Verified answer

The 1918 influenza pandemic ended in the summer of 1919. The disease was first detected in the U.S. in March 1918, and it surged three separate times. The second wave of illness (in the fall of 1918) was responsible for most of the deaths.

How to recognize politicized agenda: to end the flu pandemic, people were told to go outside and get fresh air. For COVID, a common respiratory cold virus, people told to lockdown together, stay inside, wear mask all the time breathing in same germs.

You can’t give covid to yourself by breathing into your own mask... unless you have it already. One of the first things we were told was to get fresh air and sunshine. That’s medical expert advice not politics. You stupid liar.

My wife's father, (born in 1915) who has already passed in 1994 but before his death always told the family this story, way before any of the events of today. At three to four years old told everyone in his family he remembered a plague where he had to find his own food & fend for himself, he remembered being very hungry & no one could help him get anything to eat. Everyone, in his family was ill unable to do anything. Several children brothers & sisters died in his own family at that time. That event changed his life forever, he always asked & said to everyone even to the little grandchildren who couldn’t even talk yet: “Did you get enough to eat?” and he always saved money & never spent on any wasteful luxurious items. No one in the family can argue this fact because he left us all with a fat fat bank account. Who knew?

A little over a year but that was without preventative measures and 20-60 million deaths. Since we are taken precautions it could be several years.

It was the one of the worst pandemic humans ever faced. It lasted for almost 2 years and claimed millions of deaths.

No.

It can be confusing because the Spanish Flu in 1918 was also an H1N1 flu virus, and so is the Swine Flu that pigs pass to each other. But the strain that caused the 2009 pandemic of H1N1/09 novel "swine flu" was a new ("novel") flu virus in 2009.

The 1918 Flu Pandemic:

There was a very deadly influenza pandemic in 1918, but the strain of that virus was different than the particular virus that caused the 2009 swine flu pandemic. The 1918 virus was also different from the swine flu that pigs pass to each other as well as the influenza that surfaced in the 1970's, and the one in the 1930's. All of these were "related," and had similar qualities and properties because they were all H1N1 influenza viruses. See the question below about pandemic swine flu for more information about its viral type and name.

More about the 1918 pandemic:

The 1918 flu was called the Spanish Flu, because it was believed to have originated in Spain. But there is some evidence that it started in the US and then was spread to other places by the soldiers in WW 1 as they moved from location to location and back and forth from the US.

Some have speculated that it may have started in hogs, but more believe that it actually began in humans. The Spanish Flu was known to have been spread from humans to hogs at least in one known location.

No. The 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic was caused by an H1N1 influenza strain, but until that pandemic, it was not before known to be in swine. There is speculation that it may have started in humans and then was transmitted by humans to the pigs, causing the first H1N1 outbreaks in pigs during that pandemic. Others believe it began in pigs and was given to humans during that same time period.

There is no definite evidence of exactly where it started. The first US reports of the H1N1 virus in 1918 were from a military fort in Kansas, Fort Riley. But there may have been cases of it prior to that in Austria in 1917. Still other historians believe it more likely began in Asia first, but again these would only be human strains and not the ones that were caught by pigs in 1918.

The 1918 pandemic lasted a touch over two years, and eventually faded after the fourth wave, thanks to mixture of social distancing, mask wearing, isolation of cases, and herd immunity.

The virus was never completely defeated, the Spanish Flu hasn't really disappeared from the world. The cases keep it up popping every now then, but in isolated instances never spiraling out of control to succeed in its previous pandemic level.

What infectious agent is involved in Swine Flu?

"Swine flu" is a viral infection of swine (pigs). There is evidence that this virus is the same that infected humans in the 1918 pandemic. It has been labeled the N1H1. There has been controversy that the flu now is a variant of this 1918 flu. We are not sure where it started: pigs or humans? "Swine flu" H1N1 virus produces similar influenza-like illnesses. Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue and some diarrhea and vomiting. The present H1N1 virus is not zoonotic swine flu, as it is not transmitted from pigs to humans, but from person to person.

Why did they rename Swine Flu?

the official name for the swine flu is the H1N1 virus. At first, it was believed that the virus came from pigs, but now that we are convinced it actually does not, we refer to it as the H1N1 virus. However, it is still very commonly known as the swine flu.


What is a H1N1 virus?

Swine flu is a respiratory disease caused by type A influenza virus that regularly causes outbreaks of influenza in pigs. The "classical" swine flu virus (an influenza type A H1N1 virus) was first isolated from a pig in 1930. Swine flu viruses cause illness in pigs, but the death rates are low. This new virus, although it is being called "swine flu," is not the same virus.


Can Swine Flu mix with another virus?

Yes. In fact the way the H1N1 pandemic swine flu was formed by the mixing of a human flu virus, a bird flu virus and a swine flu virus in a pig. When two similar viruses that are infecting the same cell exchange genetic material this is known as reassortment. They go on to form a new virus.


What type of virus is the H1N1 classified as?

It is a Type A Influenza virus with RNA genome.Also called Swine Flu, the 2009 Pandemic Flu, 2009 Swine Flu, and A-H1N1/09.


Is the swine flue a fungus?

Swine Flu A-H1N1/09 is caused by a virus, not by a fungus. The virus is a Type A Influenza strain named A-H1N1/09 or also called the Pandemic Swine Flu virus among other names around the world.
