiculous.

some people seem to be hard learners, they have to suffer something themselves to understand, and fail to heed warnings.

same

You most likely did but it was a footnote. It's in our school curriculum but it's only something they briefly go over.

@@BazookaTooth707 yeah ur probably right

@@crystalangelina3795
I know that's what they did for my school. Although, your point still stands. They should really go over this in greater depth. This was an extremely important part of history and it happened only a hundred years ago.

Right... Like you were paying attention at all. I've always known about the Spanish flu. People blame education and completely leave out the fact that if you want to learn... You will... You have unlimited resources. Lol

You again

@@Dkshddh Yeah it's me again

then just stay in the cave buddy

i wanna come live with you guys, you seem chill

That'd be depressing honestly.

Chloe Romero that would be devastating.

My dad knew a fellow soldier who was always super safe and prepared, even wore extra Kevlar and would sit on an extra helmet. Came home and died from a heart attack months after returning.

Just goes to show how vulnerable we all really are.

@@celticlass8573 you said certain people as if implying it's not many

Yup.

Remy Bartels Not quite. www.snopes.com/fact-check/plague-repeat-century/

Remy Bartels What's True
Pandemics of some type were extant during all four of the years referenced in the meme.
What's False
However, the meme cherry-picks a small amount of data and isn't particularly useful in any predictive sense.

Remy Bartels Epidemics in those years, but not all were pandemics. 1620, 1720 and 1820 were not pandemics.

Did u mean every 300-400 years?

My grandfather was born in 1925 and died in 2017. Missed both. That lucky bastard.

It actually started in Kansas but Kansas Flu didn't catch on

Dude! You're so right though?? Like my Mexican grandma makes me smear Vicks on the soles of my feet and my back every time I'm sick and I'm not even sure why 😂😂

This has nothing to do with the comment or video b u t where did you find your pfp 😳

@@vannah12222 we put it on everything right?

It's an american channel, hard to expect anything different from the americans lol

Theyre just a bunch of narcissists who like to remain ignorant about real world matters. Thats why they always repeat historical mistakes

Ilhan Sevgi well America WAS the one that had the most severe cases lol. other places in the world weren’t as affected as America was

Agree. I know this is an American channel, but the title is still misleading. I expected a worldwide history of the flu, not only on the United states.

It’s also a 7 minute video, let’s just cram every country and how they handled it.

Hopefully like the roaring 20s

I get jealous of my phone when it dies 2008 but we are in the Great Depression of the 21st century, so far...

Likely to put into perspective for all these people calling covid19 a hoax. Shame you can't reason with them because they're all rabid and insane and will kill us all with their stupidity

@@ashleyjohnson9651 i know right! so frustrating

@@ashleyjohnson9651 They should at the very least be charged with manslaughter, if someone dies and it's linked to them not doing what they're supposed to.

Jada Roberson no need to wear gloves just sanitize and wash hands constantly! Plastic gloves start to break down from the sweat on your hands after a while making them pretty much useless when your out for long periods of time.

@@emilym155 Unless you are out for 12 hours with the sweatiest hands ever they wont break down on a wee pop to the shops.

SuperKarinaG we use plastic gloves as a barrier and wash our hands directly after we remove them, never trust they will completely protect you.

@@emilym155 I am a carer. I use gloves countless times a day I am aware how they work. My point was that wearing them to the shop would not cause them to break down. Obviously you should still wash your hands

Emily M I used to work for tsa and they usually lasted 2-4 hours. We used extra thin gloves too.

It shouldn’t. It’s just a coincidence that they’re making a video about the flu pandemic

@@pretzelstick320 I think they make this video now on purpose... I highly doubt it's a coincidence. Besides, more people are interested about other pandemics now.

"its just flu bro and masks are against my freedom"...american idiots, circa 2020

@@sniffles8672 As an American, I can confirm. Our state is lifting the stay at home order in a week because of some ridiculous protests about freedom. Apparently they don't care much about public health.

by year 2122

I lost my great grandfather in the 1918 pandemic. I don't understand why people are flippant about things when it's their health. Rose colored glasses I guess. Glad to hear you are taking it seriously like I am. Stay well and safe Peg.

@@fairygirlz2759 Last year, I finally found where his brother that died from the flu was burried. All Grandpa told me was he burried him
in a farm field in SD.

Spreading awareness was much slower then. So sad.

@Henrietta Rollins doesn't mean you don't have to be cautious.

Perhaps we should call COVID-19 the "Chinese Flu".

@@yourworstnightmare6003 a certain President already has 😏

@@splash0114 I'm not sure he even deserves that title but true.

Maybe it had an accent and used a lot of adobo

I was waiting for somebody to comment on the false claims that one particular race started a disease. I wonder how easily weaponizing the common flu would be...

I'm living my best life

maybe there's currently a huge pandemic that will change history forever and you're watching a video about the last one? Idk, might be unrelated.

@Cathy L Cathy the virus doesn't care whether you believe in it or not. If this is all because the government truly wanted to strip our rights away using this, our inglorious orange overlord wouldn't have spent 2 months banging his baby hands against his desk calling it a hoax

@Cathy L they said on 9/11 that the beams in the Twin Towers couldn't be melted but I personally think Bin Laden used a invisible cloak given by the devil himself to melt the beams on orders by the Lizard People or Crab People so that this New World Order will be successful and it well be 😈

@Cathy L Are you OK? Do you need a hug?

@Cathy L Wait, are you being serious? I think we have better things to do than make up conspiracy theories

And delivery drivers, truck drivers, pharmacists, and grocery store workers.

Ikr he sounds more female. Strange huh?

It was much worse

@Henrietta Rollins Granted though, we've advanced a whole lot medically ever since, it's highly unlikely that a flu is going to kill more than 100 million people ever again (hopefully). The fact that people thought Vick's VapoRub would potentially cure them... had me chuckle, not gonna lie. But then again, there're still anti-vaxxers and flat-earthers out there today, which I cannot for the live of me even begin to understand.

sounds exactly the same as the symptoms of the worst cases.

it is immune over activity that makes it so bad and fills lungs. it sounds the same.

except one killed 100 million and another might not even reach 1 million deaths (hopefully)

Nice to know it's not just warp capability. ;)

Kimmy Kat not every 100 years the last pandemic was just 10 years ago.

Yup.
