Spanish Flu in 1918 US

Historical facts have already been introduced in various media and online, so please refer to them for the details. Yet, there are few which try to figure out the real picture by the testimony of each person like this, so that you can see the people's way of life, way of thinking, every method and effort for them to solve the serious problem at that time. From public to folk remedies, there were so many !! It is interesting that various cases are similarly now, for example, public vaccination was carried out on a large scale, but it had no effect, since at that time, Virus cannot be found and seen so they only thought of bacterial infections that could be seen with light microscopes. Also, as with today, it was said that "wearing a mask is essential !!", But that, too, did not make effect much to prevent the spread of infection, for that were coarse mesh.

The biggest threat those days was the young people more, who were both physically and mentally health, went die in a very short period of time. Many doctors and biologists couldn't understand the why...? It's just recent they found the "control of the immune system is the key!" as a coping method for this kind of viral disease today. "Body fluid accumulates in the lungs and suffocates ..." is a so-called cytokine storm, but this cytokine, in fact, is not a single chemical substance, but is a general term for several different chemical substances as well as immunoglobulins. But it's not well known. even by doctors. In the first place, the immune system of the human body itself is not really well understood. It's just a small part of the whole explained on TV or papers. It is the same in modern times and at that time that many intellectuals and doctors who know only the surface repeated strange explanations, then the story have changed next to next quickly because it didn't meet the facts.
