What It Was Really Like To Live Through The ‘Spanish Flu’ Pandemic In 1918-1919 And How It Compares to Covid-19
Flu traveled to Europe and other countries through American soldiers
Not just America, but Spanish flu was spread all over the world in 1918 itself. The major carriers of the flu were the American soldiers that were shipped to Europe in the month of March and April of 1918. Almost 200,000 thousand soldiers were shipped, and along with them was the deadly Spanish flu.
After infecting the 31,000 people in Great Britain, the virus swiftly spread to the other regions of the world. The flu took over India, Russia, North Africa, Japan, China, the Philippines, and even New Zealand by July. The year 2019-20 saw the spreading of COVID-19 from nation to nation through travelers.
