1918 Pandemic
In 1918 a flu virus swept across the world. It was estimated that about 500 million people were infected by the flu. The number of deaths worldwide was estimated to be 50 million, of that there were 675,000 deaths from influenza in the United States alone. In Colorado, an estimated 8,000 people died from the influenza.
A pandemic takes place when a new virus breaks out and is able to spread and infect people and in an efficient manner from person to person. Because it is a novel (new) virus, people have little or no immunity to the virus. In 1918-19 nearly one third of world's population died.
In Colorado, it was Governor Julius Gunter who put restrictions in place that were similar to restrictions to keep gatherings small in 1918 that we have experience this year.
There were several attempts to develop vaccines to fight the Spanish Influenza in 1918 and some came close, but in 1918 scientists were not able to identify the exact bacteria that was spreading the pandemic.
Since then many vaccines have been developed for various diseases, small pox, measles, and polio to name a few. Rabies vaccine was developed nearly 100 years ago. Between 1918-19 and 2020 science has developed new technologies and has been able to learn vital facts to fight COVID-19.
