John Barry's unbelievably great book.."The Great Influenza".. About the 1918 pandemic..It was running right along beside World War 1 and there were people in the USA that thought it was the result of German Biological warfare (It wasn't)...

Besides being very informative on viruses, contagions it goes on and on about the effects on the population as the plague moved from town to town and spread out..And the result was fear...The 1918 pandemic was several magnitudes more deadly than this current contagion..Fear often resulted from the experts and authorities trying to downplay the danger..And the medical authorities such as JAMA did not go along with the politicians and civilians..JAMA told it like it was..deadly beyond belief..Women would volunteer. Thinking they were noble and brave like Joan of Arc..They quickly dispensed with these fantasies in the hospital halls of death or homes where only the orphans remained. These Joans all quickly disappeared. These "brave" women just quit after half a day..And never returned..The grave diggers all quit. Afraid of the disease and the families were left to bury their dead..There were no more coffins and victims were buried in mass grave eventually dug by steam shovels...No more morticians..They all quit...

Useful information...In the influenza pandemic..The period of death and contagion in any area was in the neighborhood of six to eight weeks..After that "passage" the virus became less lethal and there were fewer cases because the survivors had some immunity and there were fewer numbers of people who were first encountering the virus..In most cases not enough hosts for the virus to infect or spread..And the contagion did not return.

If you want to stay ahead of the bull and know the real truth..Get the book from Amazon...
