Influenza
Influenza has been with us a long time. According 1 some Greek writers on medical history, the outbreak of 412 B. C. was of influenza. The same has been suggested of the sickness that swept through the Greek army2 Syracuse in 395 B. C. Flu is a disease that moves most quickly among people 3 in crowded conditions, hence, it is likely to attack armies.
During the nineteenth century there were five widespread4of influenza. The last of the five 5 in 1889 and marked the beginning of the story of influenza in our time. Like the recent outbreak,6started in Asia.
For more than forty years before that outbreak, influenza had steadily7and was believed to be dying out. A new group of outbreaks was introduced by the great outbreak of 1889-1890 and for the next quarter of a century flu8a constant threat.
In April 1918 flu broke out among American troops stationed in France. It quickly spread through all the armies but caused relatively9deaths. Four months later,10, a second outbreak started which proved to be a killer. It killed not only the old and already sick but also 11 young adults. It went through every country in the world, only a few distant islands in the South Atlantic and the Pacific remaining 12. It brought the life of whole countries 13, food supplies stopped and work loss was very great. Before the great outbreak ended, it 14at least 15 million people.
Thereafter there have been several great outbreaks throughout the world. It is thus 15 that influenza is a terrible infection that we have to pay more attention to.
