Just that- a 'flu pandemic spread around the world in the course of just over a year, which led to the deaths of 50 million people. the pandemic was not particularly dramatic, since it took over a year to spread, and most of it's victims were physically vulnerable people such as the elderly, the very young, and people who were already ill with something else. Also, the attention of much of the world was focused upon the conclusion of WW1, so they regarded the 'flu pandemic as secondary in importance to this. Wounded and ill soldiers were amongst the victims of the 'flu, since their immune systems were already depleted or in a state of physical shock due to their existing condition, and they were'nt able to fight off the virus as well as they otherwise might have. Because the majority of the victims were the very old, the already ill, and very young children, most people half-expected these categories to succumb, and whilst mourning their loss, were not especially surprised about it.
