Some 1918 flu victims died hours after their first symptoms. Was it mostly suffocation?

[RandomPoster]

Were a lot of the victims of the 1918 flu epidemic literally drowning in their own mucus and blood?

The 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic That Killed Millions

"The victims of the 1918 Spanish flu suffered greatly. Within hours of feeling the first symptoms of extreme fatigue, fever, and headache, victims would start turning blue. Sometimes the blue color became so pronounced that it was difficult to determine a patient's original skin color.

The patients would cough with such force that some even tore their abdominal muscles. Foamy blood exited from their mouths and noses. A few bled from their ears. Some vomited; others became incontinent.

The Spanish flu struck so suddenly and severely that many of its victims died within hours of coming down with their first symptom. Some died a day or two after realizing they were sick."

It is much easier for people to travel nowadays.
This flu might become a pandemic

Praying for a complete containment and elimination of the disease in this and other countries.

In 1971, I was married to a man who was an elder in the church of my fathers, and was surrounded by people who were loving friends and acquaintances. The first day I joined the church, I became friends with this delightful 81-year old widow who lost her husband in 1918 to the horrible flue epidemic that was raging through. He had been a dentist, and so she spent the remainder of her life as a dental hygienist who cleaned people's teeth and routed them to the local dentists there. She never married again and had been a widow for 53 years when I met her. I thought how awful it must have been to be young and lose your husband and turn your life into a serving person in the community who made people's lives better with teeth cleaning that extends people's lives and good health.

From the cdc: "In the United States, it was first identified in military personnel in spring 1918. It is estimated that about 500 million people or one-third of the world’s population became infected with this virus. The number of deaths was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide with about 675,000 occurring in the United States."​

I hope we never see days like Mrs. Edna Stowe Thomas, one of my life's most wonderful acquaintances, who lost the love of her life to the flu.

Preventing coronavirus, from the cdc:

There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this disease. However, as a reminder, CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including:

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
• Follow CDC’s recommendations for using a facemask.
  • CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a facemask to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including COVID-19.
  • Facemasks should be used by people who show symptoms of COVID-19 to help prevent the spread of the disease to others. The use of facemasks is also crucial for health workers and people who are taking care of someone in close settings (at home or in a health care facility).
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
  • If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.

These are everyday habits that can help prevent the spread of several viruses. CDC does have specific guidance for travelers.

I suffer from several autoimmune diseases, dear, and what I read is people in my age bracket are 100% likely to get the disease if it ever comes around us. I read a lot more than I posted. I just wanted to let people know that washing the hands for 30 seconds with a good soap gives them a better chance of not getting the corona virus if exposed.

From a Brigish publication, they said that the coronavirus has already spread to 30 countries, and some states in the US at another. Coronavirus death toll: How many have died from deadly virus? How many infected?​
