That is impossible to know since records have not been kept for more than around a fifty to a hundred years. Before that, either statistics were not kept or they didn't know that the cause of a death was the flu since they didn't even know viruses existed.
There were around 50 million people who died world wide from the Spanish Flu pandemic and there are around 36,000 deaths each year from seasonal flu in the US alone. The numbers would likely be staggering if we could isolate all the deaths in history that were due to the flu and then count them, but that is not possible with the available information.
The flu epidemic.
YES. The 1918 flu pandemic killed over 20 million people worldwide.
It is possible that flu killed people in the middle ages, but it was not identified as "flu" but something else. Since no medical records were made or kept it is hard to know what people died of most of the time.
Estimated that anywhere from 20 to 100 million people were killed worldwide by the Spanish Flu
The Spanish flu of 1918 affected people of all ages, but disproportionately impacted young adults aged 20-40. Those with weaker immune systems, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with preexisting health conditions, were also particularly vulnerable. Additionally, overcrowded living conditions and the movement of troops during World War I contributed to the rapid spread of the virus.
The Spanish flu?
Most of the time you get the flu is when someone sneezes on you of if someone coughs on you
Spanish flu killed millions of people during the 1918-1919 pandemic.
Estimated that anywhere from 20 to 100 million people were killed worldwide by the Spanish Flu
I understand it killed more people than the war itself.
Yes, each year in the US approximately 36,000 people die from the flu; most did not have a flu vaccination.
The epidemic that killed canadians after the war, was called the spanish influenza (flu)
