Slide 12 of 33: The pandemic hit the US badly, killing 500,000-675,000 people. Yet its effects varied between cities – those that went into lockdown fastest were most effective at reducing the death rate according to a 2007 research paper. The city of St. Louis, Missouri quarantined citizens two days after the first case arrived and had a low death toll of 358 people per 100,000. In comparison, Philadelphia’s first case was recorded on 17 September 1918 and it didn’t implement social distancing measures until 3 October, after allowing a city-wide parade to take place on 28 September. The death toll was high at 748 deaths per 100,000.

More than half a million Americans died

We have had 600,000 die from the covid 19 and more are going to die sigh

Slide 15 of 33: In Canada, the Spanish Flu claimed the lives of an estimated 55,000 people out of a population of 8.7 million. For comparison, World War I killed approximately 60,000 Canadians. The disease first arrived in the port cities of Montréal, Québec City and Halifax in the spring of 1918, before spreading west across the country. In September 1918 the city of Victoria hosted a Eucharistic Congress attended by 40,000 people, which undoubtedly helped the disease to spread. 

Canada lost 55,000 lives to Spanish Flu

Wow

Thank goodness for safety harnesses, though truth be told it looks like mouth-to-mouth. I think I saw this photo elsewhere and the dangling young man was actually injured and hanging unconcious
