In March 1918 an international influenza pandemic broke out, that led to the deaths of 50 million people worldwide.
The epidemic was spread over 102 years ago Corona is now threatening a region, not just the country, but the entire country. This virus has changed the landscape of the world. The entire human race is now battling Corona. Spenish flu 1918 Spenish flu 1918 A similar virus spread in 1918, called the Spanish flu. At that time, the infection spread so fast and the number of people died, and it shocked the whole world. About a third of the earth's population was hit by the Spanish flu epidemic 102 years ago. At least five million people died of the flu at that time. Many members of his family, including the wife of famous writer and poet Suryakant Tripathi Nirala of India, died of the disease. He later wrote about how his family members had disappeared from the scene. The Ganges River in India was full of bodies. There were so many bodies around, he also mentioned that there was less wood to burn. The situation had worsened at that time, when there was no rain, the area became dry and there was a famine. There was an extreme lack of food. Lack of food has led to the decline of many people's immune system. Expensive increased. In cities, the number of people was increasing and the number of people getting sick due to it was increasing. At that time the medical system was much less than it is now. Although the cure for the corona virus has not been discovered today, scientists have been successful in mapping the gene for the corona virus. It is on this basis that scientists claim to be vaccinated. When the flu spread in 1918, the prevalence of antibiotics was not that high. There was not that much medical equipment to treat a serious illness. Most people believed in home remedies. What can we learn from that epidemic? Although there is a century gap between these two epidemic outbreaks, there are many similarities between the two diseases. It is possible to learn many things from the flu experience we need. At that time, people were often reminded to wash their hands with soapy water repeatedly. It was likewise said to make the proper distance with each other. Social distance was considered very important at that time. The lockdown situation was the same as it is now and the same situation is repeated today. We need to be alert today by learning lessons from the Spanish flu. How to practice self-discipline to avoid potential fear? How to save and save food? What was the symptom? Patients suffering from Spanish flu had fever, bone pain, and eye problems. Many people died because of this. It was also spread from one place to another. The disease, which has spread to most of the countries of the world, has caused epidemic in Mumbai city of India. India was the fifth largest country to die of this disease worldwide. Shortly thereafter, a severe flu vaccine was developed in Assam, which was allegedly infected by thousands of patients. Which had some degree of success in controlling the disease. According to a 2012 report, the disease was also detected when people from one country migrated to another country. Even now, the corona virus originating from Wuhan province in China has spread to almost all countries of the world. The death toll from this infection has reached about 92,000 today and millions of people have been infected. Now everyone is trying to figure out how to protect themselves and their relatives from the virus. Today, another pestilence, such a great crisis, has come upon us. We, too, should learn a lot from the flu that happened some 102 years ago, and the consent that people had at that time. The problem of the ever-growing corona virus needs to be taken into account, and it is imperative that all of us continue to fight this epidemic. Corona education and cure

The 1918 influenza pandemic, commonly known by the misnomer Spanish flu or as the Great Influenza epidemic, was an exceptionally deadly global influenza pandemic caused by the H1N1 influenza A virus. The earliest documented case was March 1918 in Kansas, United States, with further cases recorded in France, Germany and the United Kingdom in April. Two years later, nearly a third of the global population, or an estimated 500 million people, had been infected in four successive waves. Estimates of deaths range from 17 million to 50 million, and possibly as high as 100 million, making it the second-deadliest pandemic in human history after the Black Death bubonic plague of 1346–1353.
According to a new book, the plague’s horrors haunt the literature of writers like T.S. Eliot and Virginia Woolf.
The first recorded cases of Spanish Flu in the United States are in the spring of 1918, though it likely arrived earlier in the year.
