My great grandfather was a doctor in Lawrence County Alabama. He died of the flu in 1918 leaving behind several young children. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/52851422/james-neal-jackson
first of all they made spitting illegal all they had places of quarantine less population and checkpoints at ports of Entry
And also affected much of world which maditi a ‘pandemic’.
Is there an “official” listing of people who were counted as being victims of the Spanish Flu? We had two great grandparents that died during that time period. One’s obit says he died “following a brief illness”. Have not found an obit for the second but she died at age 66 on Dec 7, 1918, the middle of the second wave.
My Grandfather’s Father died fast with this flu in 1901. A lot of the gravestones in the cemetery bear the same death date.
This did NOT “eradicate” the Spanish Flu. The Spanish Flu killed everyone that was susceptible and only left those not infected or those who developed anti-bodies. This flu “burned out.”
